Domestic Solid Waste Management in Tho Nghiep Commune, Xuan Truong District, Nam Dinh Province: Current Status and Solutions

This article presents research results on the current status and proposes solutions to improve the efficiency of domestic solid waste (DSW) management in Tho Nghiep commune, Xuan Truong district, Nam Dinh province. The survey was conducted for 170 households and the results show that 40.59% of households process a part of DSW by themselves (=equivalently 10.8% of total DSW) while the rest is transferred to the commune's garbage collection team. The other 59.41% of the households transfer all the solid waste to the commune's waste collection team for treatment at the centralized area. The average volume of DSW released in the whole commune is about 5.5 tons/day, collected with a frequency of three days/week. The collected solid waste is further classified and treated at the commune's incinerator treatment zone by Truong Phat Agricultural Service and Green Environment Cooperative. The environmental assessment of Tho Nghiep DSW treatment area was conducted in November 2022. The results from the incinerator exhaust gas samples showed that four out of five parameters (including SO2, CO, NOx, HCl) are below the allowable standards, only one out of five parameters (Total dust) are higher than the allowable standard of QCVN 61-MT:2016/BTNMT on DSW incinerators. For the surface water samples taken at the southern infield ditch of the incinerator, all eight parameters (pH, BOD5 (at 20oC), COD, TSS, NH4+, NO3-, PO43-, Coliforms) were below permissible standard of QCVN 08-MT:2015/BTNMT on surface water quality. Based on these results, a few proposed solutions have been identified to improve the effectiveness of DSW management in the study area.

Public administration of domestic solid waste management as a direction for the protection of consumer rights

The scientific article is devoted to the public administration of solid household waste management as a direction of consumer rights protection. Attention was drawn to the positive aspects of public administration regarding the management of solid household waste as a means of protecting consumer rights (for example, in the Dnipropetrovsk region): the existence of the National Waste Management Strategy in Ukraine until 2030; availability of a regulatory and legislative framework in the field of management and handling of solid household waste; availability of "Methodical recommendations for the development of regional waste management plans”; existence of a solid household waste management program in the Dnipropetrovsk region for 2022-2024; positive experience of the EU and other developed countries in the field of effective management and handling of solid household waste; the presence of a solid household waste collection and disposal system; availability of municipal solid waste landfills; availability of enterprises for processing, processing and disposal of hazardous components of solid household waste; initiation of elements of separate collection of solid household waste; gradual formation of awareness among the population regarding the need to separate resource-valuable components from the general flow of solid household waste.
 It was concluded that the problematic issues in public administration regarding the handling of solid household waste as a direction of consumer rights protection (for example, in the Dnipropetrovsk region): the tendency to increase the scale of generation and accumulation of solid household waste; lack of a systematic approach to creating effective management and handling of solid household waste; insufficient funding of solid waste management and management; low level of implementation of previous regional solid waste management and handling programs; low level of utilization of resource-valuable components of solid household waste; lack of waste transfer stations and waste processing enterprises, etc.

Evaluation of Domestic Solid Waste Management in Cai Rang District, Can Tho City, Vietnam

The study was conducted to evaluate the management of domestic solid waste in Cai Rang district, Can Tho city. The study conducted sampling of domestic solid waste from 20 households in four wards Le Binh, Hung Phu, Ba Lang, and Tan Phu within 07 days from March 6 to 12, 2023. At the same time, three groups of subjects including 120 households, 3 Environmental Managers, and 3 employees of Urban Environment Joint Stock Company were interviewed to collect information. The result showed that the average domestic solid waste generation coefficient reached 0.28 kg/person/day, and the amount of domestic solid waste generated can reach about 11,027.3 tons by the end of 2023. Of which, up to 91% of the volume of domestic solid waste was recyclable, including 52% of biodegradable organic waste, and 39% of recyclable waste. As for domestic solid waste management, there was still a limitation in classifying waste at source, this rate only fluctuates between 43.4-86.7%. Besides, the rate of households registered for domestic solid waste collection service had a difference between urban and rural areas, fluctuating from 76.7-96.7%. After being collected, domestic solid waste was transported to the Can Tho household waste incineration plant (EB plant). Meanwhile, the remaining amount of domestic solid waste was treated using unsanitary landfill methods, and thrown into rivers, causing environmental pollution, and public health. Although propaganda activities related to domestic solid waste management were carried out in four wards in Cai Rang district, Can Tho city. However, the level of implementation of these activities was not regular. From that, the study identified a number of difficulties in domestic solid waste management, including solid waste that was not completely classified at source, and garbage collection services that were not organized throughout the area. The district lacked specialized waste collection vehicles after classification, and public propaganda, and education work were limited. This research will help local authorities come up with specific solutions to improve the quality of solid waste management in Cai Rang district, Can Tho city.

