4. PROBLEM STATEMENT
Solid waste generation rates estimate the amount of waste created by
residences or businesses over a certain amount of time (day, year, etc.)
Waste generation includes all materials discarded , whether or not they are
later recycled or disposed in a landfill.
But Waste generation rates for residential and commercial activities can be
used to estimate the impact of new developments on its local.
If solid waste management is to be accomplished in an efficient and orderly
manner , the fundamental aspects and relationship involved must be identify,
adjusted for uniformity of data, and understood clearly.

6. 1. What is solid waste?
Solid waste is defined as discarded solid fraction produced from domestic,
commercial, trade, industrial, agricultural, institutional, mining activities and
public services. The waste is a term that means useless, unwanted or discarded
material. According to the American Public Works Association, the solid waste is
comprised of twelve categories as garbage, rubbish, ashes, street sweepings, dead
animals, abandoned vehicles, construction waste, industrial refuse, special waste
such as hospital waste, bulky waste, animal and agricultural waste and sewage
treatment residue.

9. 2.What is solid waste management?
Solid waste management is defined as the discipline associated with control of
generation, storage, collection, transport or transfer, processing and disposal of
solid waste materials in a way that best addresses the range of public health,
conservation, economic, aesthetic and environmental considerations.
3.What is sustainable solid waste management?
Sustainable waste management is to reduce the amount of natural resources
consume, confirm that any materials that are taken from nature are reused as
many times as possible and that the waste created is kept to a minimum.

10. 4. Advantages and Disadvantages
Advantages
Keeps the environment clean and fresh
Saves the Earth and conserves energy
Reduces environmental pollution
Earns money and creates employment
Disadvantages
Creates serious negative environmental impacts like infectious
diseases

11. OBJECTIVES
The primary goal of sustainable solid waste management is
reducing and eliminating adverse impacts of waste materials on
human health and the environment to support economic
development and superior quality of life. This is to be done in the
most efficient manner possible, to keep costs low and prevent
waste buildup.

13. Methodology
There are four basic management options that can be identified for an
integrated waste management system: source reduction, recovery (by reuse or
recycling), waste treatment (thermally or biologically), and land-filling.
1. Source Reduction
2. Waste recovery
(a) Reuse
(b) Recycling
3. Waste Treatment
(a) Thermal treatment
(b) Biological treatment
4. Land-fillings
(a) Sanitary/secure landfills
(b) Controlled dumps

14. Conclusion
Environmental problems such as pollution, solid waste, waste
water treatment always consume great amount of costs to handle
with.
However, the technological improvements made it possible to
benefit from environmental issues with less cost and less
problem.
Further developments in technology will produce
economically sustainable waste management system.
Different techniques for treatment are now possible for the same
type of wastes, and they can be evaluated easily according to
the situation and type, quantity and specifications of waste.
In order to achieve a sustainable waste management, all
types of wastes such as sewage sludge, industrial and
agricultural wastes and demolition wastes should be treated in
order to embed them to economic life. 12
