The National Solid Waste Policy (PNRS) proposes the practice of sustainable consumption patterns. One of the most important instruments of this policy is the concept of shared responsibility for the lifecycle of products. The State of Solid Waste/RS Policy sets forth the principles, objectives, instruments and guidelines for the integrated management and solid waste management, the responsibilities of producers and the government and to apply economic instruments. As the state of preparation of Municipal Plans for Integrated Management of Solid Waste (PMGIRS / RS) more than half of the municipalities have drawn up their plans. The objective was to analyze the knowledge and perception of the people and institutions in the city of São Gabriel, RS, for adherence to the PNRS. Data collection was conducted in four districts of the city: New Town, Vila Mariana, Independence and Center. In each neighborhood type semi-structured questionnaire instruments were applied. A second instrument was applied with nine (9) institutions. The results showed the importance of proper disposal of municipal solid waste. Negligence in the integrated management of solid waste added to the neglect of people and institutions bring social, economic and environmental consequences extremely negative to the municipality.

Solid waste management is considered a pressing global issue calling for an immediate response from the government and its people. The Philippines has a continuously rising amount of waste and is expected to further increase in the succeeding years. As reviewed, associated problems with solid waste management in the country include an increasing amount of solid waste, weak law implementation, scarcity of sanitary landfills, and improper disposal. The ultimate solution existing in the country is the RA 9003 or the Ecological Solid Waste Management Act of 2000 which highlights the practices of segregation, proper disposal, and waste diversion. The importance of envisioning a trash-free Philippines and encouraging people’s participation and awareness is also emphasized. Another possible solution to solid waste management is valorization which can also address other environmental problems such as the depletion of natural resources. These solutions enumerated will only be possible with the presence of good governance, active participation of the people of the country, and the cooperation of all constituents and agencies in the Philippines.

Solid waste management has been part of human activities right from time. Effort by the Oyo State Government in managing the collection and disposal of waste generated in Ibadan is seen in the provision of Skip bins at specific locations across the city. However, despite the provisions made by the government, an emerging trend is the dumping of refuse along the median of some major and collector roads in the city. This study aims at emphasizing a planning framework for the location of solid waste disposal infrastructure (Skip bins) through the adoption of planning standard. The aim of this study was achieved by identifying the existing skip bins within Ibadan North. More so, a spatial analysis of skip bins and resident's access to solid waste facilities within Ibadan North was deduced. Geospatial techniques were used for this study; data from primary and secondary source were also used to corroborate the geospatial findings. The study identified a total of 37 skip bins located within Ibadan North Local Government, serving the entire Ibadan North. Spatial analysis of the skip bins revealed a clustered distribution which is consequential to indiscriminate solid waste disposal within Ibadan North.   The study recommends adequate provision and location of skip bins to contribute to a cleaner and safer environment and a design blue print for Ibadan North was proposed.Keywords: GIS, Median, Nearest Neighbour Analysis (NNA), Skip Bins

This chapter aims to describe the status and challenges of waste management (WM) in Rwanda. Currently, waste is managed by the Ministry of Local Government, with the participation of private companies which are only in charge of waste collection. In the city of Kigali, waste is managed by the city of Kigali whereas in other four remaining provinces waste is managed by the districts. Implementation of waste management policy is carried out by a government-owned company called Water and Sanitation Corporation (WASAC) Ltd. The per capita solid waste generation rate in the city of Kigali is equal to 0.57 kg/person/day. A lot of legislations and regulations on WM are in place but their enforcement is weak. The Government of Rwanda should do more in terms of enforcing WM legislations and regulations.

Port Harcourt acquired the name “Garden City” for its neatness, beauty, organisation of the buildings and well constructed road networks across the entire city; but this once beautiful city has been overtaken by garbage. Hence, the objectives of this study were to find out why the solid waste management strategies employed by the Rivers State Waste Management Agency  and their contractors are not working and provide best solutions in curbing the challenges militating against solid waste management of the city. Purposive sampling technique was used to determine the sample. Because of the time constraint and the wide area of coverage for this study; 10 areas consisting of 10 communities were selected based on their size, popularity and centrality. Oral interviews and field observation were the methods of data collection and the data obtained through oral interviews were analysed through simple coding, groupings, re-writing, transcribing and interpretations. The results revealed that the solid wastes generated are uncontrolled due to overcrowded settlements; an uncultured way of living of the residents; lack of the needed man-power and technology on the part of the solid waste contractors. It was also revealed that the Government do not carry out proper monitoring and uses unskilled and unqualified persons to carry out their jobs. It was concluded that to adequately clean up the city of Port Harcourt, the Government should stand up to their responsibility of keeping the city clean and sensitize the people on the need to package and dispose of their waste properly.