State of the field of domestic solid waste management in Ukraine

It was determined that the current state of the field of solid household waste management in Ukraine is: focused on the landfilling of solid household waste, its placement in landfills and spontaneous landfills, most of which do not meet the requirements of environmental safety; is characterized by the lack of opportunities for separate collection and processing of solid household waste; has a low technological level and a low level of implementation of innovative technologies; is characterized by the lack of a proper recycling system (including a separate collection system); limited by approaches to making complex management decisions and financial resources. It has been established that the outdated methods of managing this area, as well as the lack of a comprehensive solid waste management system, is the main problem for Ukraine, which negatively affects the environment and the health of the population. Solving this problem largely depends on state policy, legislative innovations and specific financial and economic mechanisms approved at the national level. The main priorities for changes in solid waste management policy are outlined. It has been established that the development of national legislation in the field of waste management, including solid household waste, is taking place in Ukraine. In particular, the National Waste Management Strategy until 2030, the National Waste Management Plan until 2030, the Law of Ukraine “On Waste Management” was adopted, which indicates the implementation of the basic principles and provisions of European legislation in the field of waste management, including solid household waste.

Strategi Pengelolaan Limbah Padat Domestik Berbasis Pemberdayaan Masyarakat Di Kota Dumai

The problem of domestic solid waste has become a national issue, including in Dumai City, as seen in the Landfill (TPA) in Dumai City (Mekar Sari Landfill, South Dumai District). Many and easy domestic solid waste are found in the landfill, which is caused by not being able to be handled considering that 3 sanitary landfills are full and limited human resources, land and tools. This study aims to determine the implementation and constraints, environmental, social and economic impacts of domestic solid waste management in West Dumai District and South Dumai District. The research was conducted in several stages, starting from an initial survey based on field observations and interviews using variables of waste types and sources in West Dumai District and South Dumai District, the volume of waste, the impact on the environment, social and economic, the form of management implementation, and the constraints possessed in the management. This study used non-probability sampling with snowball sampling method in sampling techniques. This method is used in connection with the collection of interview-based information/data, and multilevel questionnaires, ranging from waste producers, management officers to supervisors of domestic waste management in West Dumai District and South Dumai District of Dumai City. Based on the results of the study, domestic solid waste in West Dumai and South Dumai Districts of Dumai City will continue to increase along with the higher volume of waste produced compared to what can be handled by managers (60%) while the obstacles they have cannot be resolved. Suboptimal management of domestic solid waste has a negative impact on the environment in West Dumai and South Dumai Districts. Among them are triggering easy flooding when it rains, to contamination of water sources used by humans. From a social aspect, the comfort of Dumai residents is disturbed, including their daily activities. From an economic point of view, flooding has an impact on income levels (economic aspects). Flooding (tidal) is increasingly routine in West Dumai and South Dumai Districts with an increasingly tight frequency, namely 2 times / month, which is caused by the topography of the area (lower than other areas) and clogged waterways due to garbage carried by the water flow. The suggestion in this study is to propose management collaboration with companies operating in Dumai in supporting the operation of the 3R TPS, such as financing for operators, providing machines, or for facility maintenance.

