Furthermore, information was collected by means of exercises
provided to participants during workshops including questions
about the stakeholders and the state of the solid waste management system in the city in relation to the elements, the aspects
and the problems associated with them. Waste management practices were followed by on-site visits of households, hospitals, offices and schools, construction sites, health care centers, agricultural
and commercial areas. The following characteristics were noted:
collection and transportation systems, waste treatment procedures, identification of materials for reuse and recycling and final
disposal facilities. The findings were presented, analyzed and validated with relevant stakeholders from the visited cities.
