b. Review the extent to which materials with economic value are lost to landfilling and recommend ways to maximize the productive use of waste materials, including materials recycling and composting; and
c. Study and recommend ways that Wisconsin can minimize the generation of waste materials, including incentives for waste materials reduction and reuse; and
d. Study the current management of toxic and nontoxic solid wastes and recommend ways to ensure that these wastes are managed in a manner that minimizes present environmental impacts and potential burdens to future generations; and
e. Consider the roles of Wisconsin municipalities, businesses and residents in the use, management and disposal of waste materials; and
5. Require the Task Force to provide ongoing reports to the Secretary of the Department of Natural Resources; and
6. Direct the Department of Natural Resources, and as appropriate, the Department of Administration and other state agencies to assist the Task Force with administrative and support services; and
