“…The influence of income (X 2 ) is insignificantly positive. The high-income generation of HH_UCV would result in illegal dumping, similarly to a study by Šedová (2016). Age (X 1 ) and gender (X 3 ) are negatively insignificant so that the young and male respondents seem to perform the dumping.…”

“…The positive estimated WGR is expected as the large waste-generating households seem to practice the illegal dumping. It is the same as in Slovakia, where Šedová (2016) indicated a positive relationship between the two variables. The satisfaction with collection frequency (X 8 ) is insignificantly negative, so the illegal dumping would happen if the collection frequency is dissatisfactory.…”

“…We created the dependent variables of KAP that seemed interrelated, including knowledge about waste problems, satisfaction with SWM status of HH_NCV and with service quality of HH_UCV, and the practice of illegal dumping. The independent variables, on the other hand, comprised the socio-economic status and other assumingly related factors (Adogu et al, 2015; Matsumoto and Takeuchi, 2011; Murad and Siwar, 2007; Šedová, 2016). The influences of age, income, gender, education level, relevant knowledge, the satisfaction with the SWM service, estimated WGR, and residential location on KAP were expected.…”

“…The other factors might have influenced how communities handle the waste. Šedová (2016) presented positive impacts of high education and income level, and high generation rate of garbage on the illegal dumping. Matsumoto and Takeuchi (2011) found significantly negative influences of low income and inexistence of public collection on dumping of electrical appliances.…”

Households’ knowledge, attitudes, and practices toward solid waste management in suburbs of Phnom Penh, Cambodia

This study developed logistic regression models to analyse the relationship between 12 observed variables on knowledge, attitudes, and practices toward solid waste management in the suburbs of Phnom Penh city. We interviewed 800 households, including 200 collection service users and 600 non-service users. The determinants of how individuals are aware of, think of, and behave were assessed in the models based on the values of estimated coefficient and probability of t-statistics. As a result, education level and knowledge of health effects have positive influences on knowledge of waste problems. Income is a decisive economic factor of knowledge and attitudes. The residents seem dissatisfied with the status of waste management and collection service if they are aware of the problems. The administration, therefore, needs improvements to satisfy the knowledgeable citizens. Service provision to the non-service users is imperative to halt the practice of illegal dumping. However, the infrequent collection still leads to the improper practice of the service users. We suggest that the service is provided widely, efficiently, and regularly.

“…Illegal waste dumping of solid waste raises many problems even in developed countries [4,5], transition economies [6,7], or developing countries, where rural areas are frequently exposed to such environmental threats [8]. The increasing amounts of waste generated across the globe raise more difficulties in dealing with proper waste management activities at the regional and local scale involving urban or rural municipalities [9,10].…”

Role of Waste Collection Efficiency in Providing a Cleaner Rural Environment

The exposure of rural communities to illegal waste dumping practices associated with the lack of or poor waste collection schemes prior to the closure of rural dumpsites under EU regulations and the role of collection efficiency afterward in reducing this critical environmental threat constitutes a key issue in rural Romania. The present study reveals huge amounts of household uncollected waste released into the natural environment outside the official statistics of rural dumpsites. Despite the expansion of waste collection coverage towards rural areas since 2010, the problem of illegal dumping practice is difficult to solve. The improvement of collection efficiency, better law enforcement, and surveillance of environmental authorities coupled with educational and environmental awareness are necessary steps to combat this bad practice. A circular economy paradigm must be enacted in rural regions through separate collection schemes and to improve cost-efficient alternatives, such as home composting, and traditional and creative reuse practices, particularly in less developed regions.

Growing populations and consumption drive the challenges of solid waste management (SWM); globalization of transport, food production, and trade, including waste trading, distributes risks worldwide. Using waste hierarchy (WH; reduce, reuse, and recycle) and circular economy (CE) concepts, we updated a conceptual waste framework used by international organizations to evaluate SWM practices. We identified the key steps and the important factors, as well as stakeholders, which are essential features for effective SWM. Within this updated conceptual framework, we qualitatively evaluated global SWM strategies and practices, identifying opportunities, barriers, and best practices. We find that, although a few exceptional countries exhibit zero‐waste compliance, most fare poorly, as exhibited by the high waste generation, incineration, and disposal (open dumping, landfilling) volumes. In the Global North, SWM strategies and practices rely heavily on technologies, economic tools, regulatory frameworks, education, and social engagement to raise stakeholder awareness and enhance inclusion and participation; in the Global South, however, many governments take sole legal responsibility for SWM, seeking to eliminate waste as a public “nuisance.” Separation and recycling in the Global South are implemented mainly by “informal” economies in which subsistence needs drive recyclable material retrieval. Imported, regionally inappropriate tools, economic constraints, weak policies and governance, waste trading, noninclusive stakeholder participation, data limitations, and limited public awareness continue to pose major waste and environmental management challenges across nations. In the context of the framework, we conclude that best practices from around the world can be used to guide decision‐making, globally. Despite variations in drivers and needs across regions, nations in both the Global North and South need to improve WH and CE compliance, and enhance stakeholder partnership, awareness, and participation throughout the SWM process. Partnerships between the Global North and South could better manage traded wastes, reduce adverse impacts, and enhance global environmental sustainability and equity, supporting UN Sustainable Development Goals.
