 Landmark University is dedicated to disposing of waste produced on campus in an environmentally friendly and responsible manner. In order to maintain compliance with safety and environmental regulations, this waste disposal landfill action plan describes the policies and procedures that must be followed while managing a landfill on university property.

  • Qualified staff in charge of overseeing the landfill’s day-to-day operations and ensuring adherence to safety and environmental regulations will be in charge.

Waste Segregation and Reduction: 2.1. Recycling and waste reduction are priorities for Landmark University. Recycling and composting initiatives will be aggressively supported, and all waste produced on campus will be separated at the source.

  • To find and resolve any possible environmental problems, assessments shall be carried out on a regular basis.

  • In order to safeguard employees, guests, and the environment, the landfill site will abide by safety regulations and norms. There shall be devised and upheld safety procedures.
  • The university will carry out recurring inspections to guarantee adherence to all relevant safety and environmental laws.

5. Monitoring and Reporting

  • In compliance with legislative mandates, reports shall be made accessible to the relevant regulatory bodies and the general public.

6. Closure and Post-Closure Care

  • Following the termination of garbage disposal activities, the landfill facility will be appropriately closed and maintained to prevent environmental harm.

7. Training and Education: Training on environmental responsibilities, safety procedures, and waste disposal will be provided to university staff, contractors, and other pertinent stakeholders.
