1.0 Abstract
Based on research, products have changed over the years from
being reusable to being disposal. This strategy has influenced
negative factors that have greatly affected the environment. The
disposal of solid waste products has been the major cause of
pollution in the current world. Since the year 1990s, it is
evident that millions of people have doubled their output of
solid waste to the environment in different ways. Research
shows that 75% of waste comes from the mining waste while
other 12% comes from agricultural materials. The other 9% is
from industries and 4% from municipal waste. In that case, the
approach of solid management is very important because it is
necessary for safety of human health and environment.
Key words: solid waste management, disposal, recycling, and
environmental health.
1.1 Introduction
The issue of solid waste management is a very important

2. approach nowadays. Based on research, it is evident that very
little attention is paid to solid waste disposed on landfills. As a
result, the environment has faced more than a few issues such as
poor health and desertification. This approach has negatively
affected the health of more than a few people globally because
solid waste has a huge impact to the environment. It is clear
that the problem and danger of solid waste is always
underestimated by the government and the society at large.
Therefore, it important for people to understand the importance
of solid waste management because the dangers mainly remain
under estimated. Solid waste management plays a pivotal role in
the society given the fact that it results in the improvement of
the waste management, collection and disposal practices.
1.2 Explanation
As a result of increased cases of solid waste disposal, the
government has come up with considerable measures that will
ensure that management of solid waste is efficient. A number of
people are not aware of the negative effects that these disposals
can cause in their lives and the environment as well. As a result
of increased issues linked to solid waste, the government should
put in place specific planning and cost analysis metrics in an
effort to address the waste management menace. One such
metric is the adoption of an integrated solid waste management
(ISWM) program that forms the basis of the paper.
It is evident that a single waste management strategy is suitable
for managing all types of waste in all circumstances. Research
shows that most people globally believe that they have done
everything eliminate waste such recycling in their homes.
However, recycling is not the answer to waste that is disposed
in the landfills. The major objective of solid waste management
is to ensure that solid waste is eliminated from the environment
in order to ensure that environment is conserved
properly(USEPA, 2002).
Reducing solid waste and pollution in an organization is not an
essay task. It is evident that the chances of reducing solid waste
and pollution are limitless in any business organization.

3. However, there are three major ways that can be used to reduce
solid waste within an organization. The three ways include:-
· Resource management contracting - This will ensure that the
company uses its products well.
· Designing an approach for desecrate reduction and recycling –
this approach will ensure all solid wastes are disposed in a
considerable manner.
· Implement solid waste and pollution management policy – a
policy will ensure that solid waste and pollution are controlled.
This can be achieved through the use of power or authority.
Disposing the materials would require expenses such as
transportation, disposal, and other considerable factors in order
to meet the required needs. For instance, disposal of 150 gallon
paint placed in boxes would approximately require $ 6700.00.
The expenditure required to dispose the waste of the site is
numerous. However, with the aid of hazardous and non-
hazardous waste management, the charges of bulking the waste
can be reduced or cut shot in order to create room for extra
disposal (Royal Society of Chemistry, 2002).
Acceding to the study by USEPA (2002), there are both positive
and negative effects of waste management to the environment.
These are; pollution of human health and the environment,
increased waste generation, and increased greenhouse gas
emissions from poor waste management. In the year 2002,
USEPA observed the best way to conserve environments is
through management. Therefore, USEPA partnered with Centre
of Waste Management globally in order to implement and put
into effect solid waste management policies. Apparently, issues
of environmental health are caused by human activity such
industries, automobile, pollution and solid waste disposal. In
that case, USEPA is progressively taking action to prevent and
reduce deaths and infirmity due to contact of environmental
pollutions. However, the initial plan of USEPA is to end these
calamities before people are exposed to different dangers.
Pollution is rampant as a result of solid waste is a factor that
continues to affect the world(USEPA, 2002).

4. All these challenges out of solid waste management can be
contained by the use of the ISWM program in place. It is
because the ISWM program is comprised of various characters
namely waste prevention, recycling, composting and disposal
(USEPA, 2002). The goal of the program is to prevent waste
generation, collecting, reprocessing and recovery of waste
materials and landfilling and combustion activities of
unpreventable and unrecyclable. ISWM program has
approximated that more than 24% of the health issues are
caused by solid waste disposed to the environment. ISWM
program in collaboration with other organizations developed an
action plan for environmental health in order to progress global
environment for current occupants and future generations. The
action plan is intended to offer a central summit for the
endeavors of municipal agencies towards the significant
objective of reducing the environmental burden of diseases.
Environmental analysts and scientists are making different
targets in order to ensure safety management, health and
implementation of a new environment (Royal Society of
Chemistry, 2002).
1.3Objections
The insufficiency of appropriate measures in place to sustain
the solid waste management services in various parts of the
world is an inconvenience. It affects natural resources, life
support systems, social harmony, human rights, economic
growth and public participation in decision-making (Baud, Post
& Furedy, 2004). The ineffective on the government raise
serious concerns on the ability of the concerned authority to
handle the issue. Solid waste management strategy is intended
to unite the people globally to identify and implement steps of
protecting the environment from pollution and health risks.
Apparently, U.S federal agency together other states globally
have cooperated in order to find the best solution to nation’s
environmental challenges. The U.S government agency has a
related strategy that provides farther support in the
implementation of new environment and health management.

