Managing Solid Waste in Secondary Cities

Piloting is important to establish the viability and sustainability of novel methologies and approaches. The implementation of pilot schemes for innovative and participatory waste reuse and recycling approaches helped assess the viability and sustainability of the proposed solutions before suggesting these approaches for rollout on a larger scale. The outcomes of the schemes have demonstrated that recyclable waste can be processed community groups and small businesses and put into economic circulation, which leads to th3 generation of new jobs and income. Recycling minimizes the volume of the waste to be disposed of at landfills, thereby increasing the lifespan of landfills and reducing harm to the environment and human health.
