Full textAbstract:
Policy implementation of solid waste management is a part of public policy to implement in order to create a safe, sound environment and public space for the people. Bekasi Regency government contributes to solid waste management in their region that they assign the Environmental Office to hold the main role in implementing the policy. Thus, this study sought to profoundly describe the policy implementation of solid waste management by the Environmental Office of Bekasi Regency. This study used qualitative approach with “single instrumental case study” strategy by selecting a relevant case and focusing on the given phenomena and problems. The results show that policy implementation of solid waste management by the Environmental Office of Bekasi Regency has not been optimized due to the limited capacity of the Office in providing resources and budgets, creating new innovations, and influencing people’s mindset. However, it can be said that Environmental Office has been good enough in making policies and efforts for solid waste management since they have been sinergyzed with those of the above level.

Full textAbstract:
This study aimed to examine the impact of poor solid waste management on student’s health care at Gondar University of “Tewodros” campus. The study used a mixed-method approach. To recruit sample respondents', both probability and non-probability sampling methods have been employed. In the meantime, the study revealed the sources of solid waste, it is understood that the poorly collected and managed solid wastes of the study area due to the lack of necessary materials and facilities of waste collection, lack of laborers engaged in street sweeping and daily removal of solid waste is now becoming the major causes of environmental problems such as surface and groundwater pollution problems. Besides, the student’s health office personnel in the interview approached the general health status of the students on the campus during this year. Accordingly, dysentery, common cold, and typhoid are the most frequently appear disease on the Tewodros campus. Therefore, there should be a “students committee “at the campus level to control illegal dumping and to develop practice and habits of poor waste handling and disposal in the community, and there must be apparent regulation and policy frameworks that prohibit poor waste management.

Full textAbstract:
In most developing countries, solid waste components are generally commingled. Sorting of solid waste is one of the most important activities in the material recovering process of the integrated solid waste management system. If solid waste is sorted, about 30% of the work is done. Several methods exist for sorting comingled solid waste. The work presented in this paper involved the study of solid waste source sorting alternatives in Nigerian Universities. A site-specific study was carried out to characterize the solid waste generated in the University of Benin. Alternative concepts for sorting of solid waste were considered and evaluated. Source sorting was then selected for this study. The study revealed that about 14.56% of biodegradables, 42.26% of plastics, 39.62% of paper waste and 3.56% of metal waste are generated in the office and classroom areas of University of Benin. The study also showed that there is poor attitude to solid waste issues as the maximum cooperation realized on source sorting of solid waste was only about 50% for the waste-bin designated for plastic. The results obtained from the study also indicated that intensive sensitization of the generators on the benefits of source sorting is required for effective source sorting.

Full textAbstract:
Due to the rapid and immense quantities of solid wastes products in our city, municipality and urban areas have been increasing day by day due to developments of new Industries. As a result of increasing number of Industries a huge amount of wastes is produced daily in all developing nations and Ethiopia being among them and has surpassed the USA as the world’s largest solid waste (SWM) generator since 2004. The phenomena and critical issues of SW in Ethiopia has inspired this paper to investigate and analyze the SW in an urban area of Ethiopia by comparing the increasing rates of the SW generation with Solid Waste Management (SWM). It is noted that very little effort is being made in handling Solid waste management (SWM) which is one of the public service areas where effectiveness can be easily be gauged, and should not be regarded as a matter of luxury. Addis Ababa in general faces problems which are associated with poor SWM. This study deals with the assessment of Governance in SWM in Addis Sub city. Therefore governance is used as a framework for the study because currently it dominates development discourse and governance policies are implemented by governments aiming at improving urban services such as SWM. The paper has employed both qualitative and quantitative approach with descriptive types of research. Quantitative data was analyzed using statistical tools whereas qualitative data was analyzed in narrative explanation and discussion. The main findings revealed in the paper are: containers are not properly emptied on time, insufficient of support from SWM office, due to the absence of processing and recovery system by MSEs, lack of awareness and poor public attitude towards solid waste management, weak monitoring and evaluation system.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/ijssm.v2i2.12468 Int.

