Poor Management

The poor management of household waste is responsible for the deterioration of the living conditions and the natural environment in Abidjan. Focusing on the case example of the pollution process of the Marcory- Treichville lagoon bay, this article identifies those responsible for the problem of insalubrity in Abidjan city and proposes palliative strategies. The probabilistic and judgemental methods were used to determine three sampling sites where GIS and other field investigations were conducted. The results of the field investigations show that paper/cardboard (20%), plastics (40%), wastewater and excreta (80%) and household waste (75%) pollute the Ebrié lagoon despite the good eco-citizen’s conscience of 83.1% of households who pay for the services of private pre-collectors; 9.4% prefering the municipal waste collection services. It follows from this that sustainable management based on the Quebec model of integrated waste management (3RV-E) or the creation of landfill sites will contribute to clean Abidjan city.

Waste management raises concerns on environmental degradation and public health issues in the city of Nairobi, Kenya where a big share of the urban population still suffers from lack of adequate waste collection services. Governmental and international efforts have focused on implementing waste operations in middle- and high-income areas that fall short of providing informal settlements with equally efficient facilities (Figure 1). This results in increased rates of urban inequalities as well as places waste issues in the broader framework of environmental injustice and marginalization of the poor. In response to the current gaps, the emergence of spon.

This paper examines whether a causal relationship exists between waste tonnage and employment when the waste collection is entrusted to a private operator in France (i.e. waste management policy by delegation of service). The empirical investigation is based on weekly data for four waste streams for the period from January 2015 to June 2017. Using nonstationary time series techniques including cointegration, VECM (Vector Error Correction Model) and long-run causality test of Toda and Yamamoto (1995) within a bivariate framework, the results demonstrate potential causal negative relationship between waste tonnage and employment. For three waste streams (i.e. household waste, outdoor garbage waste and miscellaneous waste), the results suggest that waste management practices that aim at entrusting the collection and treatment to a private operator (i.e. waste management by delegation of service) are not economically beneficial to society, because this policy does not favor environmental jobs creation. The paper calls for the adoption of other waste management practices to preserve employment in the waste collection sector.

Waste consists of household waste, waste similar to household waste, and specific waste. Waste generated in the campus area is included in household type such as plastic waste, and specific waste especially if it used hazardous materials or contains hazardous and toxic waste in campus laboratories. So that good waste management must be applied to improve the health of the academic civitas and maintain the quality of the campus environment. The aims are to ensure that integrated waste management can be carried out on the University of Muhammadiyah Mataram by minimizing waste and maximizing recycling and composting. Integrated waste management system with the concept of zero waste applies the principle of 3 R (reduce, reuse, recycle), 4R (replace) or 5R (replant). This activity was carried out through counseling on waste management to the campus academic civitas, particularly the Faculty of Health Sciences UMMat. The expected outcomes are the commitment to realize zero waste of the UMMat campus, and participants get a good understanding of plastic waste management as well as raising awareness to sort and dispose of waste in appropriate places of its kind.

Introduction. The problem of solid household waste management, analyzed in the context of sustainable development, is relevant both in Russia and worldwide. On the one hand, it deals with vast legitimate and illegitimate landfills, polluting the environment. On the other hand, it deals with the depletion of natural resources and the potential usability of latent reserves of recyclable waste. It is inefficient to accumulate mixed waste and build recycling capacities, since they are accompanied by atmospheric pollutions. Separate collection of waste has a great potential. According to the estimates, Russia’s waste management system will move to a new level when local waste management companies come into operation. This new level will ensure environmental protection and higher standards of living. However, the intersectoral problem of separate waste collection cannot be solved by local waste management operators. This problem deals with urban development patterns and urban economies of the RF subjects, as well as the Russian industries, that use recyclable materials. Materials and methods. The co-authors have applied the system analysis of the research literature, statistical data and regulatory documents, as well as process modeling. Results. The co-authors have analyzed the engineering model of separate waste collection, implemented by residents of multi-family homes within the framework of the “nature – economic activities – nature” pattern. The accumulation of hazardous and oversized waste is organized as the separate subsystems of the waste management system implemented by the residents of a multi-family home. Conclusions. The co-authors propose to modify the system of household waste management to prevent the over-accumulation of substantial amounts of mixed household waste in waste containers near residential houses and in waste collection rooms. The introduction of ecologically friendly innovations is needed at each stage of the life cycle of any product.

