BEST PRACTICES ON SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT OF NEPALESE CITIES
Conclusions and lessons learnt
This is a very simple and safe process for reducing and
recycling plastic. This movement concentrates on
recovering plastic waste and earns a considerable
income by selling it for recycling. Furthermore, it is
also creating jobs for five persons and improving the
urban environment. This NGO's approach for waste
separation has helped citizens to understand the solid
waste management system. Organisations like Practical
Action, GTZ-UDLE, and UNDP have played a supportive
role. Finally, appropriate training and clarifying roles
and responsibilities of the stakeholders are important
steps towards sustainable management practice.
Replicable best practice
After seeing what has been achieved, residents of other
wards of Bharatpur municipality are showing interest.
This encourages confidence that it can be replicated in
other urban centres of Nepal.
