| Abstract | In many developing countries, the resource potential of solid waste is not harnessed. However, it is known that recovery of solid waste for reuse and recycling can greatly reduce the pressure on meager waste management infrastructure. The focus of this research was to gather information which could be used to increase and expand the rate of material recovery from solid waste generated in the Sekondi-Takoradi metropolis of Ghana. This paper therefore presents a broad understanding of the key waste management processes, especially those related to recovery, reuse and recycling of solid waste. A detailed analysis of waste generation, recovery, reuse and recycling was done. The informal recycling market in Sekondi-Takoradi was also captured. Based on the findings of the research, it is possible to design waste recovery strategy for higher income and middle income communities where greater volumes of dry recyclable waste fractions are generated. |
