Waste Management

Waste management encompasses the collection, transport, processing, recycling, disposal, and monitoring of waste materials. These waste materials can range from ordinary household trash to industrial waste, and the methods of handling these materials can vary based on their nature, toxicity, and other factors. Waste disposal can impact the environment, such as water quality, soil health, and air quality.

Voters may assess policies concerning stances on regulations related to waste disposal, recycling, and reduction, initiatives aimed at promoting or supporting recycling industries and technologies, management of hazardous or specialized wastes, approaches to educating the public about waste reduction and sustainable consumption, and views on the role of private sector versus public services in waste management solutions.
