The document discusses the role of the informal recycling sector in waste management, particularly in Tulkarem, highlighting its significant impact on resource recovery and livelihood. It emphasizes the importance of integrating this sector into formal waste management systems to enhance efficiency, improve workers’ conditions, and support public health and environmental standards. The document also outlines potential models for collaboration between informal recyclers and public authorities through public-private partnerships.
![What to do with IRS?
One of the aims of modern waste management is to
move ‘up the waste hierarchy,’ i.e. reduce the reliance
on disposal and increase recycling: it would seem ironic
to move forward by deliberately eliminating what can
be a rather efficient, existing recycling system […]
The preferred option is to integrate the informal sector
into waste management planning, building on their
practices and experience, while working to improve
efficiency and the living and working conditions of those
involved (David C. Wilson et al. 2006)](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/presentazionefedepppred-160305094220/85/Presentazione-PP-WM-8-320.jpg)

- 1. Waste Management informal sector, Riad Oufi recycling company formalisation process in PPP with Tulkarem JSC
- 2. Overview of the Informal Recycling Sector (IRS) “the informal solid waste sector refers to individuals or enterprises who are involved in recycling and waste management activities but are not sponsored, financed, recognised or allowed by the formal solid waste authorities, or who operate in violation of or in competition with formal authorities” (GIZ, 2006)
- 3. Recycling is first of all an economic activity of commodities extraction, upgrading, and trading, and as such it provides a livelihood for millions of persons worldwide (Scheinberg, 2010)
- 4. Street pickers Recovery Bottles, cans Landfill scavengers Recovery Bottles, paper, plastic Collection crews Recovery Collection crews Recovery Travelling buyers Door to door buying (announced collector) Paper, cardboard, glass bottles, aluminum cans, nylon Dealers neighborhood dealers or buyers Buying (retail) Small-scale entrepreneurs Buying, trading Large-scale entrepreneurs Buying and exporting/trading large-scale processing technology Metal, iron, steel, paper, cardboard, plastic bottles, glass bottles, tires, miscellaneous IRS forms (Mohammad Said Al Hmaidi, 2014)
- 5. When an active informal sector is removing waste for recycling at different points of the system, the result is that waste composition figures may be measured after some recycling has already happened, so comparisons can be misleading. City authorities are often unaware of these nuances. (David C Wilson et al., 2012) Waste management analysis should study the IRS

- 7. high recovery rates (up to 80%) IRS positive aspects income to poor population experience on the recycling sector use of most appropriate technologies deep knowledge of the territory relationship with the surrounding population (narrow) reduce the cost for the formal Waste Management (20%)

- 9. Studies have shown that in low-and middle-income countries the resource recovery rate by the informal sector is up to three times higher than by the formal solid waste management system. Informal recyclers are also able to valorize recyclable materials at lower costs than the formal sector due to their experience and special knowledge about identifying materials and marketing them.

- 11. The informal sector is clearly any city’s key ally. These human resources can be best deployed in the public interest through appropriate legal and institutional spaces. But that doesn’t imply that the informal recycling sector is a distinctly developing world phenomenon. The research here shows that it exists even in San Francisco, California, and Tompkins County, Ithaca, New York. (UNHABITAT, 2010) False belief
- 12. Carton collection in Tulkarem city and Alsha’sawiya and Wadi Alshaeer areas from commercial and industrial activities context analysis and survey on carton production and analysis of the informal sector based on the following: • questionnaires to shops and commercial activity under the survey • analysis of carton collection in other cities: Nablus, Jenin
- 13. IRS discovered in Tulkarem • Riad Oufi is collecting carton from commercial activities since 2009 • family business born as carton scavenger in municipal dumpsites • collecting around 60% of the carton from commercial activities in Tulkarem city • no collection in the surrounding municipalities • collection, transportation and manufacturer direct selling • carton, plastic and metal • partially accepted by the community
- 14. • included in the public sector (employed by municipalities or bodies related to WM) 2 options to include IRS in the formal WM: • as private sector with a PPP system (cooperatives, SME, associations, companies) PPP as strategy to keep the environmental standard and the concept the waste management is service to the population
