Local Government (Solid Waste Management) Regulations, 2011 (G.N. No. 100 of 2011).

These Regulations, made under the Local Government Act apply to the management of solid waste generated in, imported into or transferred through an area and other waste which is managed together with, or in, the same facility as the solid waste. They shall bind all waste producers, waste managers, collectors, transporters and recyclers of solid waste residing or conducting business in a City Council, Municipal Council or District Council area. In case of inconsistency with by-laws of a Council, these Regulations shall prevail. The Regulations define responsibilities of Councils in respect or solid waste and require a Waste Management Unit to be established in every Council. A Council may engage waste managers for waste management districts and shall appoint waste inspectors to monitor, inspect and enforce the provisions of these Regulations. The Regulations define duties of waste managers, waste producers and the general public in respect of waste and prescribe waste fees. They also concern composting of organic waste.
