Solid Waste Management and The Missing Linkages

Solid waste management and the missing linkages of Development in Third World Countries, focuses on Solid waste management as an aspect of public health which has influence on the development and social health of the people, because it is produced through human efforts at every sphere of human endeavour, either at the rural or communal level or at the urban or cosmopolitan setting. It is one thing to produce solid waste and another to dispose of the waste. This brings us to the issue of management, which includes collection, evacuation, transportation, equipment, resources, manpower, skilled and unskilled labour, accommodation and others. To the final disposal site, which is the final and the most important point in solid waste management processing, which needs the services of experts for construction and maintenance. But in this competent, analytical and authoritative research, it has received the attention it deserves. However, the searchlight focuses, appropriately and adequately, on the germane issues of development, Energy, Employment Generation, Economic Growth, Conservation etc if properly harnessed and recycled.
