Question 1: Challenges in Municipal Waste Management
Key Challenges:
1. Inadequate Infrastructure: Many municipalities lack sufficient waste
management infrastructure, such as landfills, recycling facilities, and waste
collection vehicles. This leads to inefficiencies in waste collection and disposal
processes (Polasi, Matinise, & Oelofse, 2020).
2. Limited Funding and Resources: Financial constraints hinder municipalities'
ability to maintain and upgrade waste management systems. The lack of
resources often results in insufficient waste collection services, leaving large
amounts of waste uncollected (Polasi et al., 2020).
3. Illegal Dumping: The high rate of illegal dumping is a significant issue.
Households and businesses often resort to illegal dumping due to irregular waste
collection services and inadequate waste disposal options (Polasi et al., 2020).
4. Lack of Public Awareness and Participation: There is a general lack of
awareness among residents regarding proper waste disposal practices. This is
exacerbated by limited public engagement initiatives by local governments
(Polasi et al., 2020).
5. Capacity and Skills Shortages: Municipalities often face challenges in
recruiting and retaining skilled personnel to manage waste effectively. This leads
to poor planning, implementation, and monitoring of waste management services
(Polasi et al., 2020).
