The main objective of the study was to investigate the effectiveness of the strategies
employed by the City of Harare in household solid waste management. To achieve
these, structured questionnaires, interviews, observations and focus group discussions
were employed in data gathering together with secondary data. The study was
conducted in Harare’s low, medium and high density income suburbs. Findings revealed
that organic solid waste constituted the largest proportion of waste generated in Harare
and other forms are also generated yet their collection is very minimal. Residents resort
to illegal night dumping, resulting in the proliferation of associated diseases. In light of
these findings, it was recommended that waste collection entities be capacitated,
people be educated on waste recycling, reduction and reusing. A commission was to be
put in place to ensure proper enforcement of waste legislation, effective and sustainable
day in running of household solid waste management in the city / Environmental Sciences / M.Sc. (Environmental Management)
