Solid Waste Management is widely recognized as a major concern for Pacific Island Countries (PICs) with the potential to cause negative impacts on national development activities including tourism and trade, public health and the environment. The introduction of the Waste Management Bill 2009 is an indication that Government recognizes the importance of proper waste management. The Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment (MNRE) is the agency that has the mandate to manage waste and ensure that any issues related to solid waste management are addressed appropriately.
