Abstract
Tuvalu's waste management practices primarily rely on burying, burning, dumping, and landfilling. There is limited access to proper waste collection and disposal facilities, leading to environmental degradation and health hazards. Waste recovery is primarily carried out by the Solid Waste Agency of Tuvalu (DSW). Bulky waste, e-waste, green waste, used oils, and other materials are collected and stored at Tuvalu’s transfer station.
