Solid Municipal Waste Management for Sustainable Development

Abstract

The article discusses the main directions of improving the management of municipal solid waste in accordance with the requirements of the concept of sustainable development. The concept of “solid municipal waste “is analyzed in its comparison with the concept of “solid household waste”. The problems associated with the functioning of the sphere of solid municipal waste management are emphasized. The tasks of the development of this industry for Russia in the near future are defined. Environmental control of MSW is difficult, since the main sources of MSW are households and organizations of municipal services of settlements. These sources are numerous, highly dispersed (scattered throughout the territory). Insufficient eco-cultural training and inadequate self-awareness of the population prevent the regulation of MSW flows and the spread of SD in everyday life. Therefore, the solution to the problem of solid waste should use an adequate methodology, including administrative regulation and systematic improvement of the level of ecological culture of the population.

Who Holds the Keys to the Management of Municipal Waste and Which Locks of Municipal Sustainability do they Fit Into?

“…Secondly, the municipalities are in charge of local waste management policies when they can employ innovative technologies and resource-saving methods of disposal, e.g. using the waste through reasonable recycling of resources or building a waste-free circular economy [90]. De Jaeger et al [77] indicated also the reversed logic that the political desire for more waste reduction is accompanied by improved managerial expertise or investments in modern and more productive equipment.…”

Analysis of community participation in waste management that supports the agricultural sector in Takalar

“…Waste can be defined as all work activities that are not provide added value in the process of transforming inputs into outputs along the value stream mapping. From a lean perspective, all types of waste that exists along the value stream process, which transforms inputs into outputs must be removed in order to increase the value of the product (goods or services) and further increase customer value (Grishaeva et al, 2022). The seven wastes can be grouped into 3 related main categories towards man, machine, and material.…”

“…The man category contains the concept of motion, waiting, and over production. The machine category includes over process, meanwhile Material categories include transportation, inventory and defects (Grishaeva et al, 2022).…”

“…There are even areas that have converted waste into energy (Alqahtani et al, 2022;Bulekova et al, 2022;Fauzan et al, 2022;Janetasari & Bokányi, 2022;Ramaditya et al, 526 2022;Pratama et al, 2022;Sulistyaningsih, 2022;Sunaryani, 2022;Wahyuni et al, 2022;Xu et al, 2017). However, until now, waste management has not been satisfactory; for example, the 3R activities, namely reuse, reduce, and recycling, have not run optimally (Brotosusilo et al, 2022;Grishaeva et al, 2022;Mwanza et al, 2018;Ramaditya et al, 2021;Oktariani et al, 2022;Sulistyaningsih, 2022;Wahyuni et al, 2022). The obstacles are the low level of citizen participation, weak supervision, low collaboration with various stakeholders, and limited facilities, infrastructure, and budget (Fauzan et al, 2022).…”

“…Organic waste, in particular, has been processed by several communities into organic fertilizer, but such processing has yet to become a massive movement; besides that, several types of an-organic waste can be recycled into equipment that can be used in the agricultural sector. This research focuses on management at the household level so that households can reduce waste as one of the most significant contributors to waste (Grishaeva et al, 2022;Rado, 2022). So far, community participation in waste management is still relatively low due to ignorance of the importance of protecting the environment and the effect of waste on environmental damage (Sulistyaningsih, 2022), and the public has the perception that waste management is the responsibility of the government (Chikowore, 2022;.…”
