This study aims to do comparative analysis of what influence the SWM in Indonesia and the Philippines. As Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) will not be achieved as long as the Solid Waste Management problem is left unsolved. Municipal Solid Waste Management (MSWM) has become a common issue in most developing country along with the rapid urbanization development and globalization. Qualitative approach chosen to analyze literatures selected related to SWM during 2000-2020. Data obtained from previous studies in this article were analyzed by the NVivo 12 Plus. The results shown that governance and participation become the main factors affected the status of MSWM as it is mentioned in most of the previous studies in the Philippines. Which is different with the previous studies in Indonesia.

Waste Management Practices

Rapid urbanization and uncontrolled population growth in the city of Akure create a huge generation of municipal solid waste (MSW) and waste management authority has not been able to manage it properly. This has led to inefficient waste collection methods, insufficient coverage of the collection system and improper disposal of solid waste. This paper investigated municipal solid waste management practices in Akure, Ondo State, Nigeria. Simple random sampling was used in selecting 392 respondents within the eight districts in the study area. Information was collected on socio-economic characteristics of the respondents; nature and compositions of municipal solid waste and solid waste management practices in the study area. The study showed that female respondents (58.2%) were more than male (41.8%) in the study area. Also, a larger proportion of the respondents earned above N40,000 per month. More than one-third of the respondents (37.8%) created squander from vegetable and food remains, next to this were plastic (19.1%), paper (8.2%) and metal waste (6.6%). Further findings showed that the majority of the respondents (66%) do not segregate waste before disposal while the wastebasket was commonly preferred to collect waste due to its affordability. The study concluded that despite the establishment of waste management authority, most of the wastes collected was not sorted before disposal while the majority of the respondents preferred to burn their waste. The study recommended that government and non-governmental organizations should pay much attention to the issue of waste management in the area as waste was not properly managed.

One of the most important environmental problems is municipal solid waste management (MSWM) as a result of the rapid rise in waste generation due to industrialization, economic development, urbanization, and rapid population growth in Turkey. The collection, transportation, and disposal of solid waste are conducted by municipal authorities of Turkey. The waste management problem is getting more serious due to some reasons such as lack of enforcement of regulations, weak technical and financial resources, poor infrastructure, insufficient policies and deficiency of political priorities, poor coordination between authorities. Hence, despite the legislation, municipal solid wastes are managed in an unscientific manner by the municipalities. The SWOT analysis is a perfect tool to discover the possibilities and ways for successfully implementing the MSWM. In this study, SWOT analysis carried out both negative and positive concerns of MSWM. A successful strategic management has been identified from the SWOT analysis for the municipal solid wastes. Further, the study proposes options based on SWOT analysis approach to improve in available waste management practices that could also be adopted by other countries to decrease the adverse effect of MSW on human and environment health.

Waste has always been a part of human life settlement and we have been either very careless with our waste by discarding it into the streets, the air, water, and in our backyards, or consciously dumping it close to those least powerful segments of the society at all times. Waste has been a problem for human beings and people have been least concerned about its eco-friendly disposal. Developed countries came up with many programmes, regulations and policies to address the municipal solid waste crisis, but still it is an unresolved problem. Municipal solid waste management is still a complex issue everywhere in the globalized and techno scientific world due to the carefree mindset, rapid urbanization process, unscientific development process and lack of social responsibility. In these circumstances, municipal solid waste managementcannot be addressed by mere technological innovations or adoptions. Moreover, the responsibility of municipal solid waste managementcannot be left to the Government alone. Instead, participation of various stakeholders needs to be ensured and coordinated for achieving sustainability. Taking Thiruvananthapuram Municipal Corporation in the state of Kerala, India as a case, this paper discusses the extent and ways in which various stakeholders engage in the two main approaches for municipal solid waste management, namely- centralized approach and decentralized approach. The research study was conducted during the period June, 2020 to December, 2020.

Extraordinary emerging consumption statistics from the developing Asian countries hasclearly indicated the increase waste generation over the past decades. Most of the developingAsian countries are experiencing solid waste management problem in terms of collectionefficiency, disposal facilities, limited financial resources and weak policy interventions.Unlike developed nations, final disposal of solid waste in developing Asian countries isusually a matter of transporting the collected waste to the nearest available space for disposal.Moreover, sustainability of landfills has become a challenge in Asia due to variousconsiderations such as availability of space, technologies for gas capture and leachatetreatment, tropaical climatic condition and waste characteristics. Plastic and paper wastes aredominating due to rapid economic development. Treating waste as a resource is the first steptowards sustainable waste management and conserving resources. As for the biodegradablewaste, feasible treatment technologies such as composting and anaerobic digestion withattractive results have been established. The non-biodegradable waste fractions are to bemanaged by implementing the 3Rs: Reduce, Reuse and Recycle. This article attempts to givea picture of the ongoing 3R implementation in urban municipal solid waste management inAsian countries. It was observed that in most of Asian countries, informal activities highlydominate due to lack of funding, government initiation, lapse in policy and public ignoranceon waste management issues.

Solid waste management problem has been a subject of great concern in developing nations because it has remained intractable mainly due to absence of quantitative data for its planning and management. This study examines seasonal variation in household solid waste generation in Mubi, Northern Nigeria because households are the main generators of solid waste since the country is not sufficiently industrial. Data was collected through observation and measurement of 603 systematically selected household from 30 wards that make up Mubi metropolis, and data generated was summarized using descriptive statistical measures. Results show that waste generated from households (wet and dry season) are mainly ashes, garbage, rubbish (paper and carton) plastic/polythene bags and metallic materials. The mean waste generation rate of a household is 2.7kg/day in wet season and 3.1kg in dry season. The calculated standard deviation for wet season is 1.6kg/household/day and dry season is 1.4kg/household/day, and the coefficient of variation is 59% and 45% in the same order.The result of the student t-test shows that there is a slight variation in the volume and rate of wastes generated in wet season being less than that of dry season. This variation can be attributed to greater agricultural resource utilization resulting from crop harvest with on-set of the dry season with reciprocal waste generation, as well as the increase in the purchasing power of residents due from proceeds of crop sales at that time among others factors. The study recommends the use of the data base created by Adamawa State Environmental protection Agency (ADSEPA) and private waste management agencies, for effective planning for municipal solid waste management in the area. An increase in the provision of waste collection, storage and disposal facilities particularly in the wet season by waste management agencies should be imminent.
