摘要

Sustianable solid waste management is a strategy for achieving environmental quality in both the developed and the developing world. Environmental quality is a necessary condition for an increase in per capita welfare over time. The paper suggests alternative instruments for solid waste reduction, re-sue and recycling. But to be able to apply the suggested economic instruments, the quantities and composition of the waste must be known. Having identified the current instruments of Botswana's Solid water management (regulatory measures, environ- Mental education, and economic instruments of proper- Ty rates, service levy, and sanitation fees), the paper Argues that these do not go far enough in enhancing Environmental protection.
