Abstract |
|
This study was concerned with determining the effectiveness of domestic solid waste management system of Dangamvura 3 High Density Suburb, City of Mutare. Research participants were randomly selected. The study used the Mixed Methods Methodological Approach, and adopted the Case Study Research Design. Data was collected through the use of questionnaires, observations, and guided interviews, and documentary analysis. The study found that domestic solid waste management system was inefficient and ineffective, and above all grossly inadequate. Consequently, they were environmental-health risks, such as dysentery and malaria. The study found that the inefficiency of the management system was largely due to financial and human resources. |
