This study
investigates the ways of improving the effectiveness of the recently
constructed waste treatment plants in Turkey. Many municipalities have made
large public investments on modern solid waste treatment plants. These plants,
designed to process hundred tons of waste per day, positively contribute to
both the environment and the economy. However, the inefficiencies in other
waste management activities (e.g. waste collection, transportation) could limit
these plants’ contributions, making it a priority to identify and remove the
bottlenecks in the municipal solid waste system. This study examines the municipal
solid waste system of Manisa, including the recently constructed Uzunburun
Solid Waste Treatment Plant. Interviews with municipal public managers were
conducted to shed light on bottlenecks that could limit the effectiveness of
Uzunburun Plant. Then, integrated solid waste management framework was used to
reveal possible ways to remove these bottlenecks. According to results,
socio-cultural issues are of prime importance; however, the effects of actions
addressing these issues are only observable in the long-term. Nevertheless, the
results show that improvements can be made in a shorter-time period through
some technical, legal, and institutional steps.
