Abstract:
In 2007 Sri Lankan government introduced the National Policy of solid waste management and allocated LKR 5.7 billion in 2007 and LKR 44.24 billion in 2017 but the major waste management practice adopted by the Western Province even by the year 2020 is dumping to sanitary landfill without resource recovery. This practice contradicts to the 4-R principles advocated by the National Policy.
