In the last 2 years, inadequate waste disposal, environmental issues on landfill and the wanton discharge of hazardous waste have surfaced and caused the Government waste generation and management it is not sustainable. The problem is now 0.8 kg while it is even higher in the urban areas with 1.5 kg per person per day.

Waste is one of the biggest environmental issues faced by most cities in developing countries.
