The administrative state
for solid waste management
There is no limited administrative division for solid waste
management in Syrian units ,
Damascus governorate has formed specialized directorate in
managing solid waste while waste management in ( Aleppo,
Homs , Lattakia ,Hama , Tartous ,and others cities ) is done by
cleaning department follow to the president of city council
directly or to health affairs directorate .

The financial of solid waste management
The administrative units depend on cleaning fees to finance
solid waste management ,
this fees are ( 75 – 500 ) s.p per house.
All this fees cover only a small part of collecting and
disposing of the waste budget so this units almost depend on
there common budget
