The objective of this paper is to review previously published models of municipal solid waste generation and to propose an implementation guideline which will provide a compromise between information gain and cost-efficient model development. The 45 modelling approaches identified in a systematic literature review aim at explaining or estimating the present or future waste generation using econ...

composting process, as one or the other is normally a limiting factor. Carbon serves primarily as an energy source for the microorganisms, while a small fraction of the carbon is incorporated in their cells. Nitrogen is critical for microbial population growth, as it is a constituent of protein which forms over 50 percent of dry bacterial cell mass. If nitrogen is limiting, microbial population...

Mechanical behaviour of the waste body controls many aspects of landfill lining system design and performance, including stability issues and integrity of the geosynthetic and mineral lining components. Knowledge of the likely ranges of waste mechanical properties is required to assess potential modes of failure and hence to design the landfill engineering measures. This paper provides a summar...

The Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) management is a complex service that should be provided with suitable and feasible technologies in developing countries like India. The collection element plays a vital role in the MSW management. Hence, the planning and design of community bins make a greater impact on the environment. In this regard, an application model called Design of Community Storage Syste...

Mercury pollution is a persistent and increasing problem in the environment. Along with some natural sources of the metal, major man-made sources of mercury pollution include incinerators, fossil fuel plants, and municipal sewage systems. The EPA estimated that in 1989, approximately 643,000 kg of mercury was discarded as municipal solid waste, with 84% of it landfilled.

Uncontrolled growth of the urban population in developing countries in recent years has made solid waste management an important issue. Today municipal solid waste management (MSWM) is one of the most challenging issues in urban cities, which are facing a serious pollution problem due to the generation of huge quantities of solid waste. This results in development of environmentally sustainable...

Background: Management of solid waste is a set of regular and coherent acts on production control, storage and collection, handling, processing and disposal of solid waste. These activities should be in accordance with best conditions of public health, economy, and protection of industries, aesthetical and other aspects of environmental and public requirements. People cooperation in solid waste...

Weight-based pricing systems for municipal solid waste collection and processing are increasingly popular in many European countries and regions. However, the impact on waste generation of such pricing schedules remains debated and depends strongly on the practical details of the system used. This article assesses the impact of a voluntary transition by Flemish municipalities from the default p...

This study was conducted to investigate thermal aspects of municipal solid waste landfills as a function of operational conditions and climatic region. Spatial and temporal distributions of waste temperatures were determined at four landfills located in North America �Michigan, New Mexico, Alaska, and British Columbia�. Temperatures of wastes at shallow depths �extending to 6 to 8 m depth� and ...
