Waste Management Waste management is the collection, transport, processing, recycling or disposal, managing and monitoring of waste materials. The term usually relates to materials produced by human activity, and is generally undertaken to reduce their effect on health, the environment or aesthetics. Waste management is also carried out to recover resources from it. Waste management can involve solid, liquid, gaseous or radioactive substances, with different methods and fields of expertise for each. 4

6 As well as community awareness campaigns on litter, councils can reduce litter by providing permanent or temporary bins in places such as: outside community stores at sporting fields at cultural and special events in parks and other family gathering areas Bins should prevent animals or birds scavenging in the rubbish, and keep out rain and wind. Do a search on the Internet or in your local telephone directory for rubbish bins. There are many companies around Australia who can provide you with different sorts of bins. Principles of Waste Management Good waste management for any organization, including councils, should be based on reducing waste by following the Queensland Strategic Framework: Hierarchy and Principles. Solid and liquid wastes that can t be reused or recycled should be disposed of in council rubbish tips. Strategic Framework of Waste Management A strategic framework for managing waste in Botswana is set out in CHAPTER 65:06 WASTE MANAGEMENT Act 15 established in This is an Act to provide for the establishment of the Department of Sanitation and Waste Management; to make provision for the planning, facilitation and implementation of advanced systems for regulating the management of controlled waste in order to prevent harm to human, animal and plant life; to minimize pollution of the environment, to conserve natural resources; to cause the provisions of the Basel Convention to apply in regulating the trans boundary movement of hazardous wastes and their disposal; and for matters incidental to and connected to the foregoing. 5

7 Litter Litter can be a problem in any community. Broken bottles and tins, for example, can cause injury if people don t put them into bins. Mosquitoes and other vectors can breed in water trapped in old tires and bottles. People are more likely to drop litter in places that already have litter lying around. If they see litter on the ground, they may think it is OK for them to also throw their litter on to the ground. Without providing ways for people to stop littering, the whole community can be affected because they don t want to live in a dirty town. Hierarchy for Waste Management This hierarchy lists ways of managing waste problems. The best option is to avoid creating waste in the first place. The worst option is to bury waste at a rubbish tip. Option Avoid creating waste Re use waste Recycle waste Recover energy from waste Dispose of waste safely Example Ask suppliers not to package the goods they provide, where appropriate If goods have to be packaged, ask the supplier to take back the packaging Use packaging for storage Burn waste in a legal incinerator to heat water for council or community use Bury waste in a council landfill/rubbish tip 6
