FUNDING OF POLYTHENE WASTE
MANAGEMENT THROUGH DEVELOPING SELF-FINANCING SCHEMES.
The governments of developing countries have limited
funds for solid waste management and must develop measures to reduce and
recover the expenditure and increase revenues where possible. They need to turn
their waste management system to more self-financing programmers external
support can be effectively used to develop different alternative cost cutting,
cost recovering, and revenue-raising schemes (e.g., waste minimization,
deposit-refund system for recyclable materials, import or sales tax on certain
packaged products, collection of user service charges, etc) and implement pilot
studies on these economic retentive measures. Which the waste management body (EBSEPA) does mean as user
service charge.
(i) Collection:
This has to do with transportation of the domestic waste from the point of
storage to the point of disposal. Two stages are involved in the collection:-
(a) The direct collection which makes uses
only one means of transpiration. I. e. the waste is picked up from the point of
storage in a truck that takes place on the disposal site.
(b) The second collection which carries the
solid waste from the storage facility to the transfer station, at the transfer
station, the waste is loaded I the secondary stage to transport the waste to
the disposal site
(ii) Disposal
site: The final destination of polythene waste, usually it is dumped on
land at a tip, this may be done in an engineered and hygienic way:-
(a) Sanitary landfill or controlled tipping
or in a careless way:-
(b)
Open tipping or crude dumping under
managed or crude wate disposal has negative effect on the environment,
individual and community health, society in general and the economy. These
include:-
(i) Toxic contamination of the environment
(ii) Specific health problems including
convulsion, chronic dermatitis, chronic irritation of mucous membranes, cancers
etc.
CREATING ENVIRONMENTAL AWARENESS
FOR DOMESTIC WASTE MANAGEMENT.
Effective management of domestic requires the cooperation
of the general public. Lifting the priority of, and allocating more resources
to, the solid waste management sector needs the support from decision makers’
awareness activities
Private sector participation in
waste management, collection and disposal services is also a way to reduce the
financial burden of the government. It can draw not only investment finance
from private companies for waste management equipment and facilities, but also
managerial expertise a technical skill. Experiences in developing countries,
which are reported elsewhere, indicate that use of private sector resources
through a contractual arrangement provides a potential alternative towards self
financing waste management.
Effective application of economic
incentive measures and sector resources in waste management requires human
resources to private sector manage such scheme. Aside from human resources
development in technical aspect of solid waste management, human resources
development in financial planning and management is necessary and often a key
to the development of more self financing scheme.
ADMINISTRATIVE
STRUCTURE FOR WASTE MANAGEMENT
To implement the said concept, all advisory committee,
which is represented by the heads of local authorities? Executive communities
have been formal in each and every waste management zones to plan waste
management activities working groups for the respective local Authorities were
formed to execute zonal plans at local authority level. Since this is a new
concept to the province, familiarization is in progress. Therefore, regular
meeting and awareness programs are conducted by waste management Authority
(WMA)
Through the zonal concept, the
authority will be able to utilize the available limited resources and funds,
released by the central government.
LEGISLATION
Laws and legislation should be put
in place regarded the improper polythene waste disposal. The people who are
seen throwing away the bags careless while moving should be penalized and this
should be done by lobbying the parliament to pass these laws. In some cases the
use of bags should be banned especially where they have been mismanaged. Local
actions projects should emphasized by the students where by the students move
to the neighboring committees to have them cleaned up and also carry out
seminars to sensitize the masses about the danger of improver waste disposal.
Using by development law for enforcement
