Abstract
One of the ever present facts of human existence is the generation of wastes. People produce wastes in their homes, work places and leisure areas. Collection and disposal of these wastes have always been major concerns of societies, for both health and economic reasons. As global population increases at tremendous rates, waste generation throughout the world has also drastically increased; however, this problem is most acutely felt in the least developed countries (LDCs).
