The document discusses solid waste management. It defines solid waste management as controlling the generation, storage, collection, transport, processing and disposal of solid wastes according to public health principles. It outlines different types of solid wastes including residential, commercial, municipal, industrial, agricultural, and hazardous wastes. It also discusses the various elements involved in solid waste management such as collection, transport, processing, and disposal.
4. It is defined as the discipline associated with the
control of generation, storage, collection, transfer,
transport, processing and disposal of solid wastes
in a manner that is in accord with best principles
of public health.
5. To identify types of solid wastes and their sources
To examine the physical and chemical
composition.
To consider the elements involved in
management.
To minimize the adverse environmental impacts
caused by the indiscriminate disposal of solid
wastes.
6. Encompasses activities in which materials are
identified as no longer being of value and are
either thrown away or gathered together for
disposal.
Example: wrapping of candy bar
7. Waste handling and separation involves the
activities associated with management of wastes
until they are placed in storage containers for
collection.
8. Includes not only gathering of solid wastes and
recyclable materials, but also the transport of
these materials, after collection.
9. Transfer and transport of wastes from the smaller
collection vehicle to the larger transport
equipment.
10. Processing and recovery of wastes is taken to
long distances to a processing site and to prepare
materials for recovery of conversion products and
energy.
11. The final functional element in the solid waste
management system is disposal. Today the
disposal of wastes by land filling or land spreading
is the ultimate fate of all solid wastes.
13. COMPONENTS
Garbage
Rubbish

14. Waste generation involves those activities in which
materials are identified as no longer being of value and
therefore, are thrown away as useless.
15. It refers to the activities associated with handling,
storage and processing of solid wastes at or near
the point of generation until they are placed in
containers for storage before collection.
16. Facilitates the collection process.
Minimizes the collection process.
Ensure maximum collection of solid wastes
generated.
Discourage throwing of wastes indiscriminately in
the streets.
17. Household wastes should be stored in sturdy
container of :
Sufficient capacity.
Easy to empty and clean
Has a well fitted lid.
Galvanized steel and plastic bins can satisfy these
criteria.
18. Problems:
The provision of too few containers of insufficient
capacity.
Inappropriate locating of containers.
Containers are usually open, giving access to
rats, flies and animals, which is undesirable for
both hygienic and aesthetic reasons.
19. It is difficult and complex
occurrences in variety of places
High cost of fuel & labor
60-80% of cost only for collection
20. In this system householders carry their wastes to
solid waste bins situated at specific location, solid
waste collection trucks visits these location at
regular intervals and collect and transport the
accumulated wastes to treatment or disposal
sites.
21. It is a collection vehicle travels over a selected route
at a specific time of the day, usually two or three
days a week. The house holders bring their
wastes and hand them over to the workers.
22. House holders leave the wastes in containers or
disposal bags on the footpath on pre-selected
days according to a collection schedule.
Succeeds only if well organized regular service is
provided
23. The house holders store wastes in a bin, basket or
bag within their house premises.
Workers collect bin, basket or bag, empty it into the
collection vehicle and return container to
premises.
24. To improve the efficiency of (swm) system.
To recover useable material.
To recover conversion products and energy.
29. Availability of land
Distance & cost
Soil condition & topography
Climate condition
Geological condition
Noise, odour, dust &vector control
30. Discharge to waste water treatment plants
On site treatement
31. Methane & carbon dioxide by organic matter
Active and passive collection of gas for heat &
electricity
Incineration
Controlled burning at high temp(i.e 850p C) in
presence of air
32. Composting is the process of bacterial conversion
of organic solid and semi solid wastes into
compost which can be handled, stored and
transported without any adverse environmental
effect, and can be used to as organic manure for
improvement of soil quality and fertility
