How does waste affect everyday life?

Waste is not just an aesthetic issue. When not managed properly, it becomes a source of pollution, disease, and financial burden. Its negative impact is felt by everyone—whether living in urban or rural areas.

Illegal dumpsites threaten water sources, attract harmful insects and animals, and are often located near residential areas. Improper food waste disposal contributes to methane emissions—a powerful greenhouse gas that drives climate change. E-waste, if not treated properly, contains toxic substances that end up in our soil and water.

A lack of adequate bins and containers, unregulated landfills, and poor public awareness contribute to daily stress, lower quality of life, and sometimes even community conflicts.

That’s why CETAP doesn’t only focus on the technical aspects of waste management but also emphasizes the health and well-being of communities. Through on-site visits and collaboration with local stakeholders, we identify key issues and work on solutions that bring real, tangible improvements.
