Abstract
Unwanted remains, discarded residues, and byproduct materials that are not required by the initial user are known as wastes. In Ethiopia, improper solid waste management becomes endemic and it affects the health conditions, comforts, and freedom of town communities. Improper solid waste management can also adversely affect infrastructure damages, socioeconomic conditions, and environmental and health problems. So, awareness creation among the communities is necessary. The main objective of the study was to assess the management of existing solid waste activities and reverse logistic systems in Tepi town. The impacts of improper solid waste management were reduced through waste accumulation, transportation, recycling, and waste removal. Available pieces of information for the study were gathered from 450 near house places and 549 survivals. The collected data were analyzed by using Vensim system dynamics software, and the obtained results were modeled by a system dynamic cause and effect relationship diagram. Finally, the appropriate recommendations for communities, municipals, and institutions were provided.
