Centre for Developing Countries, Technical University of Denmark, Building 208, DK-2800 Lyngby, Denmark

This paper deals with the scavenging of solid wastes in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. It presents the generation, collection and disposal of wastes and the results of the scavenged wastes. Moreover, the socio-economic, health and organizational problems facing the scavengers are discussed. Three industries which use scavenged items as their raw materials have been surveyed and it is shown that the contribution by scavengers is high. The paper then analyses the raw materials and the employment which is generated by scavenging.

Key Words: Scavengers • recyclable wastes • land disposal • Tanzania.
