“…Thus, a negative correlation is observed between household size and daily household waste production per person. These results corroborate those found by Miezah et al [15] in Ghana ; Qu et al [10] in Beijing, China ; Thanh et al [11] in Mekong Delta city, Vietnam ; Irwan et al [48] in Putrajaya, Malaisia ; Kayode and Omode [49] in Ibadan, Nigeria ; Lozano Lazo et al [22] in Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Bolivie all worked on solid household waste. However, previous studies Trang et al [47] ; Khan et al [50]; Noufal et al [51]; Sankoh et al [52] ; Senzige et al [53] ; Guha et al [21] have shown a positive relationship of household size on daily solid waste production, as the increase of one person in the household increases the amount of household solid waste produced per person.…”

“…However, in industrialized countries, they are generally between 0.1 and 0.4kg/capita/day [10]. Daily production of household solid waste is generally correlated with household size and/or socioeconomic level [21][22][23]. Higher-income households will produce more waste on the one hand, and larger households would produce less waste [7,10,15,24].…”

Developing countries are facing increasing urbanization accompanied by the production of large quantities of solid household waste, the management of which is a crucial problem. This study aims to characterize, quantify and promote the recovery of organic waste in Dolisie, Republic of Congo. More specifically, it aims to: (i) Determine the flow of solid household waste produced in Dolisie and (ii) Evaluate the physical properties of solid household waste with a view to predicting possible recovery routes for organic waste. Waste from 60 households of different socio-economic levels was collected, weighed, dried and classified daily for 60 days, during the wet (February 15 - May 15, 2021) and dry (July 12 - September 30, 2021) seasons. The results showed that the average daily production of solid household waste in the city of Dolisie was 0.82±0.23kg/capita/day in the wet season and 0.61±0.10kg/capita/day in the dry season. Daily per capita production correlates positively with family income and negatively with household size. The average density of waste produced was 355.71±92.99kg/m3 and 308.02±74.15kg/m3 respectively for the wet and dry seasons. The moisture content of the waste varies between 40-80% in both seasons. The waste stream collected is dominated by waste sizes between 100-20mm. The study revealed that the composition of solid household waste produced in Dolisie is dominated by biodegradable waste, which can be recycled in several sustainable ways: composting, biomass pyrolysis and biogas production.

“…However, these anticipated projections are far lower than the waste generation rate per capita recorded in the indigenous communities, as seen in Table 1 below.

Indigenous communities have always used their knowledge systems to improve their quality of life. For example, rural communities’ resort to indigenous cultural practices to manage their own waste when local administration lacks coordinated ways to manage waste. In the context of indigenous knowledge systems, the idea of waste is non-existent. As indigenous knowledge is believed to provide a holistic framework for an approach that effectively promotes sustainability. As such, the current study conducted a systematic review to evaluate the extent to which indigenous solid waste management practices contribute to sustainable waste disposal methods. Using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses guidelines, a literature search was carried out in the field of indigenous solid waste management practices. The results indicate a significant imbalance in the amount of conclusive evidence that has been produced to date that suggests the sustainability of indigenous solid waste management practices. It is for this reason that the current study has discovered a substantial literature gap in sustainable solid waste management associated with indigenous knowledge systems. This is an unprecedented trend, especially for a knowledge system that is supposed to promote sustainability practices. However, to improve the likelihood of incorporating indigenous solid waste disposal methods into modern practices, it is imperative to understand the foundational elements that contribute to the advancement of sustainability, lest the sustainability aspect associated with this knowledge system in the discipline of solid waste management remain a mere rhetoric.

“…18 of 2008 on Waste Management, it is stated that waste is the residue of human daily activities and/or natural processes in solid form. The largest source of waste generation is household waste (Nwachukwu et al, 2018;Lozano Lazo et al, 2023;Riruma et al, 2021). Household waste issues originally started with the increasing development of housing and residential…”

Bogor is one of the cities in Indonesia with a dense population and is experiencing population growth every year. Like other city problems, waste is also a problem in Bogor City. Waste generation in cities like Bogor City has been continued to increase since 2005. Even though the Bogor City Government has socialized with changes in waste management with a new paradigm, those living in residential areas are still using the old paradigm principle which is collect-transport-throw (end of a pipe). Therefore, a study was conducted to determine the waste generated and the perception and role of community participation in managing waste, especially household waste in residential areas. In this study, data collection was carried out in one of the housing areas in Bogor City, namely the Pakuan Regency. The collection of daily waste data to measure waste generation and composition is carried out based on the Indonesian National Standard 19-3964-1994 method. This data analysis technique uses a qualitative descriptive analysis with respondents differentiated on the basis of type of house and the number of occupants. This research produces data on waste generation for small, medium, and large house types 286,12 kg/houses/year, 366,57 tons/houses/year, and 523,67 kg/houses//year respectively. The result showed that the total of household waste, the level of participation and the household’s willingness to pay for TPS 3R plan made it possible to implement the TPS 3R program in this residential. Operational cost for TPS 3R can be covered from the retribution annual revenue.
