| Summary: | This Guide for Municipalities is
intended for use by municipal officers and service providers
concerned with: (a) policies and programs that influence
waste generation and management; (b) the urban environment
in which litter is generated, accumulated, and transported;
and (c) the waterways they affect, this includes those in
charge of policy, municipal planning, urban planning, public
works, and solid waste management. The guide was created to
help municipal decision makers, service providers, and
municipal planners understand the potentially critical
consequences of litter in their cities and develop
comprehensive, interdisciplinary approaches to managing
litter flows. It introduces an array of management measures
and describes when they would be appropriate based on local
circumstances. To strengthen the case for taking an
integrated litter management approach, it provides
background information on the social and environmental
challenges posed by litter and how these have been tackled
in some cities. |
