Waste Management Strategy for Northern Ireland Framework
Establishes the framework for changing waste management practices in Northern Ireland through controlled landfill reduction, waste minimisation, and increased recycling and recovery, and provides the basis for District Councils to prepare Waste Management Plans.
The Waste Management Strategy for Northern Ireland (WMS), published in March 2000, establishes the framework for the substantial action required to change waste management practices in Northern Ireland. The key aim of the WMS is to achieve fully sustainable waste management through the controlled reduction in landfill, waste minimisation and a significant increase in waste recycling and recovery. It paves the way for changing waste management practices in Northern Ireland and also provides a framework for the preparation by District Councils of Waste Management Plans (WMPs) under Article 23 of the Waste and Contaminated Land Order (Northern Ireland) 1997.
