for managers was developed to establish the management of waste electrical and
appropriate technical guidelines for manag- electronic equipment in El Salvador
ing WEEE and developing each phase of
waste management. It can be found at Tech-
nical guide for integral management of waste

A guide was also developed for generators
of large-volume of WEEE, such as munici-

aims to provide these generators with tech-
