The Legislature finds that:

(2) The solid wastes presently disposed of in the state contain substantial volumes of materials which are capable of recovery and reuse if recycling programs are developed and implemented within the state;
(3) The failure to recover and recycle materials from solid waste results in the unnecessary waste and depletion of natural resources;
(4) The state government, through its departments and agencies, generates substantial amounts of solid wastes which could be recovered through a coordinated recycling program;
(5) A recycling program by state departments and agencies would serve to demonstrate to local governments and private businesses the practical benefits of and proper techniques for implementing such a program; and
