Moreover, the population was small and everything was repaired and reused. As people began to produce items for their comfort and build houses, the population grew and cities burgeoned. According to National Waste & Recycling Association (2012), as population grew, waste production increased, and consequently emerging the necessity to develop waste disposal systems

Solid waste management Introduction to solid waste management Solid waste is the unwanted or useless solid materials generated from combined residential, industrial and commercial activities in a given area. It may be categorised according to its origin (domestic, industrial, commercial, construction or institutional); according to its contents (organic material, glass, metal, plastic paper etc); or according to hazard potential (toxic, non-toxin, flammable, radioactive, infectious etc). Management
The studied countries, cities and township are a mixture of cultures, creed, religions and they implement the variety of solid waste management systems. The outcome of this analytical research provides a comprehensive analysis on stakeholders and some key factors that affect those systems. Waste management involves a large number of different stakeholders, with different fields of interest. They all play a role in shaping the system of a city, but often it is seen only as a responsibility of the
Framework There are different categories of producers of hazardous waste, according to 40 CFR Part 261.5. The basic distinctions centre on the amounts of hazardous waste produced. These categories are: Large Quantity Generators (LQG): LQGs produce more than 1000 kilogram per month (kg/month) of hazardous waste or more than 1 kg/month of acutely hazardous waste. LQGs must obtain a US EPA identification number from state hazardous waste management agency or EPA regional office. They must comply with storage
