This document discusses the management of solid waste from municipalities. It defines solid waste and outlines its various sources such as municipal, industrial, and biomedical waste. The impacts of solid waste on health are described, including creating unhygienic conditions and spreading disease. Methods for solid waste management are proposed, including the "4Rs" of reduce, reuse, recycle, and refuse. The document recommends greater public involvement, awareness, and improved collection practices to enhance solid waste management.

5. SOURCES OF WASTES

6. BACKGROUND
• Since the beginning Human kind has been
generating waste
BUT
• With the progress of civilization the waste
became of a more complex nature

7. SOLID WASTE
Non liquid, non soluble materials ranging from
municipal garbage to industrial waste that contain
complex and sometime hazardous substances

8. TYPES OF SOLID WASTE
• Municipal waste
• Industrial waste
• Biomedical waste

9. MUNICIPAL SOLID WASTE
• Household waste
• Construction waste
• Sanitation waste
• Waste from streets

11. EFFECTS OF SOLID WASTE
Health hazard
• Create unhygienic conditions
• Lead to outbreak of diseases
• Spread of disease and loss of human lives
• Occupational hazards

12. EFFECTS …….
Environmental impact
• Decomposition and putrefaction
• hateful odors due to decomposition

13. WASTE MANAGEMENT
• Four Rs concept ( Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Refuse)
Refuse

14. REFUSE
• Use containers that are already at home
• Refuse to buy the new item when they are not
required

15. REUSE
• If you cannot prevent waste then reuse

16. RECYCLE
• Use shopping bags made of cloth which can be use
over and over again

17. REDUCE
• Reduce generation of unnecessary waste

18. CONTROL MEASURES
The main purpose of solid waste management is to
minimize the adverse effects on the environment,
by
• Collection of solid wastes
• Disposal of solid wastes
• Utilization of wastes

19. CONTROL MEASURES…
Collection of waste
• Gathering the waste
• Transporting to centralized location
Disposal of waste
• Compaction
• Incineration
• Manual separation

20. CONTROL MEASURES…
Utilization of waste
• Conservation of natural resources
• Economic development
• Generate many useful product
• Employment opportunities
• Control of air pollution

21. CONCLUSION
• Limited focus on control mechanism affecting on safety,
health and environment
• Inadequately enforcement of regulations
• Lack of integrated solid waste management system
• Involvement of private sector is ignored.
• open burning and disposal of waste is common practice.

22. RECOMMENDATIONS
• The involvement of people and public sector
could improve the efficiency of solid waste
management
• Public awareness
• House to house collection of waste
• Availability of collections bins with enough
capacity
• Storage facility to avoid unhygienic and
unsanitary conditions
