The laws of local governments are called ordinances. These local laws have the authority of the state behind them and you can be prosecuted for violating them, much the same as state laws. Local governments have procedural protections similar to those of the state, but these may vary among the local governments. The legislature can also affect local policy and issues through the passage of special laws that apply only to a certain locale. This is EDIS document FE456, a publication of the Department of Food and Resource Economics, Florida Cooperative Extension Service, UF/IFAS, University of Florida, Gainesville, FL.

The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) manages all aspects of solid and hazardous wastes. RCRA has separate requirements for generators of wastes, transporters of wastes, and owner/operators of facilities for treatment, storage, or disposal of hazardous waste. The requirements of RCRA include: permitting by EPA and exhaustive recordkeeping. The requirements are intended to track the movement and handling of the waste until it reaches final disposal. This is known as the cradle-to-grave approach to monitoring wastes. This is EDIS document FE444, a publication of the Department of Food and Resource Economics, Florida Cooperative Extension Service, UF/IFAS, University of Florida, Gainesville, FL.
