"This book and these notes are built around the concept of integrated and sustainable (solid) waste management, known as ISWM. ...Three interrelated requirements for delivering ISWM are distinguished here, namely the need: „„ to be inclusive, involving all the stakeholders; „„ for the system to be financially sustainable, i.e. both cost-effective and affordable; and „„ for sound institutional arrangements and good governance."
