Bulky Waste Management
Bulky Waste is identified as wastes that are too large to be collected through regular waste collection services. When not managed well, these items are a breeding ground for vector-borne disease and a source for environmental pollution especially from hazardous materials such as oil, coolant, fuel, brake, and other fluids; air-conditioning gases; and heavy metals including lead, hexavalent chromium, cadmium, and mercury.
Project Description
PacWastePlus is assisting Pacific Island Countries to improve the management of End-Of-Life vehicles and End-of-Life Tyres by providing guidelines and technical notes on safe handling and dismantling and options for in-country management of these items.
What will this project do?
This regional project will work with the GEF ISLANDS project to develop:
- Guiding document and a Decision Support Tool to guide participating countries on how to design and implement a national ELV management programme.
- Develop Drafting/Guiding Notes on how to draft national legislation for the management of End-of-Life vehicles
- Establish safe Dismantling Training Manual to be implemented by national governments to ensure both safeties of workers and prevent discharges into the environment.
- Publications and awareness materials
