Recycling in Israel accounts for approximately 20% of waste in that country.[1]
Relevant legislation
[edit | edit source]The two laws that most directly concern recycling in Israel are the Law to Protect Cleanliness (1984)[2] and the Law for the Collection of Recycling (1993).[3]
Law to Protect Cleanliness
[edit | edit source]The Law to Protect Cleanliness:
- bans the disposal of waste in public areas; and
- requires local governments to establish sites for the collection and removal of garbage and recycling; and
- sets fines for acts that violate the provisions of this law; and
- mandates that funds raised from such fines go to a Fund for the Protection of Cleanliness.[4]
Law for the Collection of Recycling
[edit | edit source]The Law for the Collection of Recycling:
- calls on local governments to establish areas for the collection and removal of recycling; and
- allows the Minister for the Protection of the Environment to obligate local governments to establish such areas.[5]
