SOLID WASTE DISPOSAL, MANAGEMENT AND FACILITIES

SOLID WASTE DISPOSAL

the process of collecting, treating, and disposing of solid material that has reached the end of its useful life

SOLID WASTE

refers to all discarded household, commercial waste, non-hazardous institutional and industrial waste, street sweeping, construction debris, agricultural waste and other non-hazardous and non-toxic solid waste.

MUNICIPAL SOLID WASTE

More commonly known as trash or garbage—consists of everyday items we use and then throw away, such as product packaging, grass clippings, furniture, clothing, bottles, food scraps, newspapers, appliances, paint, and batteries.

HAZARDOUS WASTE

A waste with properties that make it dangerous or capable of having a harmful effect on human health or the environment.

HAZARDOUS WASTE

This type of waste is generated from many sources, ranging from industrial manufacturing process wastes to batteries and may come in many forms, including liquids, solids gases, and sludges.

INDUSTRIAL WASTE

The waste materials generated by industries or industrial processes that includes chemicals, trash, oils, solvents, dirt and gravel, many harmful gases etc.

E-WASTE

electronic products that are nearing the end of their useful-life and are discarded

CONSTRUCTION AND DEMOLITION WASTE

A term used to describe materials that are generated during the construction or demolition process.

CONSTRUCTION AND DEMOLITION WASTE

one of the most common types of waste generated in the construction industry

COMPOSTABLE WASTE

biodegradable wastes such as food waste, garden waste, animal waste and human waste

RECYCLABLE WASTE

refer to any waste material retrieved from the waste stream and free from contamination that can still be converted into suitable beneficial use.

RESIDUAL WASTE

solid waste materials that are non-compostable and non-recyclable. It should be disposed ecologically through a long-term disposal facility or sanitary landfill.

SPECIAL WASTE

refer to household hazardous wastes

COMPOSTING PROCESS

a biological process in which the organic portion of refuse is allowed to decompose under carefully controlled conditions

OPEN BURNING

a disposal method of waste or garbage that is used globally, but often used in low and middle-income countries that lack adequate waste disposal infrastructure.

SEA DUMPING

it is a process that can be carried out only in coastal cities. This is very costly procedure and not environmentally friendly.

INCINERATION

Suitable for combustible refuse. High operation costs and construction are involved in this procedure. This method would be suited in crowded cities where sites for land filling are not available.

BIOGAS GENERATION

process of converting the waste into biogas through anaerobic digestion.

ANAEROBIC DIGESTION

chemical process in which organic matter is broken down by microorganisms in the absence of oxygen, which results in the generation of carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4).

MRF

they receive commingled materials and separates out and bales the recyclables.

COMPOSTING FACILITY

they focus on organic waste, converting it into valuable compost.

ENERGY FROM WASTE PLANTS FACILITY

utilize combustion to generate electricity from waste. This method addresses waste volume concerns and provides energy, but emissions and ash disposal require careful management.

HAZARDOUS WASTE TREATMENT CENTER

These center handle hazardous waste, employing specialized techniques to neutralize or contain harmful materials.

WASTE TRANSFER STATION

serve as intermediate points for collecting and consolidating municipal solid waste before transportation to disposal or waste processing facilities

CONSTRUCTION AND DEMOLITION WASTE RECYCLING FACILITY

focuses on the reuse of materials from construction and demolition activities, minimizing landfill waste and promoting resource recovery.

E-WASTE RECYCLING FACILITY

they address the growing issue of electronic waste, disassembling and recycling electronic components

PLASTIC TO FUEL CONVERSION FACILITIES

they address plastic waste by transforming it into usable fuels while contributing to resource recovery and reducing plastic pollution, the energy-intensive processes and limitations in processing certain plastic types are notable challenges.

2.01, 33

The world generates _________ billion tons of municipal

solid waste annually, with at least ______ percent of

that—extremely conservatively—not managed in an

environmentally safe manner.

0.74

Worldwide, waste generated per person per day averages _____

kilogram but ranges widely, from 0.11 to 4.54

kilograms.

55,000

As per the Philippines, it generates _________ tons of wastes per day with 0.32 kg per capita in rural areas and 0.7 kg per capita in urban areas.

WASTE COLLECTION

It is the transfer of solid waste from the point of use and disposal to the point of treatment or landfill.

WASTE SEGREGATION

separates different types of waste so that it can be recycled or disposed of more effectively.

RECYCLING

it is the recovery and reuse of materials from wastes

BIOLOGICAL TREATMENT PROCESS

it has some attractive benefits such as reduced volume in the waste material, adjustment of the waste, economic aspects, obliteration of microorganisms in the waste material, and creation of biogas for energy use

AEROBIC PROCESS

These techniques are used to convert MSW into a reasonable hotspot for resource and energy recovery that produces biogas, biofuel and bioelectricity and different results in without risk and harmless to the ecosystem.

THERMAL TREATMENT PROCESS

process that involves the use of heat to treat waste

INCINERATION

the process in which the burning of solid waste is takes place in large furnace.
