The rapid growing population and high urbanisation rates in Sub-Saharan Africa has caused enormous pressure on collection services of the generated waste in the urban areas. This has put a burden on landfilling, which is the major waste disposal method. Waste reduction, re-use and recycling opportunities exist but are not fully utilized. The common items that are re-used and re-cycled are plastics, paper, aluminum, glass, steel, cardboard, and yard waste. This paper develops an overview of reverse logistics at Kiteezi landfill, the only officially recognised waste disposal facility for Kampala City. The paper analyses, in details the collection, re-processing, re-distribution and final markets of these products into a reversed supply chain network. Only 14% of the products at Kiteezi landfill are channeled into the reverse chain while 63% could be included in the distribution chain but are left out and disposed of while the remaining 23% is buried. This is because of the low processing power available, lack of market value, lack of knowledge and limited value addition activities to the products. This paper proposes possible strategies of efficient and effective reverse logistics development, applicable to Kampala City and other similar cities.
撒哈拉以南非洲地区人口的快速增长和高度城市化率给城市地区产生的垃圾收集服务带来了巨大压力。这给作为主要垃圾处理方式的填埋带来了负担。存在减少垃圾、再利用和回收的机会，但并未得到充分利用。常见的再利用和回收物品有塑料、纸张、铝、玻璃、钢铁、硬纸板和庭院垃圾。本文概述了基特齐垃圾填埋场的逆向物流情况，该填埋场是坎帕拉市唯一官方认可的垃圾处理设施。本文详细分析了这些产品在逆向供应链网络中的收集、再加工、再分配和最终市场情况。在基特齐垃圾填埋场，只有14%的产品进入逆向链条，63%的产品本可纳入分销链却被遗漏并处理掉，其余23%则被掩埋。这是因为可用的处理能力低、缺乏市场价值、缺乏相关知识以及产品增值活动有限。本文提出了适用于坎帕拉市及其他类似城市的高效有效逆向物流发展的可能策略。
