Ayuk, Nkem A1 - Ernest, Enow T1 - The Legal Aspect of Waste Management in Cameroon with Focus on the Buea Municipality T2 - Journal of Geoscience and Environmental Protection N2 - Waste production remains an inevitable part of human activity on earth. The history of waste reveals that high levels of urbanisation, sustained urban growth and increasing residential neighbourhoods remain commensurate to poor sanitation and quality of life if proper measures are not taken. This pa per therefore examines the legal practices involved in waste management and to understand the challenges faced as well as propose solutions towards an improved waste management system. The work constitutes mainly secondary source data that includes the existing laws on waste management in Came roon and other documents relating to waste from different ministries. The residents of Buea and workers of the waste management company were inter viewed to get their views on waste management in Buea. Also, field observa tions were made to compare results with field realities. The collected data was analysed using the content analysis and descriptive techniques. Results ob tained proved that there exist well stated laws for waste management in Ca meroon. However, there is poor implementation of the existing laws with evi dence of waste littering within neighbourhoods and along the streets. This study concludes that there should be proper sensitization of the public about existing laws and to strengthen the waste management process with use of the laws. An all-integrated approach with active community participation was rec ommended as a way out towards sustainable waste management in Buea KW - Waste Management KW - Waste Law KW - Ressources KW - Cameroon KW - Buea KW - Subsahara Africa KW - Waste Sorting KW - Sustainable Waste Management KW - Recycling Y1 - 2022 UR - https://www.scirp.org/pdf/gep_2022080910052746.pdf U6 - https://doi.org/10.4236/gep.2022.108002 SN - 2327-4344 SN - 2327-4336 VL - 10 IS - 8 SP - 9 EP - 23 ER -
