WASTE
MANAGEMENT
Publications on Solid
Waste Management
in Indian Country
IN INDIAN COUNTRY
This resource guide describes U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA), Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), and Native American organization
publications designed to assist tribal leaders, environmental personnel,
and the public in developing, expanding, and implementing integrated solid
waste management programs. More and more tribal communities are finding
that using integrated solid waste management improves their ability to handle
municipal solid waste (MSW) in a safe and environmentally sensitive manner.
These resources encourage tribal decision-makers to evaluate the appropriate
mix of waste management activities, such as source reduction, recycling, com-
posting, and landfilling, for their waste streams. These publications range from
pamphlets and newsletters that provide general outreach information, to guid-
ance documents that provide technical assistance. These documents provide
information useful to waste management programs at the developmental stage
as well as to established programs.
Integrated solid waste management involves using a combination of tech-
niques and programs to manage a community's waste stream. To account for
variations in waste streams between communities, planners can tailor integrat-
ed waste management systems to fit specific local needs. EPA suggests using
the following hierarchy as a tool for setting goals and planning waste manage-
ment activities. The elements of the hierarchy are:
Source Reduction
Recycling
filling and Waste Combustion
Source reduction or waste prevention means any practice that reduces the
amount or toxicity of waste generated. Because it avoids recycling, compost-
ing, landfilling, and combustion, source reduction can help reduce waste
disposal and handling costs. It also conserves resources and reduces pollution.
Recycling, the next level of the hierarchy, is the process by which materi-
als are collected and used as raw materials for new products. Recycling
includes collecting recyclable materials, separating materials by type, process-
ing them into reusable forms, and purchasing and using goods made with
reprocessed materials. Recycling prevents potentially useful materials from
being landfilled or combusted and allows the capacity for disposal to be pre-
served while saving energy and natural resources. Similarly, composting can
play a key role in diverting organic wastes from disposal facilities.
Landfilling and waste combustion provide the last level of the hierarchy
because they manage waste that cannot be reduced or recycled. Some
communities, due to land availability and population characteristics that make
^ t
-------
recycling impractical, might choose landfilling as their principal method of managing waste. A well-constructed,
properly operated landfill should not present a significant health risk. Waste combustion in specially designed
facilities also reduces the bulk of waste and often provides the added benefit of energy recovery.
This resource guide assists tribal decision-makers in planning and implementing integrated waste manage-
ment and educating the public on the importance of proper waste management. By working together, tribal
communities can manage their waste and protect human health and the environment.
Documents in this resource guide are grouped according to topic area (e.g., source reduction, recycling, and
landfilling). Those with EPA numbers are available free of charge and can be ordered by completing the order
form found at the end of this booklet. Orders may be mailed, faxed, or called in to EPA or placed using EPAs
online ordering system. Some documents also are available in Adobe Acrobat PDF format at the addresses
listed in the guide. Documents published by EPA Regions or other organizations can be ordered by calling the
numbers listed after the document titles. A separate bibliography of publications relating to mining waste
management and engineering practices also is available.
