DISPOSAL OF WASTES
GUIDED BY: Dr. SUSHRIT
SOLID WASTES
Presented by: Ramakrishna
OVERVIEW
• What is solid waste?
• Why it should be disposed?
• Sources of refuse, storage,
collection
• Methods of disposal
• Public education
• Economics and finance
• International cooperation
WHAT ARE SOLID WASTES?
•GARBAGE
•RUBBISH
•DEMOLITION PRODUCTS
•SEWAGE TREATMENT RESIDUE
•DEAD ANIMALS, MANURE AND OTHER
DISCARDED MATERIALS
WHY IT SHOULD BE DISPOSED?
•To prevent health hazards
•To maintain hygiene and cleanliness
If allowed to accumulate:
•Favours fly breeding
•Attracts rodents and vermin
•Vector for pathogen
•Possibility of water and soil
pollution
•Bad odour
SOURCES OF REFUSE
•Street refuse
•Market refuse
•Stable litter
•Industrial refuse
•Domestic refuse
STORAGE
• Galvanized steel dust bin
• Capacity; number of users &
frequency of collection
• Output per capita in india; 1/10 to 1/20
c.Ft
• ‘‘Paper sack’’
• Public bins; large number; elevated
platform; municipalities.
COLLECTION
• House to house collection
• Majority; other than house to house
• Public bins
• Army of sweepers; ultimate disposal
• The environmental hygiene
committee
• “Dustless refuse collector”
METHODS OF DISPOSAL
• DUMPING
• CONTROLLED TIPPING
• INCINERATION
• COMPOSTING
• MANURE PITS
• BURIAL
DUMPING
• Dumped in low lying areas
• Decomposed and converted to humus; kolkata
• Drawbacks:
• Flies and rodents
• Bad smell and unslighlty appearance
• Dispersed by wind
• Drainage; pollution of surface and ground
water.
According to who:
“Most insanitary method that creates
Public health hazards and nuiscence
And severe pollution of environment’’
CONTROLLED TIPPING
• Most satisfactory method
• Trench or prepared area; covered
• With earth
• “Modified sanitary landfill”; once or
twice a week
• 3 methods:
• Trench method
• Ramp method
• Area method
TRENCH METHOD
•LEVEL GROUND
•2-3 m DEEP AND 4-12 m WIDE
•1 ACRE OF LAND FOR 10,000 POPULATION
RAMP METHOD
•SLOPING LAND
AREA METHOD
• Depressed land; disused quarries
• Clay pits
• Refuse filled; 2-2.5 m
• Mud covered at least 30 cm thick
• Disadvantage:
• Supplemental earth from outside
• Sources
INCINERATION
• Burning
• Suitable land not available
• Hospital waste; biohazard
• Disadvantage:
• Loss of manure
• Limited application in india
COMPOSTING
• Combined disposal; refuse, night soil
• Bacterial action; humus like material
• Compost; free of disease causing
• Organisms
• Soil builder; nutrients (nitrates and
• Phosphates)
• Methods:
• Bangalore method (anaerobic)
• Mechanical composting (aerobic)
BANGALORE METHOD
• Also known as hot fermentation process
• Satisfactory method; town waste &
• Nightsoil
• Measurements:
• 90 cm deep, 1.5-2.5 m broad, 4.5-10 m long
• Pits should be located ½ mile away from
• City limits
• 7 days; bacterial action; 60 degree C
• Pathogenic organisms destroyed
MECHANICAL COMPOSTING
• Large scale processing of raw materials
• Steps:
• Clearing of salvagable materials
• Grinded; size less than 2 inches
• Refuse mixed with sewage, sludge
• 4-6 weeks
• Rural areas; effective and simple
• Refuse thrown around the houses
• Pollution of soil
• Garbage, cattle dung, leaves
• Covered with earth daily
• 5-6 months; converted to manure
MANURE PITS
BURIAL
• Suitable for small camps
• 1.5 m wide and 2 m deep
• Refuse covered with 20-30 cm of
earth
• After 4-6 months; fields
PUBLIC EDUCATION
• Cleanliness outside their homes
• Municipalities; cheapest solution
• By methods of health education
• Pamphlets, newspapers,
broadcasting
• Films etc.
ECONOMICS AND FINANCE
• Capital requirement; efficient
disposal
• Industrialised countries
• 20% of budget
INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION
• ISWA-1970; to improve sanitation
• WHO; evaluate waste disposal
