1.2.3.6 Solid Waste Infrastructure
The solid waste management strategy is to entail a sequence of activities. This is to begin with the
initial separation of the waste into its organic and inorganic components. The organic component is
then to be composted using an ‘earth tub’. The mulch from the earth tub is to then be redeployed as a
fertilizer in gardening operations to fertilize lawns and hedgerows.
After the initial separation, the inorganic component is to be further separated into combustible and
non-combustible components. The combustible component is to be incinerated on-site: The noncombustible
is to be tagged, bagged and stored and transported intermittently to the San Pedro Landfill
Site.
The management of solid waste has been dealt with comprehensively in Chapter 7.
