Download or read book Disposal of Roadside Litter Mixtures written by Dorothy L. Andres and published by Transportation Research Board. This book was released on 1993 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This synthesis will be of interest to maintenance managers, maintenance engineers, those responsible for environmental protection and waste management, and others concerned with the removal and disposal of litter from the roadside. Information is presented on the various aspects of the roadside litter problem, including the causes, amounts, costs, and hazards of litter disposal. This synthesis describes the state of the practice with respect to the magnitude and character of the roadside litter collection and disposal process. This report of the Transportation Research Board discusses various state practices with regard to roadside litter collection and highlights the volunteer efforts for roadside litter removal, such as Adopt-a-Highway and Keep America Beautiful. The disposal practices followed by state highway maintenance agencies are described, as are the issues associated with the available landfill disposal sites, incineration, and other disposal methods. Alternative strategies and deterrents to highway litter, such as litter reduction regulations and educational programs are presented, together with suggested strategies for recycling, reuse of materials, and smart purchase practices. Recommendations for future research are also included.
Download or read book Reducing Litter on Roadsides written by Gerry John Forbes and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2009 with total page 79 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The report provides information concerning the prevention and removal of roadside litter, unfulfilled needs, knowledge gaps, and underperforming activities. It covers enforcement, education, awareness, and engineering methods for both litter prevention and collection. The synthesis focuses on state DOT personnel involved in roadside litter prevention and their contractors who conduct litter prevention and removal programs. Also, as roadside litter prevention appears to be a multiple stakeholder activity, policy makers and practitioners from other government agencies and environmental organizations, as well as groups and volunteers may be interested in this synthesis"--Pref.
Download or read book Best Management Practices for Environmental Issues Related to Highway and Street Maintenance written by William Albert Hyman and published by Transportation Research Board. This book was released on 1999 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This synthesis report will be of interest to state, local, and federal agency environmental and maintenance administrators, directors, supervisors, engineers, and scientists. It describes current best management practices (BMPs) for environmental issues related to road and street maintenance. The synthesis documents relevant background and recent information with regard to management practices that can help protect, preserve, or enhance the environment while at the same time allow road maintenance organizations to carry out their fundamental mission of maintenance and repair in a cost-effective manner. Information for the synthesis was collected by surveying U.S. and Canadian state and local transportation agencies and by conducting a literature search using domestic sources. This report of the Transportation Research Board describes BMPs consisting of broad management approaches applicable to the entire maintenance program or to more than one program area. In addition, BMPs for specific maintenance activities or groups of maintenance activities are included. Finally, BMPs concerning specific environmental issues are discussed.

Download or read book Recycling and Use of Waste Materials and By products in Highway Construction written by Robert J. Collins and published by . This book was released on 1994 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This synthesis will be of interest to administrators and policy makers; pavement, material, geotechnical, and environmental engineers; and maintenance and construction professionals involved with highway design and construction issues. Information is provided on the technical, economic, and environmental aspects (including legislative and regulatory considerations) of recycling and using waste materials and by-products in highway construction. The quantities, characteristics, possible uses, current and past research activities, and actual highway construction use of each waste material or by-product is provided. This information, based on a review of nearly 1,000 references and on responses to a 1991 survey (updated in 1993), is classified into four broad categories based on source: agricultural, domestic, industrial, and mineral wastes. A Technical Appendix to this document containing an extensive bibliography, supporting information, and details regarding the use of selected waste materials and by-products is available separately from the Transportation Research Board.
