I want to know some best practices of managing solid waste for mountainous tourist sites in different part of the world. The sites may be religious places, natural tourism sites, where several thousands of visitors travel by either through foot path or by cable car. Now, the question is how to manage the solid waste generated by visitors, service providers ( kiosks, restaurants, flower shops etc. ) at the top of destination sites. If there is no space available for treatment and disposal at the top of mountain, what are the best sustainable ways of collection and transportation of waste from top to bottom hill, where waste trucks can collect for secondary transportation?
Dear Pathak,
Here are documents that may be useful.

I agree with Dr.Bachir.
But did you try to prevent the waste.
It's easy to prevent than to treat.
Yes I agree with you. Preventing the waste is good solution than treatment. Ideally, its easy to say but practically and habitually, its really difficult to do it. For a site, where thousands of visitors visit, and generate significant amount of waste, mostly waste from packaged foods, pet bottles, flowers brought in religious places..There is no space available for treatment and disposal at the top of mountain, only assessed by cable way or foot trail.
Yes then collection areas and put signs for it is the only solution as a Kind of prevention.
