Today, a large amount of solid waste is generated worldwide, of which only 10% is reused. The amount of solid waste reused is reduced if the waste has some characteristics that make it hazardous, as is the case of hospital solid waste (HSW). To this are added the environmental impacts that the waste and its inadequate handling entails. This research shows the association of solid waste management practices with environmental impacts in the Alberto Sabogal Sologuren National Hospital. For this, segregation, internal transport of solid waste, cleaning and disinfection of the equipment and the availability of personal protective equipment were taken into account. To achieve this, an evaluation of its management was carried out, which was carried out by visiting each of the services and / or environments of the Hospital, a physical characterization of solid waste for seven days where solid waste was identified and quantified. areas and services, an interview with staff working in the hospital center and an identification of environmental factors that are impacted as a result of waste management practices.

This paper examines the influence of population growth on waste generation in Lagos metropolis, African’s most populous urban conglomeration. Using both quantitative and qualitative methods, the study analyses the pattern of household waste disposal, collection and transportation in Lagos State. It also examines the public-private partnership strategy adopted in waste management. The findings show that population growth significantly influences waste generation and management in Lagos metropolis. As the population increased, the volume of waste generated also increased in each LGA of Lagos State. The public-private partnership strategy has been effective in managing waste, but the Lagos State Waste Management Authority oversight was adjudged as less than satisfactory. The paper concludes that intervention is needed in terms of educating the growing population of the Lagos metropolis on the best waste management practices. It highlights the need for a more efficient and effective publicprivate partnership collaboration to solve this perennial social problem.

Waste Management Practices

Hong Kong is a densely populated city with high-rise developments, and as in other metropolitan cities, the amount of waste generated from construction projects in the city is increasing annually. The capacity of existing landfills is expected to be saturated by the 2020s. Construction waste management has been implemented for years but the performance is still not satisfactory. The aim of this research paper is to explore and formulate strategies and measures for effective construction waste management and reduction in highly urbanized cities such as Hong Kong. A desktop study on construction waste management practices was carried out for a preliminary understanding of the current situation in Hong Kong. Semistructured interviews and focus group meetings were further conducted to shed light on how to improve construction waste reduction and management in Hong Kong. The main contributions of this research study are the potential short-term, medium-term, and long-term strategies, which are related to the design stage, tender stage, construction stage, and government support. The five major strategies recommended are financial benefits to stakeholders, public policies in facilitating waste sorting, government supports for the green building industry, development of a mature recycling market, and education and research in construction waste minimization and management.
