Conclusion
With such an integrative proposal developed within this study, the researcher highly recommends that it to
be considered for future planning of waste management systems in the country. It is apparent that decisions
on how to manage waste growth within cities and countries worldwide is increasingly growing in difficulty,
as such, the need to address the issue as soon as possible is a need to be met by both public and private
sectors as well. Also, there should be more advertisements about how serious this matter is and how
dangerous it is to the environment and public health.
The proposed of the Integrated Solid Waste Management (ISWM) therefore holds a framework that has been
studied, evaluated and analyzed for the waste management in the Kingdom of Bahrain.
