Abstract
As society continues to demand for clean environment and municipal solid waste is produced and accumulated due to industrial development and human activities, severe ecological contamination will result unless a MSW code of practice is developed and applied. In this context, many challenges will be encountered unless effective public participation without enforcement is realized. Stakeholders’ responsibility will be defined, and awareness program and alternative regimes were studied. Structured interview and public consultation were designed and analyzed. It was found that users must recognize the limitations and risks of adopting less representative management regimes and of applying uncontrolled MSWM system. Benefits of public participation in design, implementation, and review of MSWM code of practice are summarized to meet specific objectives and to gain a better understanding of the MSW hierarchy.
