After analyzing the study results, Iraq needs stations for sorting and transporting waste and stations for recycling plastic, paper and metals. Also, there is a need for sanitary landfills compatible with environmental conditions, and the municipality should play a greater role and give the private sector a greater role in the solid waste management process and overcome obstacles that hinder the work of investment companies, in addition to raising community awareness through holding educational workshops. For example, in schools and universities to spread environmental awareness in the community. | |
