Abstract:

Human activities create waste, and it is the way these wastes are handled, stored, collected and disposed of, which can pose risks to the environment and to public health. In urban areas, especially in the rapid urbanizing cities of the world, problems and issues of Municipal Solid Waste Management (MSWM) are of immediate importance. This has been acknowledge by most governments, however rapid population growth over-whelms the capacity of most municipal authorities to provide even the most basic services. Typically one to two thirds of the solid waste generated is not collected. As a result, the uncollected waste, which is often also mixed with human and animal excreta, is dumped indiscriminately in the streets and in drains, so contributing to flooding, breeding of insect and rodent vectors and the spread of diseases. Furthermore, even collected waste is often disposed of in uncontrolled dumpsites and/or burnt, polluting water resources and air
