What is Solid Waste?

non-liquid ,non soluble materials ranging from
municipal garbage to industrial wastes that
contain complex and sometimes hazardous
substance
Examples: plastics, Styrofoam containers, bottles,
cans, papers, scrap iron, and other trash, etc.

Sources of Wastes:
Househol
ds

Commerce and
Industry

Agriculture

Fisheries

Collection of solid waste:

Collection of waste includes gathering the

waste, transporting to a centralized

location and then moving it to site of
disposal
Then collected waste is the separated.

Types of solid waste:

Hazardous waste:
Hazardous waste are the types of waste
which are
harmful for human beings.
E.g.:-solvents acids, heavy
metals,pesticides,etc.

Non-Hazardous waste:
Non Hazardous waste are the types of waste
which are not harmful for human beings.
E.g.:-garbage, sludge, municipal trash.

What is meant by solid

waste management?
Solid Waste managementis the
"generation,
prevention,
characterization,
monitoring,
treatment, handling, reuse and
residual disposition ofsolid wastes".

Methods of solid waste

management:

LAND FILL
INCINERATION
COMPACTION:
PYROLYSIS:The 3 Rs

1.LAND FILL:
It is the most traditional method of waste

disposal.
Waste is directly dumped into disused
quarries, mining voids or borrow pits.
Disposed waste is compacted and covered
with soil
Gases generated by the decomposing waste
materials are often burnt to generate power.
It is generally used for domestic waste.

2. INCINERATION:
Incineration is a waste treatment process

that involves the combustion of solid waste

at 1000C.
waste materials are converted into ash,
flue gas, and heat.
The ash is mostly formed by the inorganic
constituents of the waste and gases due to
organic waste.
the heat generated by incineration is used
to generate electric power.

3.COMPACTION:
The waste is compacted or compressed. It

also breaks up large or fragile items of

waste.
This process is conspicuous in the feed at
the back end of many garbage collection
vehicles. Deposit refuse at bottom of slope
for best compaction and control of blowing
litter.

4.PYROLYSIS:
Pyrolysis is defined as thermal degradation

of waste in the absence of air to produce

char, pyrolysis oil and syngas, e.g. the
conversion of wood to charcoal also it is
defined as destructive distillation of waste
in the absence of oxygen. External source
of heat is employed in this process.

5.The 3 Rs:
REDUCE
REUSE
RECYCLE

REDUCE:
You can help by PRECYCLING. 1/3 of all garbage

is packaging.
Buy things that are in packages that can be
recycled or are made of recycled materials.
When you buy something small, say no thanks
to a bag.

REUSE:
Many things can be reused before you throw them out.
Use coffee cans and cottage cheese containers for storage
Put leftovers in resalable containers instead of using wraps

and foil
Use old clothes as rags for cleaning instead of paper towels
Have a garage sale or donate clothes, books or toys that you
don't use anymore

RECYCLE:
Each year we use:
25

billion plastic containers

30 billion bottles & jars
65 billion aluminum cans
100 billion pounds of paper

Case study
Location: Solid waste management in

Mumbai, Maharashtra
Capital of Maharashtra
Greater Mumbai consist of island city and
suburbs;area:437.71 sq km (MCGM
2013);under single municipal
administration

General profile:
Population of city around 12 mn
41.3% of total urban households live in

slums
Climate :moderately hot ,humid almost
through the year

Waste collection:
Agency in charge is MCGM or BMC
Garbage generated in 2012-2013 is 9200 metric

ton
Street Sweeping 100% street cleaning in 1 or
2 shifts (67% by municipal staff and 33% roads
by private contractors)
Collection 83% through collection bins and 13%

house-to-house collection (Source: MCGM)

Frequency :
1396 number of trips each day. (MCGM

Waste Collection Pilot schemes:

Advanced Locality Management
(ALM)
Street communities interact
with Ward officers; for civic
issues like promoting
rag-pickers for dry waste
collection and composting for
wet-waste

Waste Disposal - Journey

of Waste
Waste
Collection
from
surrounding
areas

3 Transfer
stations at
Mahalaxmi,
Kurla and
Versova

3 Landfills at
Mulund,
KanjurMarg
and Deonar

Methods of landfill
Area method
Trench method
Open pit method
Canyon method.

Area method
The area method is used when the terrain is unsuitable

for excavation.
The filling operation usually is started by building an

earthen levee against which wastes are compacted and

placed in thin layers.
At the end of each days operation a 150-300 mm of layer

of cover material is placed over the completed landfill.

A completed lift, including the cover material is called a

cell

CONCLUSION:
Solid Waste Management is one of the

important functions of urban local bodies.

It is observed that lack of financial resources,
institutional weakness, improper selection of
technology, transportation systems and
disposal options are making this problem
even worse.
Increase in population has increased all sorts
of demands leading to formation of wastes.
If ignored, this problem may lead serious
hazards and hence this topic is burning issue.
