Abstract

Rural solid waste management (SWM) poses unique challenges due to socio-economic, cultural, and environmental factors. Effective strategies require community engagement, technological innovation, and financial mechanisms. Culturally sensitive approaches, exemplified in Brazil's Quilombola communities, bolster program success. Technological advancements, such as mobile apps and decentralized waste treatment, can enhance waste management in areas with limited infrastructure. Financial models, including subsidies and incentives, are essential for sustaining SWM programs. Urbanization impacts rural SWM, presenting both challenges and opportunities. Integrated urban-rural strategies and international cooperation are crucial. Case studies spotlight successful SWM practices, emphasizing resource recovery and community involvement. Future advancements in technology, policy, and research will steer sustainable waste management in rural areas, fostering environmental protection and local development.
