| Summary: | The Decision Maker’s Guides for Solid
Waste Management Technologies were created to help mayors
and decision makers understand the various technologies and
when they would be appropriate based on local circumstances.
Mayors are often approached by different solid waste
management technology vendors and these guides aim to
provide objective guidance and critical considerations. They
offer insights into implementing environmentally sound
treatment and disposal solutions. The guides include: (i) A
basic description of what each technology is and how it
works; (ii) Key considerations when thinking about pursuing
a specific technology; (iii) Financial implications and
suggestions for reducing and recovering costs; (iv) Examples
of where the technology has succeeded and failed; and (v)
Questions to ask the solid waste vendor to assess
appropriateness of the technology and vendor for the local context. |
