Abstract

Addressed chiefly to local authorities in relation to the wastes traditionally collected or accepted by them from households, and commercial and industrial sources. These authorities need to realise that good waste management practice is a test of local authority environmental management and responsibility. Waste management choices will also have important implications for other environmental policies, notably in relation to the control and reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and control of emissions to waters.
