Abstract:

Household solid waste generation rate in low-income countries is increasing due to population growth and changes in people’s lifestyles. Sorting waste into categories is an important step in household waste management. However, there is limited information about sorting practices in a low-income setting like Ethiopia. Therefore, this study aimed to assess household solid waste (HSW) sorting practices, and factors associated with sorting practices.A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted from April to May 2021 in Bedelle town. Households were randomly selected, and household heads

Abstract:

Household waste comprises of garbage and rubbish from individual home and flats/ apartments. This waste consists of fruits and vegetables, food scrapes, papers, cans and bottles, clothes, chocolate wrappers, shampoo bottles and sachets etc. These are non- hazardous wastes generated by household and can be recycled. Hazardous wastes are those from pest control, home cleaners, batteries, garage oils which have adverse impact on the environment and threatens human life and other living organisms.

Abstract:

Food waste poses a threat to both food security as well as the long-term sustainability of a country’s food system. In South Africa, the expense of post-consumer food waste (mostly from households) is estimated at roughly US$2.7 billion annually, or 0.7% of South Africa's annual GDP. It is unfortunate that so much food is wasted in a country where 26% of people regularly experience hunger and another 28.3% are at risk of becoming hungry at a household level. This study aimed to investigate household food waste practices and behaviours in the KwaDukuza community using a consumer survey. The sur

Pharmaceutical wastes are expected to increase given the increasing population growth rates and rapidly rising economic burden of human diseases. This challenge calls for appropriate measures for the management of such hazardous wastes. The purpose of this survey was to document and investigate existing practices for the handling, storage, and disposal of household pharmaceutical wastes (HPWs) in the Johannesburg area. Primary data were collected via online surveys with self-administered questionnaires completed by respondents. The research found that 77% (n = 286) of respondents claimed some

Abstract:

Household waste and uncontrolled urbanization management are considered major problems in African countries. In the Hodna region, the phenomenon seems to be more important in urban centers because of the huge amount of household waste generated by domestic and commercial activities. In most Algerian cities, solid waste is piled up in huge quantities in dumps and is dumped indiscriminately in waterways and public spaces. Uncontrolled urbanization, industrial development, and the evolution of lifestyle lead to increased production of waste, whereas the waste management techniques used in urban a

Organic waste is both a refuse and a resource. Focusing on household waste in a city in Western Switzerland, this study examines the practices of waste segregation in relation to the city’s (organic) waste management system. Based on qualitative research with diverse households and experts in waste management, we use social practice theory to discuss the meanings and materiality of household organic waste segregation. We show how more or less visible meanings, tied up with material arrangements, can be either enablers or deterrents for such forms of waste management. The article argues that ce
