What are the current challenges of waste management in our towns/municipals/cities today?
What are the possible measures that can be put forward to overcome the above
challenges?
Introduction
Waste management is the collection, transport, processing, recycling or
disposal, managing & monitoring of waste materials.
Town, municipal, city is an urban area that characterized by high levels of
economic development due to economic activities & high population growth.
 Municipal Waste include; household waste, commercial waste, demolition
waste among others.
According to (UNEP, 2005), 2.02 billion tons of municipal solid wastes were
generated worldwide in 2006. The average quantity of municipal waste
generated in Latin America, Asia, & some African countries 400g/cap/day.
This equals approximately 30% to 40% of the daily per capita waste
generated in the United States & in western European countries
Challenges of waste management in urban areas
3
 Inadequate coverage of the population to be served
 Limited use of the recycling activities
 Improper disposal of solid wastes
 The dumped & collected solid wastes are not treated
 Inappropriate timetable for collection of wastes
 High economic costs i.e. labour & transport costs
 Poor administration, procurement & planning
 Poor roads & inadequate transport means
 Ignorance & lack of public awareness by community members
 Health & environment related problems to people in the community
 Accidents & injuries during manual sorting and transporting wastes
 Operational inefficiencies of solid waste services & management
 Technical systems established for waste management are poorly
suited for operational requirements
Pictorials
Measures to overcome above challenges
5
 Energy recovery i.e. converting waste to energy
 Conversion of waste to something different e.g. composting
 Reuse such refilling of soft drink bottles.
 Implementation of environmental policies set by NEMA
 Promoting innovation & technology such as E-waste collection
 Improvement in local government administration & planning
 Massive sensitization of the public through dialogues & campaigns
 Incineration to completely burn the solid wastes to ash
 Controlling the urban population by promoting urban-rural migration
 Mechanizing the waste collection, treatment & distribution process
 Recycling of wastes into other products e.g. recycling sewage into
clean water.
 Integrated Waste management
 Constructing improved drainage channels, waste collection points
& landfills
Conclusion
6
Proper waste management plays a key role in the promotion of
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) especially SDG 11 (Sustainable
Cities and Communities).
Therefore appropriate practice in waste management require a clear
definition of jurisdiction and accountability with all stakeholders
participating in system design.
As Group Three members, we pledge to contribute by directly
participating in activities that drive towards waste management well
as mobilizing other youths to take action
