Abstract This thesis aimed at assessment of current municipal solid waste management practices and problems with particular emphasis to storage practices and container location in Nefas-silk lafto sub-city. Besides, the study had also specific objectives such as the existing status and spatial coverage of municipal solid waste management, the solid waste storage practices at household level and the locations of solid waste storage containers (skip points) in terms of accessibility and health threat to the community of Nifas-silk lafto sub-city in line with Ethiopian National Solid Waste Management Standards and other relevant international standards. The researcher used mixing quantitative and qualitative methods, and to select the target population systematic random sampling was employed. A total of 201 respondents were used in the study. Consequently, to accomplish the objectives, both primary and secondary data sources were used. The primary data were collected via questionnaires, interviews, and field observations. Whereas the secondary data were extracted from different published and unpublished materials. The findings of the study revealed that the current municipal solid waste management service in the sub-city is provided below the required quality or has a poor status in terms of usage of containers and its spatial coverage. According to the survey results, lack of institutional coordination among urban planners, the place of skip points were highly exposed to health threat, lack of standard household waste storage bins for the purpose of segregation of waste for each type at household level, lack of awareness raising and community participation priority for locating a skip point, and very weak enforcement of rules and regulation, standards and proclamation are some of the problems that account for poor municipal solid waste management service delivery in the sub-city. Finally, the study mainly suggest that, such measures alleviate the problems of municipal solid waste management: by creating driving motives into the community to use integrated sustainable solid waste management strategies by promoting public-private partnership, and creating effective institutional coordination with urban planner consultants in the area of municipal solid waste management in general and skip point location in particular.

ABSTRACT Solid waste, which is a consequence of day-to-day activity of human kind, needs to be managed properly. Jigjiga City, like other cities in developing countries, faces problems associated with poorly managed solid waste operation. This study concerns about analysis of the city’s current municipal solid waste management problems, pportunities and existing solid waste management practices and role of community participation. The survey was conducted in 03 and 05 kebeles. Different sampling methods were employed to select the study units including: stratified sampling, systematic random sampling, and purposive sampling. Though the bulk of the data collected were qualitative in nature, it was also supported by quantitative information collected through survey and secondary sources. The study discovered that there is low erformance of SWM in the city mainly due to: lack of properly designed collection system and time schedule, inadequate and malfunctioning operation equipment, open burning of refuse, poor condition of the final dumpsite and less awareness creation among community which encouraged illegal dumping are the technical problem identified. Insufficient funds as well as lack of promotion on-waste reduction, recycling, absence of waste recovery, practice of energy option, waste separation and composting are among the management challenges facing the city. Social problems encountered include: lack of public awareness, unwillingness to pay, ill dumping manner (often around residence and any open spaces) and improper outlook for waste workers. Incompetence of organizations in terms of equipment required for operation and man power /staff qualifications, training and human resource developments and/or unreliable service are the institutional challenge that the city encountered in the sector. Finally, the study forwarded some important recommendations towards improving the waste management practices.

ABSTRACT The study was conducted to assess the management of Municipal solid waste management practices using a case study of Fitche town, Ethiopia. Three specific objectives guided this study and these include establishing the status of the existing solid waste collection, transportation and disposal practices in Fitche town and capital town of Salale zone; to examine magnitude solid waste management problems and to design strategies to overcome waste management challenges in Fitche Town. Fitche is one of the town by which proper provision of Municipal solid waste management practice is still unsatisfactory and in complete. In Fitche, illegal dumping of waste on open areas, street, ditches and river courses is considered as routine task of residents. The efforts made by the municipality to change the situation in the town are also insufficient as it compared to the extent of the problem A case study of research design was used for this study in which a total of 60 respondents informed this study. These were reached through Cochran techniques of sampling for minimize the population. Observation, questionnaires and interviews were used during the collection of primary data. Data was analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively. According to the findings of the study, people in Fitche town use different methods in collection of solid waste, transport it and later dispose at recognized site. It was found that solid waste management is the work of small group under the authority of the municipality. It established that materials such as sacks are used in the due course to collect solid waste. The study concludes that the management and collection of solid waste is never a duty of neither one man’s person nor one organization: rather all groups and individuals at hand. Therefore, there is a need for all people to work for the clean environment and a better life at hand. The study also calls different groups and organizations to apply modern techniques for the collection, transportation and disposing of solid waste in Fitche Town, Salale. Key words: households’ solid waste collection, transportation of solid waste, solid waste management.

