Abstract :
Management of solid refuse is a crucial issue confronting nation worldwide. Improper waste management can have
devastating effects on the environment and human health. Liberia and China are two countries that confront significant
difficulties in managing their landfill waste. In Liberia, the absence of a legal framework for waste management is a
significant barrier to the effective management of municipal solid refuse.
As a consequence, waste in Liberia is dumped carelessly on street corners and in bodies of water. Due to a lack of
skilled technical human capacity, inadequate budgetary allocation for waste operations, and a lack of adequate waste
minimization facilities, landfilling is the primary means of waste disposal in Liberia. The majority of China's solid refuse is
disposed of in landfills. However, the management of landfill sites in China is frequently inadequate, with less than 20% of
landfill methane collected and approximately 47% of landfill leachate untreated.
Challenges in Waste Management Both Liberia and China face significant waste management challenges. The
absence of a legal framework for waste management in Liberia is a significant obstacle. Due to the absence of a legal
framework, trash is dumped indiscriminately on street corners and in bodies of water.
