Considerations for safe disposal of garbage in LMICs

The effective management of municipal solid waste is both a pressing challenge and a critical opportunity. As urbanization, industrialization, and population growth continue to drive up waste generation, it is imperative to adopt comprehensive waste management strategies. Emphasizing public education on waste segregation and the implementation of the 3Rs (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle) can significantly reduce the volume of waste requiring disposal. Optimizing waste collection and transportation routes, alongside the careful selection and design of landfill sites, are essential steps in minimizing environmental and health risks. Advanced landfill
technologies, such as bioreactor landfills, offer promising solutions for enhancing waste decomposition and energy recovery. Ultimately, a collaborative effort involving government, communities, and stakeholders is vital to implementing these strategies successfully, ensuring that waste management practices are both sustainable and effective in safeguarding public health and the environment.
