A pilot-scale study was undertaken to evaluate alternatives to the solid waste management of a Central American municipal market located in Estelí, Nicaragua. The municipal solid waste from the local market is the second largest contributor to the municipal solid waste (MSW) stream. Waste from the market without any previous sorting or treatment is open dumped. The options evaluated in this stu...

Solid waste generated on land could potentially contribute continuously to marine waste, with current municipal solid management (MSWM) focusing human-related activities as the main source. While there has been challenges and opportunities in MSWM’s partnership growing generation for coastal tourism area, aim of this study is explore public private sectors key players identify challenges, oppor...

This paper provides an overview of the trend of generation, composition, and management of municipal solid waste, and estimates the carbon emissions arising from municipal solid waste management in Beijing. The correlation analysis conducted shows that the generation of municipal solid waste in Beijing has been growing steadily, showing high correlations (r > 0.9) to the total GDP, per capita i...

The pollutants emission during the process of municipal solid waste management (MSWM) is great concern due to its hazardous effect on environment and living organisms. An assessment air quality MSWM sites was made after having 16 repetitive visits at disposal transfer stations Lahore wet dry seasons. Pollution parameters such as fine particulate matter (PM2.5) greenhouse gases (GHG) were measur...

1.0 Problem Statement The disposal of municipal solid wastes is one of the most serious problems facing Waste generation is on the increasing trend due to exponentially renders waste management as a significant problem. The solid waste generation (lb/capita/day) has been on increasing trend since 1980, with the curr New York State alone generates 8.4 million tons of municipal solid waste per ye...

Solid waste is one of the unavoidable products of every society that necessitates the establishment of municipal solid waste management system. Because of variability in quantity and composition of municipal solid wastes, several management scenarios are considered. Assessing the environmental impacts of the life cycle of these scenarios will have a significant role in reducing and resolving ur...

waste is a by-product of our daily activities, which poses a serious threat to societies all over the world. in this study, life cycle assessment (lca) methodology was used to determine municipal solid waste (msw) management strategy for minna, niger state, nigeria. three scenarios were modelled as alternatives to the current waste management system in minna. the baseline scenario was the exist...

Strategic decision-making for dealing with municipal solid waste is a problem currently exercising the minds of many Member States throughout the European Union. This paper is devoted to environmental–economic modelling of the strategic developments in Municipal Solid Waste Management Systems at the Czech Republic. It was created by the authors for the Ministry of Environment of the Czech Repub...

Municipal solid waste management (MSWM) has become a major challenge in Sri Lanka for post-conflict development activities. Many urban areas are facing severe problems managing 10 to 50 metric tons of per day. However, limited research been carried out identify the key issues and policy gaps MSWM. This studies existing complexities MSWM processes, practices, emerging challenges three highly con...

Waste management, being one of the most important aspects of urban development, is gaining importance among developing nations. Landfills, which were initiated for hazardous waste management and subsequently transformed into sanitary landfills, have been the most widely adapted practice for municipal solid waste management worldwide. However, the conventional design of landfills not only fails ...
