The way ahead : an assessment of waste problems for the Buada community, and strategies toward community waste reduction in Nauru / prepared by International Waters Programme, Nauru and Alice Leney

Abstract

This report is the result of a visit to Nauru of 21 days from 14th November to 5th Dec 2003. In May 2003 Buada Community had been chosen as the International Waters Programme Pilot Project, to implement a community-based waste reduction pilot project. There were two main areas of interest for this visit: to identify the baseline situation regarding waste in Buada Community, and to determine the current situation on Nauru with regard to the legal and institutional responsibility for dealing with community waste. Thus this report is divided into two parts: Part A details work associated specifically with the Buada Pilot Area, and Part B details applicable legislation, and the current situation regarding who is doing what in terms of waste collection on Nauru.
