“…The findings confirm that there is a miss-match between the generated waste and the capacity to dispose the waste by the MCC. Similar results were reported by Rana et al (2017) in a study conducted in India.…”

“…These findings clearly show that non-availability of vehicles is an impediment to solid waste management at the Municipal Council. Similar findings were reported by Rana et al, (2017) in a study conducted in India found that non-availability of vehicles were the problem in effective solid waste management. Vehicles are very important in waste transportation to the disposition places.…”

“…The findings confirm that there is generation of solid waste in local markets which need attention by the municipals. The study by Rana, Ganguly and Gupta (2017) on "Resources and their influence to solid waste management in India" revealed that towns of India were experiencing insufficient resources for solid waste management including lack of vehicles and trained workforce. The study by Babayemi and Dauda (2009) in Nigeria revealed that lack of funding and laxity in enforcement of sanitation laws affected waste management.…”

Solid waste collection is one of the roles of municipal councils in Tanzania stipulated by the local government Act of 1982. This study empirically examined the capacity of Morogoro Municipal Council in collecting solid waste generated from the two market centers of Mawenzi and Manzese. The study employed case study design and mixed research approaches of qualitative and quantitative. The data collection methods were in-depth interviews and questionnaire. The data obtained in this study were subjected to interpretative and content analysis for qualitative data and descriptive statistics for quantitative data. Findings revealed that the most dominant type of waste generated in the two markets were the biodegradable wastes generated from natural products such as vegetables, fruits and food remains in general. More findings show that the process of solid waste management needed the resources of different types including financial resources, physical resources and human resources. It was found that Morogoro Municipal Council had inadequate resources to manage the amounts of the generated wastes in the two markets. To improve capacity of collecting solid waste in the two markets the study recommends increasing number of staff, vehicles and containers for waste collection, increase budget for solid waste collection and collect the waste frequently according to the accumulation of waste.

“…The aim of this research evaluated the efficiency of the policies and programs implemented in Mexico City in the last decade. Wasteaware indicators selected for the evaluation of the MSWM in Mexico City, because are the most accepted and recognized by government authorities [30] and have applied in megacities with an medium-income level [34][35][36], whereby the current performance of the city's current performance can put into a global context. This research evaluated the efficient waste management in Mexico City during the period 2011-2017, using the Wasteaware benchmark indicators, this period selected because in 2011 the final disposal site at Bordo Poniente was closed (which represented the most significant change in the MSWM in the city) [25].…”

A Study and Factor Identification of Municipal Solid Waste Management in Mexico City

Mexico City generates 12 thousand tons of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) per day, which places it as one of the cities that produces the most MSW in the world. However, the treatments used in the city are not enough for recycling materials and organics valorization of at least 45% of the MSW, which is the minimum for a medium-high-income city. To put in a global context the deficiency in Municipal Solid Waste Management (MSWM) in Mexico City and evaluate the policies that have been implemented thus far, Wasteaware benchmark Indicators for Integrated Sustainable Waste Management (ISWM) were used to obtain a desired profile for the comprehensive MSWM in Mexico City. The Wasteaware Benchmark Indicators have been tested in more than 50 cities around the world. The results showed that in Mexico City, certain aspects of governance present the most considerable delay and, at the same time, that there are certain areas of opportunity to improve the efficiency of MSWM in its physical aspects, such as collection systems or treatment services.

“…It has been reported that 70% of Indian urban population generate about 1,30,000 tonnes/day of MSW with a per capita production rate of 0.5 kg/day with an expected annual rise of about 1.3% per year [1]. Further, reported characterization of MSW in Indian cities indicates about 40-60% of waste content is organic, 30-60% is inert material, 3-6% is paper and rest 1% miscellaneous [2]. About 90% of total waste produced in India is predisposed unsafely and dumped untreated in landfills or open area or is sometime burned in an uncontrolled manner resulting in generation of greenhouse gases [3].…”

The presents study showed the effect of open dumping on soil characteristics and biodegradation settlement analysis of soil in non-engineered landfill. The contaminated soil is referred to as waste soil which has different settlement rates due to the various categories and complex characteristics of waste. The degradation of waste causing percolation of leachate into soil affecting the strength and stability of soil. This paper includes the analysis of geotechnical properties and settlement analysis of waste soil and its comparison was done with natural soil. The geochemical analysis was carried out by Energy Dispersive X- Ray Spectroscopy (EDX) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The elemental analysis of soil exhibited presence of high oxygen and silica content in uncontaminated soil. The analysis depicted that specific gravity, maximum dry density (MDD), permeability and California bearing ratio (CBR) showed decreasing trend variation for polluted soil. It was observed that cohesion for contaminated soil was found to be increased thereby increasing the shear strength of soil. Additionally, temperature, pH and moisture content hold a significant position for assessing the settlement. The settlement of soil due to biodegradation of MSW is estimated using empirical mathematical model for dump site depending upon pH, moisture content and temperature. Additionally, settlement is evaluated keeping in view the settlement due to biodegradation of MSW on soil, which further helped in determination of the suitability of the site for the construction and other recreational purposes.
