Functional elements of solid waste management
In Study Session 18 you were introduced to the functional elements (stages) of solid waste management which are:
- onsite handling, storage and processing
- collection
- transfer and transport
- resource recovery and processing
- disposal.
The complete set of functional elements will apply in urban centres managed by municipal authorities but not all of them will be relevant in rural areas.
