Background Information
Definitions• Solid waste is the useless or unwanted material arising
from various human activities, normally solids or semi-solids.
• Solid waste collection can be defined as the transfer of solid waste from the point of production to the point of treatment or landfill.
• Illegal dumping involves discarding solid waste in a location other than at a recycling center or permitted disposal site.
• Solid waste collection point in this study is used to refer to a point of temporary storage of solid waste resulting majorly from street sweeping and also direct dumping from points of generation.

Background Information
• Increase in trade activities in the CBD has led to increase in solid waste production. This has led to a great challenge in solid waste collection.
• There is need for effective and efficient solid waste collection information system.
• To achieve this, optimal location of solid waste collection points is essential.
• There is need for an efficient solid waste collection information system.

Background Information
• Solid waste collection in the CBD is under the Department of Environment, in Nairobi City council.
• It involves two major activities namely, litter collection and its transportation.
• Litter collection entails street sweeping and collection using litter bins.
• Waste from street sweeping is moved manually to collection points using wheeled bins and/or wheel barrows.
• Collected waste is transported from collection points and litter bins to the main dumpsite, located at Dandora, in Nairobi.

Problem Statement
• Solid waste collection points are inequitably distributed and inadequate.
• There exist numerous illegal dumpsites in some zones in the CBD.
• Inappropriate solid waste collection information system is also a challenge.
• Poor spatial and non-spatial data linkage.

Conclusion
• A digital map showing the spatial location and distribution of collection points was drawn.
• The illegal dumpsites were mapped for visualization purposes• A map showing distances from the collection points was obtained
from distance analysis.• Successful suitability analysis carried out in this study led to the
determination of suitability of various sites for collection points location.
• Road and river buffers maps were also made.• This study demonstrates how powerful GIS is in spatial- and non-
spatial database integration, management and analysis to identify trends and problems and making appropriate decisions.

Recommendations
• The number of collection points should be increased, and located in the suitable places proposed in this study.
• The identified illegal dumpsites should be eliminated if effectiveness in solid waste collection is to be realized.
• GIS should be adopted in solid waste collection management.
