Recycling in Israel

Recycling in Israel accounts for approximately 20% of waste in that country.[1]

## Relevant legislation

[edit]

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]

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]

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]
