“…The composition of the solid wastes depends on a number of factors such as food habits, cultural traditions, climate and income [1]. Municipal solid waste management involves a collection of stages namely generation, storage, separation, collection, energy recovery and disposal activities [4]. Generation of solid wastes depends on factors such as social behaviour, income level, sources, population, climate, industrial production and market for waste materials [1].…”

The purpose of this case study was to conduct a case study in the generation rate, composition, and characterise solid wastes from low, middle and high income households during weekdays and weekends in Palapye, Botswana. The study was conducted through sampling and analysis of the wastes from sampled households from each of the three categories. Palapye village does not have an engineered solid waste management system in place; hence the study can be used as a starting point. The village is rapidly urbanising with many shopping complexes coming up which will generate high amounts of solid wastes of different compositions. The lowest generation rate was 0.038 kg/capita/day from low income households during weekends and the highest was 0.364 kg/capita/day generated from high income households during weekends. The composition of the wastes was dominated by food wastes ranging from 46.44% to 80.78% with low income households generating the highest percentage during weekdays. The average moisture contents of samples from low, middle and high income households were 71% ± 0.0%, 66.3% ± 1.25% and 74.3% ± 2.2% respectively during weekdays compared to 77% ± 0.0%, 66.5% ± 3.5% and 69.3% ± 3.3% during weekends. The average moisture contents from low, middle and high income households were 71% ± 0.0%, 66.3% ± 1.25% and 74.3% ± 2.2% respectively during weekdays compared to 77% ± 0.0%, 66.5% ± 3.5% and 69.3% ± 3.3% during weekends. The results can be used as part of the waste management planning purpose by the Administrative Council of the area.

“…The collection and transportation of urban waste is an important step of the waste management cycle, as the collection of sorted waste that soon separates different kind of materials makes their reusing, recovering, and recycling easier and more efficient, at the same time reducing the amount of landfilled waste [4]. In Italy, the Legislative Decree no.…”

The collection of urban waste is an important step of the waste management cycle, because the collection of sorted waste that soon separates different kind of materials makes their reusing, recovering, and recycling easier and more efficient, reducing the amount of landfilled waste. In Italy, municipalities have to meet specific targets relative to the yearly percentage of sorted waste collection. Collecting and analyzing data about waste collection and the proportion of sorted waste and the specific type of waste materials is a critical activity to measure the performance and monitor the effort of the municipalities to meet targets. Raw data relative to the yearly amounts of total and sorted waste collected from 2007 to 2017, and data relative to socio-economics in 258 municipalities of the Apulia region were retrieved from public databases and were used to calculate waste statistical indicators. Data about total and sorted waste collection in Italy at the regional and country level were retrieved and analysed to compare the Apulia region and specific groups of regions. The evolution of the per capita total and sorted waste amounts was also analysed over time for Apulia and the rest of Italy. The effects of the municipality surface area, the number of inhabitants and population density on the sorted waste collection rate were investigated by performing regression analysis. These data may help policy makers and stakeholders to evaluate total and sorted waste production over time, set and assess targets, and identify best policy practices.

“…Past research has discussed the handling of waste from the aspect of environmental management through the facilities or public infrastructure [7]. Another study discussed the set of indicators to address municipal solid waste collection systems taking into account 1economic performance [8]. Another study also addressed waste management by creating a garbage collecting robotruck model with the application of sensors to track the path and use Arduino software [9].…”

Security today is not only defined from a military standpoint, but also human security in which it has relations to social issues, human rights, economic, and environmental. Environmental issues, one of which is on the management of waste handling. A large amount of waste that goes to the place of final processing Pontianak Batu Layang is Hundreds of tonnes per day to make some millennials led by Muhammad Hafiz Waliyyudin initiating Angkuts application to support the city of Pontianak in waste management. This research used a descriptive method for designing a management model, especially waste management planning and actualization of Angkuts towards application-based Smart City from the perspective of human security. Based on these results, the researchers concluded that the design of waste handling management is done through planning and actuating. Planning applications applied technologies based on Angkuts industrial era 4.0 toward achieving smart city. Implementation of an application-based waste handling management Angkuts millennial generation is through participation and government support. As a recommendation, the application has the potential to support Angkuts based waste handling applications in the human security perspective to be used in a wider area again, not only in the city of Pontianak.
