Solid waste management has become a global public concern. According to the World Bank in 2020, the world was estimated to generate 2.24 billion tonnes of solid waste, amounting to a footprint of 0.79 kilograms per person per day. With rapid population growth and urbanization, annual waste generation is expected to increase by 73% from 2020 levels to 3.88 billion tonnes in 2050 while compared to those in developed nations, residents in developing countries especially the urban poor, are more severely impacted by unsustainably managed waste. This assertion is true for a developing country like Ghana and the La Dade-Kotopon Municipality.
