Community-Based Management of Household Solid Waste for Harare, Zimbabwe: A System Dynamics Approach

Abstract

Community-based waste management (CBWM) is a waste decentralization approach that carries the potential to divert about two-thirds of household solid waste (HSW) from landfills. Although many studies have suggested this approach to waste management in the city, assessment studies to quantify its material recovery potential are yet to be conducted. This is the gap this study thus aimed to fill.
