^INTRODUCTION^
When we talk about air or water pollution, the reactions garnered are
stronger. This is because we can see the effects caused by the pollutants
and their extent very clearly. It is normal human psychology to believe in
what you see first hand. Our land on the other hand is living a nightmare
too. We may not be able to see the effects with clarity, but land is being
polluted and abused constantly and we are unable to calculate the
damages incurred. Land Pollution has come to become one of the serious
concerns that we collectively battle.

#FINANCIAL FUNDING
Using the city’s population of 24,779 people (ZIMSTA, 2012), it means
Kwekwe Council collects US$52 035.90 per month. This amount is
expended on the following: workers’ 94 salaries for approximately 53
workers excluding top management staff, and wages; repairing vehicles;
fuel for transporting the refuse; detergents and other chemicals, workers’
protective clothing among other expenses.

The following practices are recommended for those seeking to improve
their operations and maximise on profits:
#Effective Routing
Good routing and service scheduling significantly improves the
efficiency and profitability of any solid waste collection and
management operations. Designing the route for waste collection
before actual collection is important because it gives you an
opportunity to get rid of potential obstacles to the business and
helps you to keep costs to the minimum or have a very cost-effective
waste collection system. When deciding on the best and most
appropriate route; certain factors typical for the particular residential
area, locality/suburb/neighbourhood must be considered. These
factors include some of the following:
ii. Solid waste must be collected at least twice and thrice every
seven (7) days in low income and high-income residential areas
respectively, to break the breeding cycle of disease vectors like
houseflies.
iii. Waste should not be left standing at shopping centres for more
than 48 hours. Another proposal is the use of skip bins at
designated place such as Mbizo Shopping Centre, a place which is
central in Mbizo residential areas. The place is central and
accessible
#Recommendations and directions for
future research
Due to the complex nature of SWM systems extensive data for
different scenarios are required. Therefore, further investigations
and verification are needed. Directions for future research emerging
from this study include:
