Municipal Waste Management

<p>Implementing a structured municipal waste management system in urban spatial context revolves around integrated municipal solid waste system (IMSWM) that comprised all major actions in waste management. The institutional structure of IMSWM entails a much wider scope of responsibility that marked a departure from the traditional municipal waste management system that seeks to reduce risk to public health by removing waste from homes and cities to the landfill. Integrated waste management incorporates, in addition to reducing risk to public health and the environment, resource conservation and material recovery that promotes social inclusiveness and urban sustainability. The economic implication of implementing a balanced structured MSMW is enormous; not only in terms of financial burdens on the government but also the revenue it generates for local economy and its macroeconomic effects. This study makes use of secondary data and compares municipal waste management systems operated in three developing countries by looking at MWM strategy that optimizes economic efficiency and promotes sustainable development in urban cities that can be applicable to other developing countries.</p>

It is important to study theoretical and practical significance on strategic environmental assessment of municipal waste management system. This paper analyzes the research situation of strategic environmental assessment in China and put forward the theoretical basis of strategic environmental assessment on municipal waste management system, including strategic theory, low-carbon theory, cyclic economy theory and sustainable development theory. In the theoretical views, strategic environmental assessment of municipal waste management policies, plans and programs system can be studied for a better and More sustainable management mode of household waste. At the same time, the article gives a research frame of strategic environmental assessment on municipal waste management system in China.

The aim of this article is to identify the processes involved in the management of municipal waste in communes and to determine their cost-intensity. The research was carried out on 40 randomly selected communes of the Podlaskie voivodeship, which ensure the representativeness for this region. The following research methods were used: studies of the literature on the subject, analysis of national and local legal acts, and analysis of reports on the implementation of the budget for 2019. In addition, the multiple regression method was used to determine the level of influence of the explanatory variables (costs attributed to the processes of the municipal waste management system) on the explained variable (total costs of the municipal waste management system). The research shows that in a process approach, this system includes seven processes: establishing the legal framework for the system’s operation; providing the technical infrastructure; determining the method of financing the service; selecting the service contractor; collecting and transporting municipal waste; managing municipal waste; as well as controlling and monitoring the system. The analysis of the budget execution reports of 40 communes in the Podlaskie voivodeship shows that the municipal waste management systems generating the highest costs are in municipalities and cities with poviat rights and the lowest in rural communes, while the highest level of costs per capita are in urban-rural communes. Moreover, a multiple regression analysis determined that processes 5 and 6 – collection and transport of municipal waste – as well as its management, are the most cost-intensive and also determine the total system costs.

A consequence of the high concentrations of the population in big cities is the growth in the amount of municipal waste generated. This has resulted in an accelerating need for developing as efficient a municipal waste management system as possible on a local level, based on legal requirements and the rules of good conduct within this field. The city of Belgrade is used as a case study for analyzing the existing problem of waste management (based on the Waste Management Plan), system elements and operational performances (special waste disposal), and the possibilities for improving the system by contemporary technical and managerial solutions. This is especially analyzed on the basis of provisions and obligations stipulated in the recently signed PPP contract on public-private partnership (PPP). In this paper, the author discusses possible comprehensive improvements of the municipal waste management system based on the obligations of the signatories of the said contract.
