Decentralized Solid Waste Management (DSWM) is a strategy for providing a clean environment and sanitary living conditions by minimizing waste at the source. Decentralizing the waste-to-value facilities close to where the waste is being generated offers significant advantages. The waste logistics costs are reduced by up to 50% due to shorter transportation distances. Decentralized waste management is about each community managing and processing their waste in their locality and not sending it all to a centralized large processing facility or often landfill.
