Abstract

The generation and handling of waste are significant challenges to developing nations like South Africa. Studies show that improper disposal of waste results in un-aesthetic, unhygienic and other health-related issues in developing nations. In addition, waste is usually generated as a result of daily activities of humans and animals; and in developing countries, the generation of waste per unit of output is much higher than that of the developed countries; and coupled with this is the challenge of effectively integrating a solid waste management system in South Africa. This paper reviewed and analysed literature to provide a theoretical framework for understanding waste and the role that digitisation could play in its management. The research shows that sustainable and digital waste monitoring can be achieved in South Africa if there is a proper plan, effective environmental policy and cooperation between the government, private sector, partners and the citizens. Moreover, if waste handling can be harnessed into a local economic development opportunity, its handlers and generators could be persuaded to manage the waste differently and properly. This would, further, create employment and revenue generation opportunities as well as a greener environment.

Abstract

Household waste (HW) forms a vital part of municipal solid waste (MSW), and the inadequate management of HW poses a serious challenge in many developing cities. A study of the composition of HW is therefore vital in designing an effective solid waste management plan for cities and towns. A waste composition study is also important as estimating waste types produced and treatments applied can be an important tool for discerning what technology can be utilised for waste management trends. The study evaluated the composition of household solid waste generation in Joe Slovo township (JST) using a mixed-method research design to identify waste characteristics. The study's methodology included evaluating literature and administering structured questionnaires. The data were analysed using SPSS and presented in simple tables and charts. The waste typology produced by the residents are metals, papers, bottles, plastic materials, and food remains, among others. In addition, most waste typology produced by JST is recyclable. The results revealed that JST has no significant difference in the type of waste produced when comparing male and female respondents. The study recommends that the waste typology generated by JST can be utilised as a resource to develop economic income through recycling.
