Solid waste disposal for low-income countries

Mansoor Ali, Andrew Cotton and Ken Westlake

Designed for policymakers and professional staff of urban government, development agencies and non-governmental organizations in low-income countries, this book aims to help improve the poor practices of municipal solid waste manage- ment that prevail in many low-income countries – a subject that has received comparatively little attention to other aspects of infrastructure such as water supply and transport. It is a complex subject embracing waste collection, transfer, haulage and disposal and its impacts are wide, including for exam- ple, effects on environmental health, municipal finance and management, waste reuse, and informal sector employment.