Solid waste management is the collection, transfer and disposal of all non –liquid and nongaseous solid materials from residential, commercial, institutional, construction and demolishing and street sweeping. It is a consequence of day-today activity of human kinds that needs to be managed properly. Burao city faces a lot of problems associated with a poorly managed solid waste systems. However, this study examined challenges facing the SWM in Burao city and factors influencing its effectiveness. The case study of Burao Municipality. Moreover, challenges were conceptualized as financial, institutional, technical, social and political aspects guided by contingency theory. Solid waste management effectiveness was described in collection, transportation and disposal. The purpose of this study was to examine the challenges of solid waste management and factors influencing its effectiveness: A case study in Burao Municipality Somaliland. By using census survey research study, the total participant of the research were 152 respondents. The data was collected in May-July 2019 and was analyzed using SPSS Version 21 and SmartPLS3. Using correlations The study established that financial constraint has a significant effect on collection and transportation where p=.000 but does not have any significant effect on disposal where p=.433. Technical aspect have a significant effect on collection, transportation and disposal where p value p=.000. Institutional aspect have a significant effect on collection, transportation and disposal where p-value p=.000. The social aspect has a significant effect on collection, transportation and disposal where p-value p=0.01.

Municipal solid waste management is an important component of urban services that is often handled by local governments. Addis Ababa, the capital city of Ethiopia faces rapid urbanization leading to overcrowding and the development of shantytowns and poor neighborhoods. The general aim of this study was to appraise the present dry waste service provision of Addis Ababa. This study used an integrative literature review method with critical analysis to investigate the current solid waste management status in Addis Ababa. The results of this study show that the delivery of the service does not keep pace with the city's solid waste generation and the city's municipal disposal of solid waste is found in actual, low status and spatial coverage. This humble status of city garbage management is also heightened by three critical factors, i.e. poor institutional structure, inadequate disposal site and transfer station, and poor households' solid waste handling practices. Besides, the city households dominantly created decomposable solid wastes (60%) through generation amount of 0.45 kg/person/day and the main source are residential wastes, which account for 76% of the total waste. The sudy concluded that, the main problem with the incompetence of this sector in the city was the lack of trained labor and inadequate service delivery. In order to improve the status, there should be awareness creation, improvement of the city government, and implementation of an incorporated method to the management of metropolitan solid waste that respects and involves all stakeholders in the metropolis.

International Exhibition for Waste Management, Recycling, Renewable Energy and Environmental Technologies
Dates: Tuesday, June 6, 2017 - Thursday, June 8, 2017
Venue: Crocus Expo, ,
| |

WasteTech (Waste and environmental Technology trade show) exhibition and congress has become well-known to everyone engaged in waste treatment, environmental protection and renewable energy both in Russia and worldwide, especially in CIS and Baltic countries. The first show WasteTech that was held in Moscow in September 1999 had just 340 sq. m of exhibition space with 40 exhibitors. At the very beginning WasteTech was focused exclusively on solid waste issues. The forthcoming show will cover the full range of topics: waste management and recycling, wastewater treatment, renewable energy, air quality, reclamation of contaminated sites, industrial cleaning, improvement of territories, labor safety. As a result, WasteTech exhibition and congress has become the main forum for waste management, recycling, renewable energy and environmental technologies in Russia and CIS.

Texas resident used Apple AirTags to discover plastics taken to Houston recycling centers aren't being recycled Recyclable trash is just being dumped in a private open lot. Houston resident Brandy Deason put an Apple AirTag in her recycling to see where her plastic trash was going. While many might expect the city would drop the recyclables off at a recycling center, Deason instead found her trash sitting in an open-air lot alongside millions of other pieces of trash at Wright Waste Management (WWM). Wright Waste Management did not allow CBS News to enter and inspect its premises. Still, the news team's drone camera discovered that all the trash picked up from the Houston Recycling Collaboration (HRC) was apparently just sitting there on its premises, stacked more than 10 feet high. This came as a shock, as the HRC was meant to revolutionize the city’s recycling program, allowing it to process all kinds of plastic. Instead, we see all the collected waste sitting idle in open-air lots waiting for the right technology to appear. That’s because Cyclix International, one of the partners in the HRC, has yet to open its massive factory to scale up its plastic recycling operation. The company said that it recycles all kinds of plastic and has even already set aside a sprawling space big enough to accommodate nine football fields. However, the current facility is just an empty husk without a single piece of machinery in sight. The company says that it needs a huge stock of plastics for processing when it starts operation, that’s why it’s letting all the trash pile up in the WWM’s compound. But given that its operational timeline expects the processing plant to open eight to nine months from now, it means that the company will likely amass more trash before it can even open its doors, especially as the HRC program is expanding into more areas in Houston. So, unless Cyclix and WWM have other areas to hold its plastic waste, the facility that CBS News saw would likely be filled to the brim in the next few months. One more issue that many environmental advocates raise is that the advanced recycling technology that Exxon claims to have made for recycling all kinds of plastic isn’t exactly effective. What the plastic recycling plant does is shred the trash to be recycled into tiny identical pellets, melt them at high heat, and then remold them for reuse. As for plastics that cannot be recycled like that, Exxon will superheat and then chemically treat the plastics for recycling to turn them into new plastic products or fuel. While this may sound like a viable solution to our plastic problem, it exacerbates the problem, as these processes have highly toxic fumes contributing to air pollution. They would also likely demand a lot of fossil fuels to superheat the recyclables, which adds more greenhouse gas emissions. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) says that converting “solid waste to fuels, fuel ingredients, or energy” is not recycling. This isn’t the first instance of the unusual use of AirTags. Many people have already used them to track their luggage when they’re flying (especially internationally), hiding a tag in their bags to make recovery easier in case of theft, or even tagging family members with dementia. However, the one thing Apple likely didn’t think the AirTag would be used for is to track trash. Stay On the Cutting Edge: Get the Tom's Hardware Newsletter Get Tom's Hardware's best news and in-depth reviews, straight to your inbox. Whatever the case, this innovative use of Apple’s popular tracking device has helped forward the investigation, allowing Houston residents to see where their recyclables are going. So, thanks to Apple AirTags, we’ve discovered the plastic trash slated for recycling is just piling up while the processing facility is waiting for its machinery to arrive.

