Yes. The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) regulates the management and disposal of garbage. Subtitle D of RCRA (PDF) (14 pp., 331K About PDF)encourages environmentally sound solid waste management practices that maximize the reuse of recoverable materials and foster resource recovery. States and tribes often have additional regulations governing solid waste management.
