Summary

The Administrator must create a Source Reduction Clearinghouse — a collection and computer database of management, technical, and operational ways to reduce waste at the source. The clearinghouse must be a hub for sharing those technologies, help States run outreach and education so they adopt the methods, and gather reports from States that get grants under section 13104 about how their source-reduction programs are working. The Administrator must make the gathered information and any other related analysis available to the public. The database must let any person enter information and search or retrieve it.
