Waste management practices in developing countries should be seriously considered due to their inadequate management. Particularly, waste management practices in low-income and medium-income in developing countries, including collection services, have an overall rate below 50%. Collection services are restricted to apparent areas in several cases. Landfills are not appropriately constructed. Open dumpsites of waste are also a widespread practice in several countries. Waste is regularly burned, especially e-waste, with serious health consequences for residents and workers and contamination to air, water, and soil. They are leading to complex series of multiple environmental problems. These disposal and informal recycling practices are a high pollution source to aquifers and surrounding water bodies, and agricultural soil. Recycling activities such as informal recycling by waste pickers and recycling by the informal sector are also widely practiced. An example from the Middle East and North African (MENA) region shows that the waste management situation in Jordan (a MENA member) is 85% of the waste is disposed of in uncontrolled landfilled sites, 8% is openly dumped in which open burning is often practiced, and the remainder is informally recycling. Twenty landfill sites exist in the country. Only one landfill disposes of 35% of the country’s waste considered sanitary landfall (controlled or well-engineered); it was set up in 2009.
