Abstract

Municipal solid waste management (SWM) is a challenging task for the developing-country authorities. Integrating recycling systems into SWM is essential for mitigating this problem. Understanding the elements that influence recycling is vital for sustainable waste management. Institutional components such as enabling legislation and regulations support effective Integrated Solid Waste Management (ISWM). Solid waste management is the organised handling, disposal, and recycling of solid waste generated by human activities. This includes collecting, transporting, processing, and correctly disposing of diverse types of solid waste to reduce their negative influence on the environment and public health. The phrase "solid waste" refers to neither liquid nor gaseous items. The literature review on municipal solid waste management (MSWM) revealed significant insights into the subject matter. One key finding was the importance of adopting a comprehensive and integrated approach encompassing waste reduction, reuse, recycling, and disposal methods. This holistic approach, guided by waste hierarchy principles, such as source reduction and recycling, is crucial in minimising waste generation and promoting sustainable practices. The review also identified several challenges faced by municipalities in managing solid waste. The main hurdles were inadequate infrastructure, insufficient funding, and limited public awareness and participation. To address these challenges effectively, improved policies, regulations, and governance frameworks were deemed necessary. Municipalities can create a conducive environment for sustainable waste management by implementing these measures. Advanced technologies and innovative solutions were highlighted as potential game-changers in MSWM. Waste-to-energy systems, anaerobic digestion, and landfill gas capture were identified as valuable options that contribute to waste diversion, energy recovery, and reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. Integrating these technologies into waste management strategies can significantly enhance sustainability efforts.
