Journal Title: Engineering and Technology Journal - Year 2018, Vol 3, Issue 7
Abstract
The annual report issued by the City of Tshwane for the financial year 2016/2017 shows that overall efficiency in the management of municipal solid waste generated by businesses operating in the various parts of Tshwane is undermined by the failure of businesses to comply with municipal bylaws. Businesses that operate in the various parts of Tshwane generate large volumes and varieties of municipal solid waste. The waste generated by businesses is not processed and recycled adequately. Private waste collectors do not play a major role in the processing and recycling of municipal solid waste. The key objective of study was to assess and evaluate the extent to which waste generated by businesses operating in Tshwane was collected, sorted and processed efficiently. The structural time-based model, log-linear analysis and factor analysis were used for identifying and quantifying the top 3 predictors of efficiency in7 the management of municipal solid waste. The study found that the key obstacle to the efficient management of municipal solid waste was lack of adherence to municipal bylaws on municipal solid waste management. The average time spent at waste collection site by a municipal waste collection truck was 1.22 minutes. The average time spent by a municipal waste collection truck for turning to and from a designated waste collection site to the nearest corner on the street was 0.11 minutes. The average time spent at the nearest intersection outside the business premises that took part in the study by municipal waste collection trucks was 0.23 minutes. The results showed that efficiency in waste management varied significantly by type of waste (23%) and geographical zone (18%).
