Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

This research proposes for the introduction of a recycling system in The Gambia to enhance sustainable municipal solid waste management. Co-operation with and support of the informal recycling sector could lead to reduction in the amount of waste requiring disposal (Baud & Post, 2003). Water samples collected from within and around the dump site showed a high level of fecal and total Coli form, shown on table 1.
