Tiivistelmä
The rapid economic and industrial growth in developing countries like Cameroon has led
to a huge problem when it comes to municipal solid waste management; as such this
research project was aimed at examining the municipal solid waste management by
Hygiene et salubrite du Cameroun (HYSACAM) in Buea - Cameroon, through the review
of articles on municipal waste management and visits of the various dump sites in the Buea
Municipality. I did a review of municipal solid waste management in Finland which helps
in making recommendations. Findings from this study reveal that the Buea Municipality
partnered with a waste management company HYSACAM to help reduce the poor
condition of waste disposal in the environment, yet the municipality was still faced with
ills related to waste management. All this attributed to limited personnel’s, lack of
effective legislation, limited equipment’s, and lack of community participation. I did
recommend that community participation should be enhanced through massive
sensitization; effective laws should also be put in place to govern effective waste
management. HYSACAM should also employ and train its personnel’s and also buy
effective equipment’s.
