Community Participation - Solid Waste Management in Low-Income Housing Projects: The Scope for Community Participation

This module has been prepared as a general introduction to community participation in waste management. It provides background information on the facilities and systems used in urban-waste collection and disposal, on storage and transport facilities and on waste-disposal methods. As local conditions of city management and settlement development determine the relevant options, the final choice of community involvement depends on community-specific factors. The instructor should, therefore, collect information on specific local practices. The instructor must collect, beforehand, the answers to the specified questions.
