The law mandates a 25% reduction in the amount of <br /> refuse taken to the landfill by 1995 and a 50% reduction in the <br /> amount of refuse taken to the landfill by 2000. <br /> The City of Santa Ana adopted the required Source Reduction and <br /> Recycling Element (SRRE) in June 1992 . This plan includes the <br /> recycling and composting programs required to meet the mandatory <br /> reductions . <br /> 31 <br /> 7 5B 4t3 <br /> CS.303 <br />
