dumpsites are zones where the solid waste is willingly neglected with no regard
to the safety and health of the environment and the people. The open dumping practice
in the Oman environmental services for solid waste can result in various health and environmental hazards.
The be’ah is the Oman Environmental Services Holding Co that is concluding all traditional places and substituting them
with planned landfills of the solid waste, where possible. These landfills cutting
edge that are lined and compacted, are planned to receive for final disposal of
the municipal solid waste in a safe and secure manner, diminishing the risk to environment
and people. Transfer stations are conventional where municipal solid waste can
be accumulated and stored before transporting to suitable facilities of disposal.
The Solid Waste sector strategy for developing includes the development of the facilities
in the governorates all around the country to guarantee continuous waste
management 24/7. This comprises subcontracting ten agreements to insurance
governorates, founding over twelve landfills and around 25 transmission
stations (Al-Mahrouqi & Victor, 2017).
The be'ah solid waste
management project in Oman can see the waste management future in progressive light
that performs a major role in transporting about change. As the evolution needs
municipalities taking over, be'ah is dedicated towards reorganization aims and procedures

Inappropriate management of municipal solid
waste disposal and results in different types of pollution such as soil, water
and air. In distinguish, discarding of wastes pollutes ground and surface
supplies of water. In city areas, municipal solid waste blocks the drains, making
stationary water for insect upbringing and during rainy seasons it overflows. Unrestrained
burning of municipal solid waste and indecorous burning contributes suggestively
to air pollution in the urban areas. Greenhouse gases are produced from the decomposition
of the organic waste in the landfills, and untreated leachate pollutes nearby
soil and water bodies. Health and safety issues also arise from inappropriate municipal
solid waste management. Rodent and insect vectors are involved in the waste and
can spread diseases such as dengue and cholera fever. Using water polluted by municipal
solid waste for food irrigation, drinking water and bathing can help depiction persons
to disease contaminants and organisms.
