Waste (DSW) management remains the biggest obsession that recurrently attracts
the attention of the concern authorities and stakeholders. As one of the seven
localities comprised the state, the Sharg El Neel Locality was chosen to study
the DSW management efficiency. The materials and methods employed in collection
of data is a package of techniques, one of which was by conducting interviews
using structured and unstructured questions mainly directed to appropriate persons
i.e., householders and particular government employees directly engaged in DSW
management operations. The main findings reached in this study were that local
authorities lack the necessary capacities to handle the immense problems of
DSW management. Shortages of funds, inadequate number of workers, lack of transport
and facilities and weakness of attitudes of respondents found to be among factors
hindering the DSW management. Accordingly, proper scheduled and timing, well-trained
public health officers and sanitary overseers and strict sustainable program
to controlling flies, rodents, cockroach and other disease vectors are essential
to properly managing DSW. Otherwise, problems resulting from solid waste generation
in the study area will be magnitudized and the surrounding environment will
definitely be deteriorated.]]>Cointreau, S.,20062006Eschenroeder, A. and K. von Stackelberg,19991999Kumagai, S. and S. Koda,20052120125Ladu, J.L.C., X. Lu and M.A. Osman,201192735Malkin, R., P.
