Recycling & Waste Management

International Conference on

Best practices of community based solid waste management in Panga, Kirtipur, Kathmandu, Nepal

Blue Waste to Value, Nepal

unicipal 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 associated with the management

as a whole in developing and under developed countries

like Nepal. In contrast to the problems, recently a best

practices on community based solid waste management

model were implemented through the active participation

of existing and non-existing stakeholders. This basic level of

community interventions and adoption ability of the people

living in the community assisted the team to come up with

the stress-free, expedient and sustainable management

system with the use of low resources, efforts and smooth

regulations. Community interventions on adopting the

source segregation, applied polluter’s pay principle (PPP), re-

processing and recycling has helped significantly reduce the

waste generation in the source and also help to minimise it

going to the landfill. The ultimate products that are produced

from the management is being recycled, reused and thus

recovered withdrawing the optimum financials that covers

the regular cash flow deficits of this small and medium scale

enterprise (SMEs). This has entirely proved to manage Solid

Waste efficiently.
