Integrated Solid Waste; Management for Rural Areas. A Planning Tool Kit for Solid Waste Managers This manual seeks to provide a rudimentary set of tools to help address the challenges of solid waste management for rural areas, with a focus on waste reduction. The guide is a first step at sharing experiences of a regional council of governments in applying strategic planning principles, group problem solving, public involvement processes, business development, and regional approaches to solid waste management and waste reduction. The authors based the guide on the Land-of-Sky Regional Council's experience in Western North Carolina. Their hopes is that the tools, principles, and concepts they developed and used in North Carolina may be applicable to a nationwide audience. If interested, you may read or download a copy of the "Planning Tool Kit for Solid Waste Managers" (386K). (Acrobat Reader is required to click and read.
