CHALLENGES Economic activities expected to affect the quality & quantity of our waste stream. - Tourism - Trade Liberalization - Technological changes

Challenges ctd…. - Landfill waste disposal fast becoming out dated. - Need for aggressive investigation into alternatives - Need for change in attitude toward waste management - Need for collective regional approach, including information sharing

It is therefore up to the OECS and to a greater extent CARICOM to accept the challenge and be prepared to adopt a uniformed approach and provide a regional policy for the way forward in solid waste management Grenada Solid Waste Management Authority
