Waste Management Legislation

Waste management legislation refers to laws and regulations designed to manage waste disposal, recycling, and treatment to protect public health and the environment. These laws aim to reduce waste generation, promote recycling, and ensure safe handling of hazardous materials. They establish guidelines for waste collection, transportation, and disposal, often requiring permits and monitoring. Compliance helps prevent pollution, reduces landfill use, and encourages sustainable practices. Governments at various levels create these laws, reflecting local communities' needs and environmental goals, ensuring responsible waste management practices for a healthier planet.
