Our idea is to involve private entity in solid waste management & make waste sector as formal
Initially, waste were calculated on the basis of volume for the purpose of assessing required material and human resource
Overall estimation of money required to implement effective municipal solid waste management was evaluated based on its functional elements
SWOTs were analysed to formulate the planning of entity
Field survey had been taken to fix user fee
Financial analysis was done to look-into future of entity
On the basis of benefit-cost ratio, the project was proved as feasible

Opening up new circular economy trade opportunities: Options for collaboratio...GreenAllianceUK
On Monday 2nd March the Circular Economy Task Force co-hosted a conference with the Dutch Embassy in London on how to promote the trade in circular economy goods and services between the UK and the Netherlands. The Dutch ambassador Laetitia van den Assum welcomed an expert group of business, policy and academia representatives to a discussion organised around three issues: how policy can support a circular economy, how to deliver a ‘North Sea Resource Roundabout’, and what are the circular economy opportunities for plastics?

Municipal Government &
Transfer Station
Problem: A municipal government has agreed to provide once per week waste collection services to a
new residential community of 25,000 people. The city council has hired you to make a preliminary
assessment to determine if they should build and operate a transfer station to support the collection.
For the initial analysis, assume that the community does not have a recycling program. Here is some
of the initial data that the municipal engineer has collected.
* The round trip distance from the residential community to the landfill is 40 miles.
* The size of the residential garbage truck that collects waste from the community is 30 cubic yards.
* The round trip distance from the proposed site of the transfer station will be 45 miles.
* The garbage truck is capable to compact the refuse to 700 lbs./yd3.
* A long haul truck is capable to transport 25 tons of compacted waste per trip.
* The transfer station has a fixed operating cost of $15/ton.
* The cost to operate the garbage truck is $1.50/mile.
* The cost to operate the long haul truck is $0.75/mile.
(a) Would you recommend to the city council that a transfer station should be built and operated?
Show all work on how you came to your answer.
* The United Nations estimates waste generation rate is 4.8 lbs. per person per day.
(See page 39 of the textbook)
(b) If the community operated a recycling program, would this change or support your
recommendation to the city council? Show all work on how you came to your answer.
* Total recycled municipal waste is 33.2% of generation.
Solution
:
(a) We will use the estimated waste generation rate of 4.8 lbs. per person per day in this calculation.
Step 1
Residential waste generated = 25,000 people x 4.8 lbs. x 7 days = 840,000 lbs. or 420 tons
person/day 1 week each week
Step 2
Calculate the waste collected in each truck:
30 yd3 x 700 lbs. = 21,000 lbs. of waste collected per truck
truck yd3
Step 3
Calculate the number of trucks needed:
840,000 lbs. = 40 trucks (round up)
21,000 lbs./truck
Step 4
Determine the cost to travel to landfill by garbage trucks:
40 trucks x $1.50 x 40 miles = $2,400 per week
week mile

Step 5
Calculate the number of long haul trucks based on residential waste generated:
420 tons = 17 trucks (round up)
25 tons per truck
Step 6
Determine cost to travel to transfer station by long haul trucks:
17 trucks x $0.75 x 45 miles = $573.75
mile .

Forging Partnerships for Sustainable Waste Management_ The Role of Solar Garb...Emma Bela
In the pursuit of sustainable waste management solutions, the collaboration between government agencies, waste management companies, and technology providers stands as a pivotal force. Solar garbage compactor, with their ability to reduce carbon footprints and enhance waste collection efficiency, have emerged as a promising innovation in urban environments. In this exploration, we delve into the critical role of partnerships in deploying solar garbage compactors effectively, emphasizing the importance of collective efforts to maximize their benefits. Additionally, we will touch upon the significance of technologies such as hydraulic piston seals in optimizing the performance of these compactors.
driven by a growing understanding of the immense potential hidden within waste streams. This article explores how Solo, a leading waste management company that offers waste management services, is helping unlock the hidden value within these streams, transforming waste into a valuable resource.
