Abstract
The objective of this study is to assess the solid waste
management system in Khartoum locality Bearing in mind that Solid
waste , especially municipal solid waste is a growing problem in
Khartoum locality due to the rapid increase in the City population
and the inadequate waste management system.
Different stages of the municipal solid waste system that are
currently practiced by the authorities were analyzed and focus was
made on the protective measures that are currently applied at both
of the Old and the New landfill sites in West Omdurman. No
environmental protection measures were found in the Old landfill
site, while the new site is properly designed especially with regards to
landfill gas extraction and combustion. However the New site does
not take into consideration any protective measures against
leachate pollution.
The study recommended numbers of actions to be taken in
order to improve the performance of the solid waste management
system in Khartoum locality: Establishment of environmental
strategies and policies and enhancement of private sector
participation to increase the overall system efficiency and an
immediate actions of fencing of the Old site.
