ABSTRACT
The study set out to investigate the effects of Public-Private Partnership on waste management in the Ho Municipality. The study is a descriptive research of how waste management is carried out by both public and private sectors in the municipality. It aims at presenting relevant information on the effectiveness of Public-Private Partnership in waste management. The study covered 129 respondents made up of 89 households in the municipality, 20 market women, 10 Environment Officers, and 10 Zoomlion staff. Purposive and simple random sampling techniques were employed to select the respondents. The main instruments used to gather data were interview schedules and interview guide. The main factors that contributed to ineffective waste management were the indiscriminate dumping of waste on the streets, in streams and undeveloped lands within the municipality; and inadequate public toilet facilities for residents in the municipality. Even though the Public-Private Partnership was the preferred option for the waste management, the services offered were unsatisfactory in some parts of the municipality due to irregular collection of waste at the dumping points and lack of waste containers. The study recommended prioritization of education sensitization, and location of more waste collection points, more waste containers be placed at vantage points, creation of competition to remove the monopoly of the current service provider, and enforcement of rules and regulations by the appropriate agents and departments.
