Local government units (LGUs) are primarily tasked by law to implement solid waste management (SWM) in the Philippines. But as in other developing countries, technical and financial constraints and limited political tenure delay SWM enhancement. Nevertheless, the law mandates the creation of multisectoral Regional Ecology Centers (RECs) that serve as platform for public participation, capacity ...

Municipal solid waste (MSW) services of developing countries often suffer due to the lack of financial and operational autonomy, scientific approach, and adequate levels of resources. The solid waste management (SWM) practices of developed countries are benefited in cost and efficiency due to the participation of private players and sound financial management. However, developing economies depe...

Solid waste management (SWM) has become an issue of increasing global concern as urban populations continue to rise and consumption patterns change. The health and environmental implications associated with SWM are mounting in urgency, particularly in the context of developing countries. While systems analyses largely targeting well-defined, engineered systems have been used to help SWM agencie...

Over the past decades, the volume and diversity of municipal solid waste (MSW) generated by the United States have risen significantly. Together with increasing environmental regulations, these pressures have made solid waste management (SWM) a critical issue for communities. SWM systems are highly complex, requiring a variety of facilities and transfer mechanisms. Unlike many large-scale syste...

INDIA IS FACING serious environmental problems such as waste1 ,water and air pollution due to the fast growth of urbanisation and industrialisation. The subject of solid waste management (SWM) in Hyderabad (India) represents one of particular interest for this 23rd WEDC conference on ‘partnership and innovation’. This paper will represent a unique scheme which is based on a combination of partn...

This study aimed to determine the pupils level of capacities on solid waste management as knowledge and attitude, Implementation Solid Waste Management in terms Segragation, reduction, recycling ReUse Disposal find relationship between implementation management. It was conducted at Gusa Elementary School Cagayan de Oro City Division among pupil-respondents (n=324) based Slovins Formula computat...

Uncontrolled growth of the urban population in developing countries in recent years has made solid waste management an important issue. Today municipal solid waste management (MSWM) is one of the most challenging issues in urban cities, which are facing a serious pollution problem due to the generation of huge quantities of solid waste. This results in development of environmentally sustainable...

Mumbai, the largestmetropolitan city in India, generated 6,256 tons ofwaste per day in 2001. It is the responsibility of the Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai (MCGM) to provide Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) management services; however, the MCGM is not able to handle the increasing quantity of waste. As a result, waste litters all over the place giving rise to health and environmental probl...

The increasing generation of solid waste, varying waste compositions, and inefficient recovery processes have limited the performance traditional approaches. It is urgent to collect a virtual special issue (VSI) that consolidates research on efficient models better treatment technologies break up current system limitations. Recently, Solid Waste Management (SWM) strategies focus reuse recycling...
