Answers
The public must be involved and must appreciate the problems related to HHW.
• Publicizing local disposal and collection schemes and guidelines, providing adequate explanation for reasoning behind the schemes adopted.
• There should be both national and local initiatives, for example, flyers, Web sites, public notices, news stories, and so on, for publicizing the management of HHW, giving the same unambiguous message.
• Regular door-to-door collections to include householders without their own transport.
• Easily accessible internet and telephone help lines should be available.
• Access to clearly signposted household waste recycling centers.
• Take back schemes at retail centers for WEEE, CFC-containing household appliances, and so on.
• Voluntary schemes/legislation to encourage/ensure manufacturers disclose the contents of all potentially hazardous products and use appropriate labeling schemes.
• Ensure householders and waste handlers are educated of the dangers inherent in collecting and sorting of HHW.
