Sanctioned Homeless Encampments: Garbage and Waste Management Checklist

health departments, planners, risk managers, service providers, and operators should use the app in the initial planning and ongoing management of sanctioned homeless encampment sites. Improper management of garbage, fecal wastes, and dirty or used water can cause multiple issues for camps and residents. The major risks associated with wastes are: attracting rodents and other pests, which can transmit diseases, transmission of diseases through improper handling of animal and human fecal waste, health risks of exposures to chemical wastes, contamination of the environment and fire and explosion hazards for certain types of containerized wastes. This management checklist covers major risk topic areas associated with garbage and waste management. The Sanctioned Homeless Encampments: Garbage and Waste Management Checklist mobile app allows you to replace your paper checklist with an Android or iPhone. The mobile form includes fields to document items such as actions taken, date, encampment name/ ID, location and GPS. Once the mobile app is filled out a secure PDF is generated. The PDF is easy to share, and a copy is stored in your account for your professional biohazard cleanup records. You can also use the App Builder to personalize and customize this mobile form.
