Solid Household Waste Management in the Urban District of Kati

Solid household waste management is a major issue in the urban commune of Kati. This is due in particular to the lack of adequate infrastructure, lack of public awareness, human and financial constraints and poor governance. These problems have a considerable impact on the environment, public health and the local economy. With the absence of standardized garbage cans and transit depots, final landfill sites meet design standards and uncollected waste can lead to soil and water pollution, the spread of disease and deterioration of the urban landscape. Adopting new approaches such as waste sorting, recycling, reuse and recovery (circular economy), can have a positive impact on the environment, public health and the local economy.