Households play a very important role in waste management policy development and its implementation in any city. This study is done among households of 12 wards in Urban Bengaluru(India). It is observed that waste management is open of the most important issue among households and households in general are not satisfied by waste collection, segregation its transport service and maintenance of public places, provided by local municipal body. Garrett's ranking method is also used to give ranking for various waste management practices adopted by various wards. The results suggest that problems faced by households across the city is not same, also perception towards the policy and practices of local bodies towards waste management differs significantly across the city. Cleanliness of public places and waste collection process should be given highest priority by the policy makers. The study also determines a different perspective towards understanding behaviour of household. the policymakers may use this technique to identify specific geographic areas where immediate action is required

Like the other Moroccan territories, Khenifra region faces many problems in household waste management, due to produced waste quantities, the insufficient infrastructure and the low level of environmental education. Khenifra region contain a diversified and fragile natural environment. In this work, we used the social approach that aims to diagnose the current state of waste management in the study area and in order to propose appropriate solutions for a successful management, as results, the existence of several deficiencies and constraints in the daily operations of collection and landfilling. Surveys and field visits have been carried out showed that the human and material resources used in the west management operation are not sufficient and not respect the environmental conditions. Facing these constraints require, an effective strategy for management of household waste in this territory has been developed to ensure a better collect and treatment. Thus, our proposed strategy cannot succeed without population involved, it requires collaboration between municipalities, delegated companies and citizens as well.

Waste is defined by OUG no. 195/2005 as a substance or an object the owner discards, intends or is required to discard. [1] Wastes are related to the consumer's lifestyle and mentality. The main purpose of the article is to present creative, practical and aesthetic ideas on the reuse of household waste generated in households. There are presented statistical data taken from the Annual Environmental Reports, by ANM, the quantities of household waste generated in the last years and the degree of waste collection in Romania. In Romania most of the waste is eliminated through storage, so the most favorable actions for a proper waste management are prevention and reuse. The paper deals with the problem of dry solid waste: plastics, glass and metals waste.

The ineffective management of household solid waste (HSW) in most developing cities in Africa including Monrovia has become a major issue threatening the environment and public health. In response to these waste challenges, developed countries have embarked upon major environmental reforms, and have made advances in best practices and sustainable management of their Municipal Solid Waste (MSW). However, in most developing countries like Liberia, such environmental reforms have not been initiated and therefore the situation has become compounded; this is due to several factors impeding the development of a sustainable municipal solid waste system. This study, therefore, aims to critically analyze the influencing factors of solid waste management; the characteristics of household waste and suggest management solutions for effective and sustainable management.<br/> Results from the analysis of data, using The Ordinary Least Square Regression (OLS) method estimates the average household waste per capita generation as 0.76kg/capita/day. Regarding the composition of the waste stream, the results show that 67% of the waste sampled from Monrovia is biodegradable and mostly comprised of high wet weight and high moisture content kitchen waste. On the other hand, the remaining percentage is mostly non-degradable but recyclable materials such as glass ceramics and metals. This suggests that due to the high moisture content in the waste, samples are suitable for composting and other mechanical and biological management options. Using the stratified sampling method, 300 households were chosen. Multiple regressions were conducted to determine the relationship between waste generation and socio-economic factors and these showed that the effect of income, household size and the environmental concern on HSW generation is statistically significant at a 1% significance. However, further findings revealed a negative relationship between income and HSW generation at a 1% level of significance. These findings provide new insight regarding the role of socio-economic characteristics affecting the generation of household waste in Monrovia.

The objective of this study is to analyze the perception of Comorian citizens facing the situation of solid waste management (SWM). For this, a qualitative and quantitative approach is conducted on a sample of 300 households. The study shows that 61.1% of households freely dispose a waste on sensitive sites, 19.7% bring waste to collection points and 18.6% benefit from door-to-door. Moreover, 63% of households prefer door-to-door as a means of waste disposal compared to 19.5% who prefer voluntary intake and 17.5% prefer free evacuation. Home sorting concerns only 19.3% of households compared with 80.7% whose dispose mixed waste. Households that are aware of the negative impact of waste on health are 87.5%, against 5%, are unconscious and 7.5% remain without opinion. The study also shows that 40% of households are aware of the negative impact of waste on the environment, against 33% of non-conscious and 27% of non-opinion. The majority of households (58%) are unsatisfied of waste collection services schedules. However, 93.3% of households approve actions carried out by NGO and association. A financial contribution for waste management system improvement of 0.54 USD and 1.08 USD per month was approved by 67% of households.
