Abstract
This research will address the important pr oblem of waste management sector for the Municipality of Prishtina. Rapid urbani zation has made solid waste management a serious problem today. The perception of the people has always been that it is a responsibility of the local government bodies. Local authorities are bound to keep their area clean. For some time now, many municipa lities, city corporations and industries have been experimenting with several innov ative and participatory methods of Reduce, Reuse and Recycle waste. Pris htina has been experiencing enormous difficulties with garbage collection over past years and there are two main reasons: first local authorities do not have sufficient capacity to develop a waste management strategy and secondly there is not awareness of inhabitants over the importance of their role in the keeping city clean. Low collection coverage, unavailable transport services, and lack of suitable treatment, recycling and disposal facilitie s are responsible for unsatisfactory waste management, leading to water, land and air pollution, and for putting people and the environment at risk. This Re search project will involve all stakeholder of the waste management sector in the Municipality of Prishtina and finally the strategy and action plan. Finally the action plan will be develo ped where the mile stones will be settled for the better management in waste collection, waste reuse and waste recycling and will include: • Evaluation of available and practical alternatives and techniques, • Initiating a practical waste recycling me thodology, and promoti ng 3R management in the waste sector for the municipality • Preparation of Municipal Waste Management Action Plan and capacity building in this sector for the Municipality of Prishtina.
