Waste management is one of the key challenges of uncontrolled urbanization in Nepal. Many urban areas in Nepal face challenges in receiving basic services such as clean water supply, wastewater treatment and solid waste management. With respect to solid waste management, 66 percent of household waste is organic material, and, less than 30% of households are practicing segregation of waste and composting using customary approaches. It is estimated that about 90% of waste produced in Kathmandu could be recycled.
