Solid Waste Management
Updating the Solid Waste Management, Collection and
Transportation
Background
Some important recommendations have been made through the Master Plan for
Municipal Solid Waste in the Greater Irbid Municipality.
It is currently possible to improve the performance of waste collection in anticipation
of the governmental strategic plan through the elaboration of the following tasks.
Institutional/Organizational
- Written procedures, description of tasks, and thus assessment of staff
performance, specific routes for waste collection and transport, container
locations, electronic data processing, and monitoring and evaluation of data;
- Increased level of knowledge and skills of employees and training;
- Identification of clear lines of responsibility of the staff concerned between
administrations and informal departments;
- A mentorship program for newly appointed municipal staff and written
procedures to assess staff performance;
- The current 23-sector waste collection and transport organization should be
reviewed to provide services in a cost-effective manner.
Solid Waste Collection Routes and Container Locations
- Maps should be available for the collection and transport of wastes with their
routes and container locations;
- The container location should be planned;
- The optimal movement of waste collection and data optimization should be
assessed.

Maintenance and Repair
- Schedule a technical inspection of vehicles and equipment;
- Solid waste is collected by mechanisms from different sources, and therefore many spare parts must be purchased, a
task that takes time and additional cost.
The cost of collection and transportation
Greater Irbid Municipality collects more than 600 tons of waste per day that is steadily increasing as a result of the
continuously increasing population, affecting the proportion of organic materials (67%) and inorganic recyclable ones (33%,
comprising of plastic, glass, metal etc.). The municipality transports these wastes to the landfill, which is about 35 km away
from it, thereby costing about JOD 40 per day per ton, amounting at an annual total cost of about JOD 8,760,000. This
includes the annual cost of fuel consumption for waste transportation that reaches JOD 700,000.
