Our mindset is changing. The challenge now is to make further, rapid improvements. The cornerstones for any future improvement are the regional waste management plans. These, in line with Government policy and reflecting best international practice, have now been adopted across the country. The plans are designed to tackle the waste problem comprehensively. They include segregation at source and separate collection of recyclable and organic materials in all significant urban areas; extended networks of bring bank facilities for recyclable materials, especially in rural areas; recycling centres and waste transfer stations; biological treatment of green and organic household waste; materials recovery facilities for dry recyclables; thermal treatment facilities and residual landfill requirements.
