authority, corporation or commission shall devise and institute a
program to source separate all other waste generated within its

include marketing arrangements and appropriate procedures to ensure the
recovery of waste for which the full avoided costs of proper collection,
transportation and disposal of source separated materials are equal to
or greater than the cost of collection, transportation and sale of said
material less the amount received from the sale of said material. This
program may be phased in, utilizing those office facilities most
conducive to operation of a source separation program but shall be fully
implemented by July first, nineteen hundred ninety-one.
