The project guide provides information and procedures for planning and implementation of solid waste management improvements. It is designed to facilitate project preparation, appraisal and implementation of Bank financed solid waste projects in urban areas. Current Bank objectives, policies, and project requirements are summarized. It should also be of use to a wide audience involved in solid waste collection and disposal in developing countries. The project guide reflects the lessons and experience gained from World Bank solid waste projects. The text discusses establishment of an acceptable standard of collection and disposal service delevery, selection of appropriate technology, development of suitably phased action plans, arrangement of institutions for planning and management, arrangement of financial resources, development of regulatory and enforcement support services, provision of public education and participation programs, and incorporation of incentives and disincentives to facilitate project success. Information on solid waste generation rates and compositions for countries of various levels of economic development is provided. Case study information on the formal and informal sector refuse collection and disposal activities prevalent in cities of developing countries is provided. Problems and issues to investigate when planning are highlighted through case study examples. Annexes to the project guide include sample terms of reference for consultants, a data collection workbook for planning technical and management improvements, and worksheets for calculating municipal budget requirements to maintain, upgrade and expand solid waste management service..
