This paper provides an analysis of the current status of solid waste management in Barbados, including the existing situation with respect to volume, waste characterization and final disposal. It discusses options and their costs, effectiveness, spill-overs and side-effects. A solid waste management strategy is suggested for Barbados, including a range of command-and-control approaches and economic instruments designed to influence behaviour. The fiscal implications of actual and potential waste management policies are examined within the context of the Government's 1995-96 budget.