From the National Solid Waste Policy (PNRS), municipalities have the shared responsibility of certain solid waste, including fluorescent lamps, electronics, batteries and tires. The Reverse Logistics came to pay up the life cycle of materials, making products already used return of the various consumption points to their origin. In step of Reverse Logistics, products undergo a refresher and return to jail until they are finally disposed of correctly, in order to ensure a sustainable recovery for the environment. Faced with the need to implement the Reverse Logistics in municipal public agencies, through this study aimed to conduct a diagnosis of the situation of Reverse Logistics in some municipalities of the campaign and Border West of the state of Rio Grande do Sul region. It can be concluded 60% of the municipalities surveyed already have their Municipal Plan for Solid Waste Integrated Management, but only one municipality considers its efficient Reverse Logistics System. However the 40% that do not have the Municipal Plan for Solid Waste Integrated Management, have at least one reverse logistics system. Thus, it is clear that the government is increasingly concerned about environmental issues in their surroundings.

Waste Separation

Act No. 18 of 2008 on Waste Management mandate that the community or household is the beginning of the stage of waste management processes, which make waste separation. Up to know solid waste management in urban area is still a complex problem, either from social, management, or technology aspects. The other problem of solid waste management is due to the people behaviour, which is mostly still unaware. Community respondents do not wish to waste segregation and argued that the waste separation should be done by the government. Seen thatthe awareness for change in how to manage the waste is still low. Local governments still need to continue to disseminate the Act No. 18 of 2008 on Waste Management and provide motivation to the community or households that are willing to segregation waste at the source.Keywords : waste, waste separation, community perception of waste

The Illinois Constitution of 1870 prohibited the State legislature from enacting local or special laws incorporating cities, towns, or villages, or changing or amending the charter of any town, city, or village. In 1872 an act was passed, providing for the government of all cities in the State of Illinois. In 1875 Chicago abandoned its special charter, and accepted the provisions of the general law of 1872. This law, with a series of amendments, has continued for a generation as the fundamental law of the city of Chicago. The very rapid growth of the city, however, in territory, in population, and in the complexity of its municipal interests has rendered the law of 1872 wholly inadequate for the present needs of the great metropolis. Widespread agitation in regard to this subject led to the initiation, in 1903, of a constitutional amendment authorizing the State legislature to enact special laws regarding the government of Chicago, providing that such laws should not go into effect until approved by the voters of Chicago. This amendment was adopted by the people of Illinois in November, 1904, after a vigorous campaign had been carried on in its favor by the citizens of Chicago. The legislature of 1905 met very shortly after the adoption of this act, so that a complete charter could not be presented to them. A bill providing for a new system of municipal courts, and abolishing the old “justice shops,” was prepared, however, by a citizens' committee; was presented to the legislature, and passed. A committee of the city council also drew up a proposed charter for the city, which was introduced into the State legislature, but of which only a small fragment was finally enacted. The term of the mayor was extended from two years to four; provisions were made enabling the city to secure the interest on its public deposits; and some other minor powers were contained in this rump charter. These acts were voted upon in November, 1905, and approved by the people. So far, however, as comprehensive legislation was concerned, very little had been accomplished, except the establishment of the new courts.

Principally, solid waste management is all activities of solid waste handling, from thepoint sources until the final disposal. Up to know solid waste management in urban areais still a complex problem, either from social, management, and technology aspects.The other problem of solid waste management is due to the people behaviour, whichis mostly still unaware. Social capacity is another word social capital means a socialcondition that a lot of citizens participate the process of decision making or policymaking and cooperation with government. The role of community in this system is onlyin paying the monthly fee. So that people still fully gave the solid waste managementsystem in to the government. There is no indication of solid waste sparation by thepeople them selves.
