“…Basu stated that solid waste could be putrescible and non-putrescible. Similarly, Kaseva & Gupta (1996) noted that solid wastes are waste materials from municipal, industrial and agricultural activities. Tchobanoglous et al (1993) concluded that unlike other wastes, solid wastes do not disappear easily.…”

“…They argued that being the waste stream that people often come in contact with, their collection, treatment and disposal is considered as an important service by politicians and local government. Kaseva & Gupta (1996) describe municipal solid waste as the waste collected by the city authorities which include refuse from household, non-hazardous solids from industrial, commercial, institutional and non-pathogenic hospital waste. Buah et al (2007) describes MSW as wastes collected for local authorities from domestic and commercial sources.…”

Several studies and researches have been conducted on the sources and characteristics of wastes as well as the possible adverse effect of inappropriate handling and best international practices. One thing that is still not clear however is what exactly constitutes a waste? How much do we know about what should be classed as waste? What are the historical contexts of waste managements? The present paper seeks to examine these vital questions with a view to providing answers from previous studies. The paper employed a desktop approach to provide answers to the research objectives. Specifically, the paper uses a descriptive approach to gather information from peer reviewed publications such as, journal articles, environmental organizations reports and books. It was found that, waste is to a large extent subjective in meaning as a substance can only be regarded as a waste when the owner labels it as such. This is particularly true because one individual may regard a substance as a waste, while another may view the same substance as a resource. Nevertheless, it was argued that there is a need to clearly define what constitute wastes as this form the basis for regulation.

“…Globally, a number of studies have assessed the factors associated with solid waste generation (Abel, 2007;Afroz et al, 2010Afroz et al, , 2011Ajani, 2008;Jadoon et al, 2014;Sivakumar and Sugirtharan, 2010;Sridhar et al, 1985), also in Tanzania in particular (Kaseva and Gupta, 1996;Kaseva and Mbuligwe, 2005;Oberlin, 2013). But few studies (Abebaw, 2008;Oguntayo and Obayelu, 2013;Tadesse et al, 2008;Tadesse, 2009) have assessed the factors associated with solid waste disposal practices in Africa.…”

This study examines the patterns and correlations of solid waste disposal practices among households in urbanized and populated Dar es Salaam city in Tanzania. The Tanzanian Household Budget Survey (HBS) data covering many households' characteristics was used. Multinomial Logit (MNL) model was applied to examine the underlying correlates of choosing ways to dispose garbage. About 35% of the households used rubbish bin, and approximately 24% used throwing out option. MNL estimation suggest that distance, home ownership, household expenditure proxy for income, age, proportions of family members and education were statistically significant in influencing the choice of ways to dispose garbage in the city. This study suggest to policy makers to rely much on policies that will reduce poverty and raise households' income. And the city to increase the supply of waste containers on streets, the number of municipal vehicles for garbage collection and to ensure there is regular collection.

“…In other countries these policies amounted to coercion, forcing people into other forms of employment. Whether because of low levels of educational attainment, aptitude, or age, these strategies commonly failed to result in enduring work for waste collectors within the formal sector (KASEVA & GUPTA, 1996;MORENO-SANCHEZ & MALDONADO, 2006).…”
