This presentation discusses solid waste management. It defines the objective of solid waste management as controlling, collecting, processing, and disposing of solid wastes in an economical way while protecting public health. The document classifies different types of solid waste and identifies their sources. It outlines current solid waste collection methods in India and discusses the health impacts of improper waste management. Finally, it describes different methods for municipal solid waste disposal, including landfilling, incineration, composting, and explains the 3R approach of reduce, reuse, recycle to promote more sustainable waste management.

4. Objective Of SolidWaste
Management
The objective of solid wastes
management is to control,
collect, process, dispose off
solid wastes in an
economical way consistent
with the public health
protection.
6. Classification of SolidWaste
Municipal Solid wastes: Solid wastes that include household
garbage, rubbish, construction & packaging materials, etc. and are
managed by anymunicipality.
Bio-medical wastes: Solid or liquid wastes including containers,
products generated during diagnosis, treatment & research activities
of medicalsciences.
Industrial wastes: Liquid and solid wastes that are generated by
manufacturing & processing units of various industries like chemical,
petroleum, coal, metal gas, paperetc.
Agricultural wastes: Wastes generated from farming activities.
These substances are mostlybiodegradable.
E-wastes: Electronic wastes generated from any modern
establishments. They may be described as discarded electrical or
electronic devices. Some electronic scrap components, such as
wires, circuits, mobile, computers etc.
10. • Primarily by the city municipality.
No gradation of waste product e.g. bio-
degradable, glasses, polybags, paper
etc.
-Dumps these wastes to the city outskirts.
• Local raddiwala /kabadiwala.
• -Collecting small iron pieces by magnets.
-Collecting glassbottles.
-Collecting paper forrecycling.
Solid WasteCollection in
India
11. In Mumbai (2005) clogged the sewage
line due to large no. of plastic bags.
Blast in the Bhusan Steel factory at Noida,
caused due to imported scrap from Iran.
Reduction in the number of migratory
birds due to consumption of
contaminated foods.
Animals dying on streets due to
consumption of plastic bags, which
blocks the food movement in their
stomach .
How solid waste affected usin
recent years.
12. Impacts
of solid
waste
on
health
Nausea and
vomiting
Low birth
weight
Cancer
Chemical
poisoning
through
chemical
inhalation
Increase in
hospitalizatio
n of diabetic
residents
living near
hazard waste
sites
Mercury
toxicity from
eating fish
with high
levels of
mercury
14. Understand The Various Kinds
of MSW Disposal Methods Such
asLand Filling, Incineration and
Organic MSW Composting.
15. • It isthe most traditional method of waste
disposal.
• Waste isdirectly dumped into quarries, mining
voids or borrow pits.
• Disposed waste iscompacted and covered with
soil.
• It isgenerally used for domestic waste.
Land Filling
18. • Incineration isa waste treatment process that
involves the combustion of solid waste at
1000^o C.
• waste materials are converted into ash, flue
gas, and heat.
• The ashismostly formed by the inorganic
constituents of the waste and gases due to
organic waste.
• The heat generated by incineration isused to
generate electric power.
Incineration
20. How can we make a change
Know 3R’s Concept and Justify
Aspects and Issues related to
recycling and composting of
municipal solid waste
(MSW).
21. Reduction
• By reducing, consumer and industry can
save natural resources and reduce waste
management costs.
Reuse
• Large production companies suchas
Electronic, appliances and gadgets, should
establish the collection centre, where
damaged items can be repaired and reuse.
Recycling
• Recycling turns materials that would
otherwise become waste into valuable
resources.
