Anitnal Waste Managetnent Planning A labama farmers have always valued good land and clean water. When they are informed, responsible citizen farmers take the necessary steps within their economic means to care for these important natural resources. This is true with today's situation concerning water quality and animal waste management. As farmers understand how to protect Alabama's waters fro...

Management of municipal solid waste (MSW) has become a significant environmental problem, especially in fast-growing cities. The amount of waste generated increases each year and this makes it difficult to create solutions which due to the increase in waste generation year after year and having to identify a solution that will have minimum impact on the environment. To determine the most sustai...

Megacities concentrate large amounts of people, absorb a large quantity of resources and generate vast amounts of waste and sewage, thereby contributing considerably to the use of the environment as a sink. The quantity of resources consumed and urban residues produced per capita tend to rise steadily with increased per capita income. Proper management of municipal solid waste is critical to th...

Eff ective management of municipal solid waste (MSW) in Pacifi c developing member countries (DMCs) is diffi cult because of several country-specifi c characteristics. These include limited land area, customary land ownership; environmental fragility; limited human and fi nancial capacity; and in some countries, a heavy reliance on tourism. The challenges mean that selecting technologies that a...

Aims, tasks and priorities of medium term development plans of national waste management were defined in the National Waste Management Plan, which was made for the period of 2003–2008 in Hungary. Supporting of the European Union is indispensable for carrying out of plan. The most important areas are related to the developing projects of municipal solid waste treatment (increasing the capacity o...

In this study, a dynamic inexact waste management (DIWM) model is developed for identifying optimal waste-flow-allocation and facility-capacity-expansion strategies under uncertainty and is based on an inexact scenario-based probabilistic programming (ISPP) approach. The DIWM model can handle uncertainties presented as interval values and probability distributions, and it can support assessing ...

INTRODUCTION Above 150 mln. m 3 (~37.5 mln. tonnes taking into account of density coefficient as 0.25) of municipal solid wastes (MSW) are annually produced in Russia (Cherp and Vinichenko (1996; Korneev & Bukreev, 2001). Landfilling is still the most common way for disposal of MSW in our country (Table 1). However, nowadays, MSW management in Russia is undergoing drastic changes (closure of ol...
