Solid Waste Management

The World Bank’s Solid Waste Management Knowledge Silo Breaker is a community of practice created to share knowledge between practitioners of all affiliations. Through document sharing, discussions, and events, it aims to increase the awareness of solid waste issues and innovations across the globe.
The community’s objectives are: share experiences and resources to learn from solid waste management projects across the World Bank Group; further technical knowledge; strengthen projects by including environmental, social, urban, gender, sustainable financing, and climate perspectives and expertise when relevant; and learn about the latest innovations globally.

  • Abstract

    • Upstream Reduction of Solid Waste Generation: Implications on Dioxin and Furan Emission

     Burning of garbage is prevalent in Latin America at poorly managed disposal sites and when it is used as a means of disposal at the household level in rural areas and other areas not adequately covered by collection. Waste burning is one of the major sources of dioxins and furans in these Countries. Current strategies to reduce these emissions include the long term process of converting dumpsites to landfills and expanding collection to areas not covered by the collection service.

  • Abstract

    • Viability of Current and Emerging Technologies for Domestic Solid Waste Treatment and Disposal: Implications on Dioxin and Furan Emissions

    This study was undertaken to identify and assess the technologies available worldwide for treatment and disposal of municipal solid waste (MSW), and to make a general assessment of the applicability of these technologies to various waste management 'settings' within the Latin American and Caribbean (LAC) Region. Each technology was evaluated for a number of key attributes, including demonstrated commercial viability, economics, institutional factors, sustainability metrics, and environmental attributes, including emissions of dioxins and furans.

    • Municipal Solid Waste Management in Small Towns : An Economic Analysis Conducted in Yunnan, China

    Municipal solid waste management continues to be a major challenge for local governments in both urban and rural areas across the world, and one of the key issues is their financial constraints. Recently an economic analysis was conducted in Eryuan, a poor county located in Yunnan Province of China, where willingness to pay for an improved solid waste collection and treatment service was estimated and compared with the project cost.