Domestic Solid Waste Management in Rural Areas - case study of the Waorani Nampa Community, Ecuadorian Amazon

: This study focused on the proposal of an integrated solid household waste management system in the rural community of Waorani Nampa belonging to the Waorani indigenous nationality in the Ecuadorian Amazon. In this community, the burning of domestic solid waste is the only man-agement strategy commonly used, which has generated diverse environmental and health im-pacts on the population. Therefore, here we focused on diagnosing the socio-environmental con-dition of the community through surveys in order to determine the average daily per capita pro-duction of domestic solid waste. This was done through a characterization applying the method-ology of the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) and the development of a proposal for a management model appropriate to the current demographic characteristics, from environmental education to final disposal. The results obtained determined that the average PPC of the community is 0.343 kg/person/day and the predominant category was the organic fraction with 64.20% of a total of 31.15 kg of solid waste produced. Finally, as initiatives for adequate management and use, it was proposed that an area be adapted to generate compost and a recycling system to obtain economic resources for the benefit of the population.

Occurrence analysis and scenario development for domestic solid waste management in Vung Tau City

Domestic solid waste management (DSWM) in Vung Tau City (VTC) is emerging as an envi-ronmental problem behind rapid urban development. The amount of DSW increased rapidly, leading to a disturbance in the collection, transportation, and challenges in the implementation of DSWM at the source. This study aims to assess the situation and develop and analyze the scenarios of the DSWM system for VTC, thereby proposing strategies to improve the DSWM system for the city in 2024 - 2033. The scenarios of the DSWM system were built based on the situation analysis, the national and regional SWM regulations, and scientific assumptions that have been studied in Viet Nam. This study showed that the amount of DSW in VTC has in-creased rapidly at the rate of 7,4%/year over the past decade and reached 457.9 tons in 2022. About 80% of the DSW is collected by 500 informal collectors, who work spontaneously and are unmanaged. The minimalist and optimal DSWM models have been built and evaluated. The results showed that these two models of the DSWM should be applied in two phases, 2024-2028 and 2029-2033, respectively. According to this roadmap, the amount of DSW to the land-fill was estimated to reduce 26% of the total waste generation. The amount of recovered recy-clable waste is also estimated to be increased five times compared to 2023. Furthermore, the quality of DSW in the treatment area is suitable for composting and handling by waste-to-energy solutions.

Chronic Undernutrition and Associated Factors Among Children Aged 6 to 59 Months in South Ari, South Omo Zone, Ethiopia: A Community-Based Cross-Sectional Study.

Chronic undernutrition (stunting) among children is associated with an increased risk of morbidity and mortality. The global community is committed to end all forms of malnutrition by 2030. Regardless of this, children are suffering from some form of malnutrition but the reason is unclear. This study thus was intended to identify stunting and associated factors among children aged 6 to 59 months in the South Ari Woreda of South Omo Zone. A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted in South Ari Woreda from 1, January 2022 to 30, February 2022, and 409 children participated. A simple random sampling technique was used to identify study participants, and mothers/caregivers were interviewed. Data on sociodemographic, economic, and environmental determinants were collected by trained professional nurses using interviewer-administered questionnaires and anthropometric data were collected via weighting and measuring the height/length of the child. Emergency Nutrition Assessment for Standardized Monitoring and Assessment of Relief and Transitions 2020 software was used to generate an anthropometric index, and a child with a height for age index below -2standard deviations of the standard population was considered stunted. Factors of stunting were assessed using multivariate binary logistic regression at a 5% significance level. The study revealed that 44.0% (95% confidence interval (CI) = 39.19%-48.81%) of children were stunted in the study area. Household's wealth status (the poorest; adjusted odds ratio (AOR) = 4.14 [95% CI = 2.08-8.22] and poor; AOR = 3.31 [95% CI = 1.60-6.82]), improper solid waste management practice of the household (AOR = 2.67 [95% CI = 1.56-4.55]), and the children sleeping under insecticide-treated bed nets (ITN) (AOR = 0.37 [95%CI = 0.22-0.60]) were statistically significantly associated with stunting status of the children. Stunting among the children in the study area was very high. Improving household's (HH) economy, safe management of domestic solid waste, and ensuring that the children are sleeping under ITNs are expected to reduce stunting.

