The researchers studied how solid waste is managed in Dilla Town, Southern Ethiopia. They surveyed residents and waste operators, and found that most of the waste generated is organic. They also discovered that there are problems with waste segregation and disposal. The study suggests that the town can convert organic waste into fertilizer through composting. To improve waste management, the researchers recommend creating awareness, providing equipment, and implementing better policies. The findings can help policymakers and the town municipality address the growing issue of waste management in urban areas.
