The solid waste management office was inducted in 2004 in an effort to tackle the ever-growing waste problems in this bustling state of Koror. At the very beginning, the office was merely responsible for the collection and disposal of wastes from some residences in Koror. After several feasible studies and surveys conducted by our staff and other agencies involved, the goal and objective of the office became the reduction of volume of waste being generated and disposed into the landfill, and also turning different types of wastes into useful resources through the 3R system. Ever since the initiation of the solid waste management office, several programs have been implemented towards this goal thus enabling Koror State to embark on the journey to become an eco-friendly society.
Please explore around our webpage to learn more about our different 3R programs and activities and find out more about how you as an individual can do to be a part of our strive towards a better future.
