Summary: "Dirty Dustbins and Sloppy Streets" by H. Percy Boulnois is a practical treatise written in the late 19th century that delves into the important public health issue of urban waste management. The book aims to educate the Surveyors of Towns and the general public on effective practices for scavenging and cleaning city streets and homes, highlighting how individuals can contribute to sanitation efforts. The opening of the book sets the stage for an in-depth discussion on scavenging, categorizing it into various aspects such as house refuse, street cleaning, the design of dustbins, and the means of refuse collection and disposal. Boulnois introduces the Public Health Act of 1875 as a foundational legal framework guiding local authorities on sanitation duties. He emphasizes the importance of proper waste disposal systems and addresses common challenges faced, such as defining what constitutes house refuse. Throughout, there is a focus on the practical implications for public health, showcasing both established practices and innovative suggestions to improve waste management.
