Abstract:

Households in developing countries are the primary waste generators. Therefore, this study aims to identify the composition and factors responsible for household solid waste generation. It also studies the current status of household waste management in India and strategies for waste minimisation and management. Findings revealed that household waste is heterogeneous. The urban household produces substantial amounts of waste, and vegetables and food waste are major components. Family size has either a positive or negative impact on waste generation. A higher-income household with more purchasi

Abstract:

The world's population growth, increasing urbanization and rising standards of living are some of the factors influencing waste generation in Malaysia. A self-administered questionnaire was used to collect primary data of the randomly selected 100 households. These households were provided with five (5)polythene bags to separate their daily wastes during the period of fourteen (14) days. The researcher visits each household in the evening to collect the polythene bags. A sample size, adequate to estimate the value with adequate precision was calculated from three residential neighborhoods (low

Households are the primary source that contributes to the municipal solid waste and thus, it is well justified that they should be targeted in waste recycling policies for the improvement of recycling rates in this nation. Aware of the significant role among the household, Malaysia has taken a series of initiative to improve the national policies for solid waste management to foster waste separation practices among household. These waste management policies focused on waste separation and waste recycling behaviour among households in Malaysia. This is because a well-managed and planned waste p

A survey on household solid waste generation and physical composition was conducted in Hanoi City, the capital of Vietnam. The study sampled 110 households in specific areas with different population density and household scale. Household solid waste was classified into 13 main categories and 25 sub-categories. The results showed that average generation rate of waste in Hanoi City is 0.63 kg per person per day with a slightly higher rate in rural areas than urban ones. The largest proportion was food and garden waste at 78.9% followed by plastic and paper. Plastic waste was segregated into pla

Solid waste management has become a challenge for developing countries mainly because of surging economic activities, rapid urbanisation and rise in community living standards. Many researchers have identified its related problems and have recommended solutions while others have established models to forecast the amount of solid waste generated over a period. However, an efficient and effective management of solid waste requires adequate categorisation of solid waste generation areas to aid in the provision of area-specific or targeted solutions for each categorised area.

Abstract Management of urban solid waste implies the collection, transfer, treatment recycle, reuse and disposal of such waste. Collection of urban household solid waste traditionally rests with government agencies designated with such responsibility. Solid waste collection begins from storage at the household level to the final treatment or disposal point and represents the most important aspect of urban solid waste management. Little has however been written on urban household solid waste collection in Nigeria. Using empirical data from three urban areas of Anambra State, Nigeria, the paper
