This guide contains a series of interdisciplinary activities and support materials that focus on the often complicated scientific, technical, and policy issues related to solid waste management. It includes ready-to-use lesson plans, supplemental handouts and hands-on materials that teachers can use to engage their students in Solid Waste Management Education. Each lesson contains detailed procedures, wrap-up activities and ideas for extracurricular projects. It is designed to help students develop skills in critical thinking, problem solving, and decision-making. It also increases environmental awareness and encourages students to become empowered environmental citizens.

The Guide can be used as part of a larger curriculum, as stand-alone activities, or on an occasional basis to teach students about solid waste issues. The Correlation Matrix shows how each lesson and activity helps teachers to meet individual subject needs and national attainment targets. Lessons can also be adapted to individual teacher needs.

We hope that this guide will be beneficial in teachers' efforts to educate students about solid waste management.
