Property Maintenance: Waste Rules

What is happening? The Texas Attorney General has issued an opinion as to whether a county may recycle salvaged waste. The answer is – yes, yes it can recycle salvaged waste if it meets one criteria.

Why is this important? The kicker is– a county may recycle salvaged waste if and only if the waste is “routinely discarded as waste” which is a question of fact for courts.
