The main objectives of the policy are (a) to ensure environmental accountability and social responsibility of all waste generators, waste managers and service providers (b) to actively involve individuals and all institutions in integrated and environmentally sound solid waste management practices (c) to maximize resource recovery with a view to minimize the amount of waste for disposal and (d) to minimize adverse environmental impacts due to waste disposal to ensure health and well being of the people and on ecosystems. The "Pilisaru" national solid waste management program has been articulated to translate this National Policy into actions. Accordingly, a three year Action Plan aimed at achieving short term strategic goals of the Policy has been formulated and commenced implementation.