It's one of the biggest scams that the plastics industry (big oil) sold to the public. They were fully aware that plastic recycling wasn't feasible back in the 70's, and it still isn't feasible in the 20's. They made us, the public, believe that the responsibility is on us, "to do our part", instead of the company making the offending product. Reply Findecanor This is plastics recycling in the US. Specifically, this is plastics recycling in Texas. I don't have much faith in the US, and especially in Texas caring much for the environment at all. Don't lump all recyclers together. Just because there are bad actors in the US (exactly as predicted) there are not bad actors everywhere, and it does not prove in any way that plastics recycling couldn't work.

We always get these messages from the government and the politicians to do our part and recycle, and they setup these programs and initiatives for recycling. I remember seeing them as a kid. "It's the three R's!" I always felt recycling was just something they wanted us to do as a form of "busywork" to waste our time in our garages so we couldn't look at how badly they're legislating and squandering tax dollars. Next thing you know the people who have been in office for the last 30 years are going to campaign on "we're going to fix this" if you just elect us meanwhile they've been in office for the last 30 years. You're the guys who did this. Why aren't you fixing it right now and why didn't you fix it a decade ago? You do not get to campaign as if you are entirely disconnected from the office you are currently elected to. Reply OnlyWohanWay How can you track recycling with an Apple Air tag. Apple Air tag is not a recyclable plastic. If the recycling is done properly, the air tag is going to get removed. This test can't prove anything. Reply zrobalance The point of her "test" and the story was that her tag ended up in a storage lot rather than a recycling center. I was shocked to see that people still think recycling is happening in their area. Most waste in "recycling" bins ends up in landfills in the U,S. Reply Giroro "Exxon will superheat and then chemically treat the plastics for recycling to turn them into new plastic products or fuel." At least Exxon understands that plastic is essentially a hydrocarbon, and burning it to generate power usually makes a lot more sense than most other options. Although Exxon should not be trying to trick people into thinking that energy-recovery incineration is some kind of new advanced recycling, because it's not. Still it's a much better option than just pulling out the metal and dumping the plastic in the ocean, which is what was happening when we were paying companies promising to recycle it overseas. Reply The Historical Fidelity said: Hahaha and don’t lump all of Texas into that. I live in Irving that is one of the only cities in the country that has its own dedicated recycling facility (1) and we are planning to expand the size to allow other cities in Texas to send their recycling to us. And the Houston project is not an actual recycling facility. It is a prototype part of the pre-processing plan for Irving’s recycling facility aimed to find a way to treat type 4 plastics as well as plastic containers that contained hazardous chemicals like motor oil, pesticides, etc. to allow them to be processed at the Irving facility. This is why they are saying they need enough stockpiled material to experiment and hone in on the best industrial scale process. But like all things media these days, it’s less “reporting” and more “sensationalizing” https://corporate.exxonmobil.com/news/news-releases/2022/1214_exxonmobil-starts-operations-at-large-scale-advanced-recycling-facility bill001g Even if had been taken to one of the so called recycle places most times they run it though a big tromel that gets rid of small things like bottle caps and other stuff that would jamb the machines up. The airtag would fall out the bottom and be dumped into a trash bin and likely taken to the land fill. Unless you could track the airtag all the way people would assume it was taken directly to the land fill.
