Article Synopsis
- Tehran, the capital of Iran, produced over 2.6 million tons of solid waste in 2005, with municipal waste making up more than 97% of this total, and households contributing around 62.5% of the municipal waste.
- The municipality oversees waste management in Tehran, primarily relying on landfilling, with limited recycling and composting efforts; an informal sector also collects recyclable materials.
- Major challenges include improving hospital waste management, enhancing public education on waste separation and reduction, training municipal workers, and fostering collaboration with private sectors for better waste management practices.
