Both wastewater (i.e., sewage) and solid waste [i.e., municipal solid waste (MSW)] pose health and environmental risks as a direct consequence of inadequate collection and treatment practices. In industrialized countries, most MSW and sewage are collected, reused, recycled, and energy recovered before disposal. The situation is different in the developing countries, where the collection and adequate disposal is not yet a reality for the majority of their populations and municipal treatment facilities are poorly developed.

The overall focus is on MSW, but municipal waste to energy solutions using sewage and agricultural wastes are also discussed.AbstractenDeveloping countryEnergy accessEnergy povertyMunicipal waste collection ratesWaste hierarchyUrban governanceUrbanizationBook ChapterStafford, W.
