This study aims to provide an overview of the current practices of
industrial solid waste management in the governorates of Nablus and
Ramallah & Al Bireh in Palestine, including its storage, collection, transport,
treatment and final disposal. Industrial solid wastes are stored in containers
(% 88.4) owned mostly by the municipalities and village councils) , and their
final disposal is performed on a daily basis for (39.4%) of industries. The
most problematic stage in the management of industrial solid waste is its final
disposal, which is made in a non- healthy way. The management practices
of industrial solid waste in the two governorates are inappropriate in many
aspects, and pose a threat to the local population and the environment,
as it is not separated properly, and the types of vehicles used to transport
them are not suitable, and methods of collecting them are inappropriate for
some industries.Some important actions to improve the current situation
should be performed, such as the treatment of hazardous solid waste, and
disposal of industrial solid waste in appropriate specific places.There
should be some kind of cooperation between the Palestinian Federation of
Industries and the local authorities in coordination with relevant institutions
in finding appropriate solutions for industrial solid waste management.