5. Within the past years, the U.S government agency together with
ISWM program has completed several action plan and strategies
to protect the environment(USEPA, 2002).
Integrated solid waste management (ISWM) has discussed the
relation between environmental risk appraisal and disaster risk
management as major as the major factors resulting to human
health issues and environmental damage. Conversely, ISWM
administration proposed to focus on the internal risks such as
solid pesticide cans which negatively contribute in health
danger situations. Nevertheless, ISWM continues to alter
biosphere, changes in environment in particular areas and at
ecology levels in order to ensure that health is inflicted. Risk
assessment by ISWM determines the nature and degree of risk
by analyzing possible problems and evaluating existing
circumstances of susceptible that could create prospective
threats or damage to inhabitants, property, living, and the
surroundings they depend on. ISWM focuses on minor problems
that can result to future problems such climate change. ISWM
has come up with different strategies to protect natural
environment which contribute significantly to human
health(USEPA, 2002).
1.4Reply to Objections
Despite the growing disbelief in the measure put in place by the
government concerning the containment of the waste
management, there are solid programs that help a lot. The uses
of the Waste hierarchy are greatly helping to contain the issue
raised effectively. Through the program, messages about waste
management sustainability in urban areas are communicated to
the target audience (Baud, Post & Furedy, 2004). The content of
the messages is information on how avoid, reduce, reuse,
recycle and dispose of waste. In addition, the idea behind solid
waste management is based on protecting the environment from
factors such as pollution, deforestation, fire, diseases etc. solid
waste management enhances several strategies and plans of
protecting the environment from pollution. In addition, solid
waste management plan should ensure workers are treated in

6. order to ensure health security and other living organisms of
ecology (Tchobanoglous, Theisen, & Vigil, 1993).
Every administration/government globally should surpass use of
solid cans of pesticides which greatly affects people’s health
and the environment. Solid waste pollution can result to diverse
consumption of natural resources such as water contamination.
One of the major objective and goals in the solid waste
management organizations is to protect the ozone layer affected
by burned solid which produce emission of gases. Climate
change has resulted to several effects such as deaths of fishes in
the oceans as a result of emissions from solid waste. However,
solid waste management course in America has shown delegates
on how to end the key problems facing human health and
environment. Apparently, solid chemical cans free environment
enhances the ability to reduce the force of climatic change and
artificial disaster. U.S. government agency has resolved to
appoint new solid waste manager’s to control production and
manufacturing industries in order to reduce the risk
environment pollution and effect of the ozone layer which
increases the effect of environmental issuesas a result of toxic
gases that are emitted from burned solid wastes(Royal Society
of Chemistry, 2002).
1.5Methods and measures
Climate change result to over 80% of infections to the living
organisms as a result of solid waste causes dangers in their
health due to disease infections. Therefore, ISWM ought to
supply trucks to different industries in order to minimize
environmental pollution by collecting solid waste in the
landfills. Trucks that will collect solid waste from the landfills
will significantly contribute to conservation of the environment.
In addition, ISWM agency should restricted burning of solid
waste in public since the key factor that to human health
problems. In addition, ISWM agency should enhance the
scientific understanding of environmental health risks. This
approach will significantly influence growth and developments
in more than a few areas where landfills has been a major

7. problem. Through solid waste management, administrations will
save currency in due course. This approach will protect
inhabitants from internal contamination by being aware of how
fabric replacement, aeration requirements, and use of property
influence indoor air quality in new buildings (In Singh, & In
Ramanathan,2010).
Data collection shows that 70% of environmental aspects have
been wasted over the past 30 years or so. Due to high solid
contamination, agriculture has been affected since people can
no longer practice the activity in landfills and this is believed to
be a major economic action. States like United Arabs Emirates
(UAE) have imported food severally due to harsh climatic
conditions which has greatly contributed to food shortage
because there are no lands to practice agriculture. UAE exports
56% of its resources globally. Natural resources consumed
within the country are less than 31%. Conversely, worst part of
it is few investments within the country. UAE focuses on
environmental preservation in order to secure environmental
health. UAE environmental risks as a result of solid waste have
resulted to great effects on people’s health for a long period of
time (Baud & Furedy, 2004).
Conclusion
Due to economic growth in most states, solid waste in rapidly
becoming a major issue globally. Therefore, it is clear that more
than a few people are generally at great risks of being exposed
to several physical, chemical, and natural hazards that may
result to illness. Developing projects are the key factors that
have contributed significantly to solid waste pollution to the
environment. However, USEPA and Centre of Waste
Management have come up with different strategies to prevent
solid waste pollution. Invention of factories globally is the
major factor contributing to increase in solid waste to the
environment. Planned population settlement and urbanization in
America has come up with different strategies to protect the
environment from solid waste pollution. Solid waste
management was basically was designed to help and guide the

8. world in protecting the environment for the health of the
existing and future generations. Effects of solid waste without
action plans are difficult to tackle.