Management of domestic solid waste in rural communities – a case study of the Río Blanco community, Ecuador

The current study focused on the proposal of a comprehensive management system for domestic solid waste in the rural community of Río Blanco belonging to the indigenous Ecuadorian Kichwa nationality. In this community, the burning of domestic solid waste is the only management strategy commonly used, which has generated various environmental and health impacts on the population. Therefore, here we focused on diagnosing the socio-environmental condition of the community through surveys in order to determine the average daily per capita production of domestic solid waste. This occurred through a characterization applying the methodology of the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) and in the development of a proposal for a management model appropriate to the present demographic characteristics, from environmental education to its final disposal. The results obtained determined that the average DPCP of the community is 0.205 kg/person/day and the predominant category was the organic fraction with 45.84% of a total of 23.62 kg of solid waste produced. Finally, as appropriate management and use initiatives, we proposed the adaptation of an area for the generation of compost and a recycling system that allows obtaining economic resources for the benefit of the population.

Knowledge, Attitude and Practice Towards Domestic Solid Waste Management in Rural District, Bac Lieu Province, Vietnam

The characteristics of waste composition and community behavior are important data for making an appropriate domestic solid waste management plan. However, these data are lacking or not studied in Bac Lieu, especially in rural areas. Therefore, the study was conducted to determine the domestic waste composition and evaluate the factors related to the knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) level of the community in domestic solid waste management in Phuoc Long district, Bac Lieu province, Vietnam. The results of domestic solid waste samples collected at households showed that the waste was composed of organic (73.8%), recyclables (15.7%), hazardous waste (0.7%), and others (9.9%). Plastic bags (42.7%) and papers (30.5%) were predominant in the recyclables. The interview of 150 households indicated that the majority of respondents had an average level of knowledge (46%), and attitude (49.3%). However, 46% of respondents had an inadequate level of practice. In addition, the study observed that respondents have a good level of knowledge and attitude that leads to good practice. The Chi-square test showed that the KAP level of the respondents is influenced by demographic factors including age, education, occupation and income (p<0.05). In which, education level and age were the significant influencing factors. The results indicated that education for improving the community’s knowledge and attitudes in domestic solid management should pay more attention on the population aged over 60 years and those with occupations belonging to agriculture and housework.

Study of Influencing Factors of Domestic Solid Waste Management in Federal Capital Territory, Abuja

Purpose: The study is on the influencing factors of domestic solid waste management in Abuja targeted at investigating and studying the factors influencing domestic solid waste management in Abuja, Historically, the amount of wastes generated by human population was insignificant mainly due to the low population densities, coupled with the fact that there was very little exploitation of natural resources. The problem associated with the management of solid waste in most urban cities in Nigeria, like Abuja, does not completely appear to be a problem of absence of legislative framework for solid waste management owing to the fact that at Federal, States, and Local governments levels, there exist some form of sanitation legislations or the other, but some other factors have come to play with the crises experienced in the management of wastes in the Nigerian urban centers.
 Methodology: The research procedures involve the following: research design, population of the study, sample and sampling techniques, instrumentation, validation of the instrument, administration of the instrument and data analysis techniques.
 Findings: The result of the study to determine the social factor affecting the management of domestic waste: Location have great effect on waste management, not that everyone should leave in that location, but amenities available in that location should be considered in other locations too. There’s is inadequate waste bin located across the location of study. To determine the economic factor affecting the management of domestic waste: The key economic factor affecting waste management is the poor economy of the nation. Poor or bad technological concept lack of facilities, insufficient man power and more affect the waste management. To determine the natural factors affecting household waste management in Abuja: Top on the natural factor that affects solid waste management in Abuja is the wind, topography and flooding. Which made the management of this waste difficult by the waste management companies. Rain have a slight stand out as during rainy seasons waste management team don’t go into all sessions to extract waste.
 Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy: Further finding solving the research questions shows that the social status of Abuja residence affects the disposal of waste. The lack of finance or poor economic condition result to poor waste management. Some natural element has significance on waste management in Abuja. Some other factor that have significant effect on household waste management, e.g. corruption, bad economy, lack of sensitization and lack of funds. Furthermore, waste reuse will not be out of place hence the territory moves closer to a zero waste level, where all said waste are recycled and reused by the host communities.
