Evolution/ Development Of Solid Waste
Management

11. Evolution/ Development Of Solid Waste
Management
 Solid Waste Management Involves- Activities-
Generation, Storage, Collection, Transport, Processing
and disposal of solid Waste that will be environmentally
compatible by adopting the principles of economy,
aesthetics, energy and conservation
 Another definition- The discipline associated with control
of generation, storage , collection, transfer and transport,
processing and disposal of solid waste in such a manner
that it is in accordance with the best principles of public
health, economics, engineering, conservation, aesthetics
and other environmental considerations

12. Evolution/ Development Of Solid Waste
Management
 Solid waste- All the waste arising from Human
and Animal Activities
 Large Volume – Urban/ City Area(Zones)
 This Subject- Directly Related- Urban Waste

13. Evolution/ Development Of Solid Waste
Management
 In early time- not pose a significant problem
 Problem Raised – Start Living in society
 During the Beginning of 19th Century– Importance of
Controlling Public Health
 US PHS( U.S. Public Health Service) – Published recent
study- Tracing the Relationship of 22 diseases – due to
improper Solid Waste Management
 Air & Water Pollution- Ecological Phenomena

Problems in Developing Countries/ Key
Solid Waste Issues in Developing Country

15. Problems in Developing Countries/ Key Solid Waste
Issues in Developing Country
 Waste Characteristic- differ- developed countries
 Food habits,Culture, Tradition & Socio- Economic Aspect
 Organic Matter- Moisture Content is Higher in Developing
Countries
 Unpaved Roads – Seasonal Variation Increases the Density Of
Waste (Lower Calorific Value)
 Due to Exposure to Industrial and Municipal Activity More
than 100 Years (England 1888 Urban Sanitary Act)-
Prohibiting the throwing of SW into rivers,ditches( Water
Bodies)

16. Problems in Developing Countries/ Key Solid Waste
Issues in Developing Country
1) Substantial Population Growth
2) Lack of legislation and policy for long term planning
3) Inadequate storage and collection
4) Lack of Proper disposal
5) Use of Improper Vehicles and Equipments
6) Insufficient Knowledge of Basic Principles

Composition and Quantity of Solid
Waste(Sources,Types and Composition of
Municipal Solid Waste)

24. Composition and Quantity of Solid Waste(Sources,
Types and Composition of Municipal Solid Waste)
 Knowledge- Essential in design operation & design of
Functional Elements associated with the management of solid
waste
 General Sources 0f Solid Waste
1) Residential
2) Commercial
3) Institutional
4) Construction and Demolotion
5) Municipal Services
6) Treatment Plant Sites
7) Industrial Agricultural
(Municipal Solid Waste – Except Industrial & Agricultural Waste)

25. Composition and Quantity of Solid
Waste(Sources,Types and Composition of Municipal
Solid Waste)
 Variation in the Composition & Characteristics –
Have to be considered while designing the Solid Waste
Management Facilities

26. B Y V . D . K F F I N A F A M B L E
Types of Solid Waste(Based on
Source and Origin)

27. Definition & Classification of Solid Waste
1) Domestic/ Residential Waste
2)Commercial Waste-Offices, Wholesale/retail stores, restaurants,hotels,markets etc
3) Institutional Waste-Schools, Universities, Hospitals & Research Centres
4) Municipal Waste- Domestic, Institutional and Commercial Waste
5) Street Waste
6)Construction and Demolition Waste
7) Industrial Waste
8)Sewage Waste- By products of Sewage Treatment Plant
9)Garbage-Animal and Vegetable Waste resulting from Handling,storage,sale,
preparation, cooking and serving of food
10)Rubbish-Dry Non Putrescible Solid waste excluding garbage and ash

28. Definition & Classification of Solid Waste
11) Ashes- residue remaining from burning of solid waste
12) Hazardous Waste-because of its physical, chemical and biological characteristics
it is potentially dangerous to human and the environment e.g. solvents, paints,
pesticides, Biomedical Plant Waste
13) Dead Animals
14) Bulky Waste- can not be accommodated in the normal storage containers of
households
15)Abandoned Vehicles- significant scrap value
Because of Heterogeneous nature of solid waste, no single method of
classification is entirely satisfactory
In some cases – interested – Source of the waste or
sometimes – Type of the Waste
Garbage, Rubbish, Ashes – form the bulk- pose maximum problem in urban areas
