This research report was about the effectiveness of Solid Waste Management System at
Local Government Authorities in Tanzania, the case of Moshi Municipal Council. It
specifically describe the solid waste management systems deployed by Moshi Municipal
Council and assess the extent to which solid waste management systems enhance the
management of solid waste in the Municipality and challenges which impact on the
effectiveness of the solid waste management systems in the Municipality. The research
approach used is qualitative which was appropriate to the study as it helped the
researcher to collect data in the selected wards and process it without the use of any
statistical or mathematical operation. The research design used was case study design
which enabled the researcher to gather data on relatively large number of people at the
same time, for instance during the focus group discussion data were obtained from more
than four people in a group. Population of this study includes all people who have the
role in overseeing and managing the solid waste management systems in the
Municipality and all the selected wards. Data were collected by using both primary and
secondary sources. The major findings showed several systems that were used by the
Moshi Municipal Council to ensure both effective and efficient Solid Waste
Management in the area. For example, formulating of By-Laws, availability of cleanness
facilities, wards cleanness competitions as well as provision of incentives to cleaners.
The study recommends that, Moshi Municipal Council and the government of Tanzania
should prohibit the use and manufacturer of plastic bags because they contribute more in
environmental pollution. This will help to reduce the amount of waste collected in both
residential and commercial areas as it has been in Kigali Rwanda. The study concluded
that solid waste management systems are a major problem in developing countries
especially in Tanzania Municipalities. Studies conducted in other areas of the region
including Dar es Salaam, Arusha, Mbeya and Mwanza have exposed the problem to be
amongst the most urgent concerns which is clearly found to increase with the growing
cities of developing nations.. However the Moshi Municipal has proved to be more
efficient in dealing with the solid waste management issue than other Municipalities in
the country through different systems. |
