Abstract
By analyzing the current waste management practices in Haliburton County at the time of this report, the authors have put together an educational package for use by the residents of the County to assist them in considering possibilities for better management of waste.
The work of the consulting firm of A.J. Robinson & Associates Inc. in assisting the County in the preparation of a Waste Management Master Plan is outlined and the report goes on to look at successful waste managment programs both in Canada and in other countries. The desirable characteristics of a conserver society are presented in opposition to that of the consumer society. Existing waste management legislation in Ontario is noted with the implications for the County of Haliburton. Finally, the work of the authors in conducting a waste audit of a local facility is described.