Purpose Municipal solid waste (MSW) consists mainly of several recyclable materials such as paper and cardboard. Inside the educational institutes, especially universities, MSW is generated from several facilities including offices and cafeterias. Without an effective management program, solid waste can have detrimental impacts on the environment. This paper aims to assess the solid waste management practices followed at the main campus of Imam Abdulrahman Bin Faisal University (IAU), Dammam – Saudi Arabia. Design/methodology/approach The MSW samples were collected from different sources inside the IAU campus such as the college buildings (such as the teaching rooms and staff offices), the administrative buildings and services buildings (e.g. the main library, the photocopying center, the restaurant and cafeteria) at least one time per week during a full academic term (January–May) of the academic year 2017–2018. The collected MSW samples were segregated into seven categories, and the net amount of each category and the overall weight of the MSW were determined once every week. The MSW samples were characterized for physical and chemical properties including moisture, carbon and ash contents. Food product waste (FPW) of the main university restaurant was studied separately. Findings Data on the composition of MSW samples revealed that 80% of wastes were recyclable, 19% as compostable materials, while only 1% of the materials were a non-recyclable waste. More than 73% of the recyclable materials include paper and plastic warranting dire need of an effective solid waste management program. The highest value of FPW was recorded for the breakfast meal. Originality/value Most of the waste generated from the university campus was recyclable type that needs to be handled carefully to avoid its mixing with other types of the waste stream. Waste characterization is an important tool that helps in understanding the amount and pattern of waste generation. It can be used as a decision-making tool for implementing sustainable waste management programs for universities.

Karachi is the largest metropolitan city of Pakistan with a population of 207,774,520 (Statistics, 2017).Ironically, a megacity of a developing state has its drawbacks and discrepancies in solid waste mechanism being one ofthem. Karachi has always been the center of businesses and government offices since independence, first as capital ofPakistan and later as a provincial capital. This study evaluates the importance of solid waste management for an urbancity such as Karachi, and the steps which have been taken by the successive governments to fulfill the demands of thisgrowing megapolis since independence. In this study, models of solid waste management adopted by different citieswill be analyzed and a suitable model for Karachi will be proposed. Needless to say, Karachi has the potential tobecome an eco-friendly city by adopting the public private partnership. In short, the civil society’s role is of paramountimportance.

Full textAbstract:
Knowing the quantity and the composition of waste is essential to designing and delivering sound waste management policies and waste management systems. Bhutan’s 12th Five-Year Development Plan emphasizes effective waste management as one of its key performance indicators and globally, the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development emphasizes the importance of waste in two of its seventeen Sustainable Development Goals. In 2019, the Bhutan National Statistics Bureau undertook its first ever survey of solid waste management. The survey covered waste generating sectors including households, commercial units, institutes, health centers, industries, Government offices and vegetable markets. Results show Bhutan generated more than 170 metric tons of waste daily – equivalent to 170,000 kilograms of sugar. More than 50 percent of solid wastes came from households, almost 50 percent was food waste, and around 50 percent was potentially recyclable. The survey posed many challenges for Bhutan, a land-locked least developed country in the Eastern Himalayas in South Asia, yet provided the opportunity to strengthen stakeholder engagement in the Bhutan National Statistical System and delivered statistics which meet a practical use for Bhutan and its people.

Full textAbstract:
Bhaktapur Municipality has been performing better to keep the city clean. However, scarcity of space for the land filling of the solid waste and proper segregation of waste at the source has been a hurdle for the Municipality. This paper aims to determine solid waste generation rate and to analyze overall situation of solid waste management of Bhaktapur Municipality. However, the data will not represent the seasonal and occasional variations. Additionally, waste from street-sweeping and large-scale institutional and commercial components of the Municipality has not been assessed. Arkin and Colton (1963) was referred for the sample size determination. Sample of 376 households were taken accordingly. Twenty representative samples each for commercial and institutional establishments were selected, and one each for special cases such as hospital, slaughter house and poultry has been assessed. Municipal household waste generation was found to be 0.093kg per capita per day which was chiefly composed of 77% organic, 18% plastic and 3% paper. Organic waste has been a major waste for institutions such as schools whereas at governmental and public offices, paper is the predominantly generated waste. Among commercial establishments, shops and restaurants mostly generate organic waste and that for departmental stores has been paper. Though collection system was found to be satisfactory, treatment and final disposal have been unsustainable. Available treatment facilities have been shut down whereas other infrastructural components have been lacking.
