Waste Management Policy

Wastes constitute environmental nuisance if not properly managed. Wastes shall therefore be properly collected, segregated, handled and disposed off in an environmentally safe manner as not to cause injury or damage to plants, animals and the environment (the soil, water and air).

Industrial wastes and kitchen wastes shall be collected in bins marked accordingly. In remote locations, biodegradable wastes shall be disposed off in pits and pits backfilled.

Non-degradable wastes (but combustible ones) shall be incinerated with proper precautions taken not to cause air pollution. Non-degradable and non- combustible wastes shall be collected, crated and conveyed for disposal at government approved disposal sites.

In all however, proper precautions shall be taken to avoid discharge of pollutants in the air, land or water. Dumping of wastes into creeks, rivers and other water ways are prohibited.
