General Guidance
The management of waste and landfills is a complex process involving numerous stakeholders across society and other enabling factors. The collection of materials and guidance tools provided so far is by no means exhaustive. Thus, here are some additional resources which were considered useful to complement the technical guidance.
The guidance presented here includes reports and presentations developed within the framework of the project as well as publicly available reports elaborated by external entities, which were considered practical to add.
Communications strategy and implementation resources for waste source segregation campaigns
The guidance was developed for the source segregation pilot projects for green waste composting in Antigua and Saint Lucia and for waste oil filters in Barbados. The documents package includes the Communication strategy and implementation plan, the campaign brand guidelines as well as the campaign assets.
The communications strategy report includes key considerations which constitute guiding principles suitable to be applied in all communication initiatives.
Personal protective equipment for landfill operators
The presentation shows the types and functions of different personal protective equipment items which are necessary for waste management workers, in particular for landfill operators.
