The
quantity of solid waste generated in urban areas in industrialized countries is
higher than in developing countries; still municipal solid waste management
remains inadequate in the latter. Solid waste in developing countries differs
from developed countries. Most developing countries, Nigeria, inclusive have
solid waste management problems different from those found in industrialized
countries in areas of composition, density, political, and economic framework, garbage
amount, access to garbage for collection, awareness and attitude. The garbage
are heavier, wetter and more corrosive in developing cities than developed
cities.
In developing countries, local authorities spend 77-95% of their
revenue on collection and the balance on disposal, but can only collect almost
50-70% of municipal solid waste (MSW). We should focus our attention on garbage sorting technology.
Efficient sorting technology can reduce garbage that be sent to landfill. Hence,
the garbage problem will be solved efficiently. Contact STAVN to get the
practical garbage sorting solutions and to figure out the environment problem.
