Role of Waste Management Plans
Waste Management Plans establish strategies for collecting, treating and disposing of controlled waste, accounting for Best Practical Environmental Option principles and setting targets for recycling, recovery and landfill reduction.
WMPs set out plans for the collection, treatment and disposal of controlled waste in their respective areas. In doing so they take account of the Best Practical Environmental Option (BPEO) (see Paragragh 1.28) for different waste streams and the other principles of the WMS. Waste Management Plans establish the need for particular types of facilities, set out site selection criteria, and may identify potential locations. They also set targets for recycling and recovery of waste and for the progressive reduction in the amount of waste to be disposed of to landfill.
