Involving micro- and small enterprises

This book is for managers, engineers and administrators who have some responsibility for municipal solid waste management, and who are looking for ways to improve the service or economise. It covers the "Why?" and "How?" of involving new entrepreneurs and small community-based groups in the collection of solid wastes (garbage) from streets, homes and businesses. The book is primarily concerned with situations found in middle- and lower- income countries, and draws extensively on experiences in Latin America, South-east Asia and Africa.
