Municipal  An Overview of Management,

Solid Waste Methods, and Engineering Systems

Disposal &  Presented by: Rafay Ranyal

Recovery
 • Municipal Solid Waste (MSW)
includes everyday items discarded
by the public.
 • Poor waste management leads to

Introduction pollution, disease, and greenhouse


gas emissions.
 • Sustainable recovery methods are
vital for environmental protection
and public health.
 • Residential: Food scraps,
packaging, plastics.
 • Commercial: Paper, packaging,
electronics.

Classification  • Industrial: Chemicals, scrap,

of Solid process waste.


 • Institutional: Office, school, and
Waste – hospital waste.
Sources  • Agricultural: Crop residues,
manure.
 • Others: Street debris, construction
waste.
 • Biodegradable: Organic waste like
food and yard trimmings.

Classification  • Non-Biodegradable: Plastics, glass,

– Based on metals.
 • Hazardous: Toxic, flammable, or
Physical infectious items.
Nature  • Inert Waste: Dirt, sand, and
demolition debris.
 • Collection & Transport: Waste bins,
trucks, compactors.
 • Transfer Stations: Temporary drop-
off centers.
 • Material Recovery Facilities
Engineered (MRFs): Sorting and recycling
Systems for centers.

Solid Waste  • Sanitary Landfills: Engineered for

Management safe disposal.


 • Waste-to-Energy Plants: Generate
electricity or heat.
 • Monitoring Systems: Track
leachate and emissions.
 • Selection depends on waste type,
Disposal & cost, and environmental impact.
Recovery  • Aim to reduce landfill use and
Methods – maximize recycling and energy

Overview recovery.
 • Waste dumped in uncontrolled
areas.

Open  • Major cause of soil, air, and water


pollution.
Dumping  • Illegal or phased out in most
countries.
 • Burns waste at high temperatures.
 • Reduces volume by 70–90%.
Incineration  • Energy can be recovered, but
emissions must be controlled.
Incineration
 • Waste buried in engineered pits.
 • Lined to prevent groundwater

Landfilling contamination.
 • Methane gas recovery possible in
modern landfills.
Landfilling
 • Organic waste decomposed
without oxygen.

Anaerobic  • Produces biogas (methane) and


digestate (fertilizer).
Digestion  • Suitable for food and animal
waste.
 • Aerobic process converting
organic waste into compost.
 • Helps soil health and reduces
Composting landfill load.
 • Can be household or industrial
scale.
Composting
 • Earthworms break down organic
matter into rich compost.
Vermicompos  • Faster than traditional composting.
ting  • Ideal for small-scale, eco-friendly
use.
Vermicompos
ting
 • Hazardous waste sealed in
containers with cement, plastic, or
polymers.
Encapsulatio  • Prevents leakage into the
n environment.
 • Used for biomedical or chemical
waste.
 • Integrated Solid Waste
Management (ISWM): Combines

Management methods for efficiency.


 • The 5Rs: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle,
of Solid Recover, and Residuals disposal.
Waste  • Policy & Public Involvement: Key
to sustainable success.
 • Solid waste management is
essential for a healthy society.
 • Combining modern methods and

Conclusion public participation yields the best


results.
 • The future lies in zero waste and
circular economy models.
