Chapter 1

Introduction.
Waste is more readily recognized than described. One thing can become waste if it's no
longer useful for the owner or it is employed and fails to meet its purpose ((Freduah, 2004).
You will discover basically two types of waste material namely liquid and solid waste
material. But for the purpose of the study, the focus is on solid waste material. Waste
disposal became problematic while using rise of towns and cities where many more people
started to congregate in relatively small areas in search of livelihoods (Shafiul & Mansoor,
2003).While the population densities in city areas and per capita waste generation increased,
the available land for waste disposal decreased proportionately. Solid waste disposal and
management is both an urban and rural problem. Every person is a potential generator of
waste and thus a contribute to this problem. To generate waste is one thing, the type of
waste generated is another and yet also the way the generated waste is managed or disposed
of is quite a different issue. It has more often than not turned out that the rate at which solid
waste is generated is far higher than the capacity to responsibly manage this waste. Waste is
generated by, and from different sectors; domestic, commercial, industry and others and in
many instances; the waste management responsibility has been left to the government or
administrative authorities. There is growing consensus that the immediate stakeholders in
the issue of solid waste (the generators of waste), in this case the residents need to join
hands with the authorities in dealing with this problem that has far-reaching environmental
and human health effects. Solid waste management thus emerged as an essential, specialized
sector for keeping cities healthy and livable.
Solid waste management refers to source separation, storage, collection, transportation and final
disposal of waste in an environmentally sustainable manner. In the light with this, solid waste
management is an essential environmental health service, and a fundamental piece of basic
services. This is simply because, the health implications of poor waste management are often
very damaging to the people subjected to these unsanitary conditions. Diseases like cholera,
typhoid, dysentery and malaria are typical related to the practice involving poor waste

management. This could lead to the loss of human resources needed within the development of
the country ( Zerbock, O. 2003. Urban Solid Waste Management).
The collection, transfer and disposal of waste happen to be generally assumed by city governing
bodies in both developed and developing world. This constitutes a fundamental and expected
government function. The format varies for most areas where solid waste is collected either with
a government agency or private contractor. Despite the fact that developing countries do spend
about 20 to 40 per cent of urban revenues on waste management, they are unable to keep pace
with the scope of the problem (Zerbock, 2003). In reality, when the governments of different
countries were required because of the World Health Organization (WHO) to prioritize their
environmental health problems, the results revealed that solid waste was defined as the second
most important trouble after water quality (Zerbock, 2003).
Landfilling is among the most common ways connected with municipal solid waste (MSW)
removal in developing countries. MSW comprises different organic and inorganic fractions
including food, vegetables, paper, wooden, plastics, glass, metal along with other inert materials.
In locations, it is collected by the municipalities and transported in order to designate disposal
sites. This insanitary method adopted for disposal connected with waste cause serious health and
environmental problems. The inadequately maintained landfill sites are susceptible to
groundwater contamination because connected with leachate percolation (Mor et al.,in
press).The type of decision making leading to adequate reliable waste management (SWM)
needs a sound understanding from the composition and the processes that decide the generation
regarding waste (Acurio et al.,1997). Special attention needs to be paid to the waste material
generation sources since the actual characteristics and composition in the waste differ according
on their source (Tchobanoglous et al.,1996). Taking into consideration this, waste management
programs in line with the knowledge of the waste material composition and on the fitness of the
market for recyclables could well be more successful than your ambitious programs copied from
someplace else. For this reason, while proposing waste management strategies these must be
based on the reality of the generating source, thus, you will need to know both the characteristics
of the waste and the recyclables neighborhood market. Inspite of the very diverse benefits of the
suitable waste management process, the setting of the latest waste system is not an easy task.
Strange (2002)argues that to take care of the problems associated along with waste management,
2

different strategies such as plans and pro-grams, specialized standards and mandatory
regulations, financial strategies (taxes in addition to financial incentives) and engaging strategies
(information campaigns, open relationships and environmental management systems) need to be
implemented to minimize waste materials. Within 2004, the General Law pertaining to Waste
Prevention and Integrated Managing (SEMARNAT, 2003) took effect. Based on this new law,
waste generators are obliged to reduce waste generation and to valorize and manage waste in a
integrated manner. Among other factors, this law requires generators to execute a basic
characterization that allows the crooks to standardize their waste inventory and helps the crooks
to orient and promote waste valorization; waste reduction practices also to develop strategies for
the execution of integrated waste management programs. Waste management programs in higher
education institutions in industrialized countries began a lot more than 20 years ago and fluctuate
from voluntary and local attempts to institutionalized programs (Armijo et al.,2003). A number
of the higher education initiatives focused upon recycling and waste reduction happen to be very
successful. Recycling programs are the most popular environmental initiatives; in America 80%
of the universities and colleges have institutionalized waste applications (Allen, 1999).
Solid waste management is a fundamental element of urban and environmental management, like
the majority of other infrastructural services has come under great stress, contemplate low
priority areas, solid waste management was never absorbed seriously either by public or even by
concerned agency or authorities now the piled up waste can be threatening our heath,
environment and also well-being (Chouhan and Reddy 1996, Mazumdar 1994 & Yadav et al.
2009). Waste minimization is often a methodology used to achieve waste reduction, primarily
through reduction from source, but also including lets recycle and re-use of materials. The main
advantages of waste minimization are both ecological and financial and wide inside their
coverage. (Dhande et al. 2005). For you to implement proper waste management, various aspects
have to become considered such as: Supply reduction, Onsite storage, Collection & transfer,
Processing, in addition to Disposal (Rajput et al. 2009). Solid waste could possibly be defined as
generation of undesirable substances and that is left after they are used once. They cannot be
reused directly from the society for its welfare because some of them may be hazardous with
regard to human health. Covering of vegetables, fruits and cooked material facilitate proliferation
of group of microbial flora, which may be pathogens. (Shivashankara et al. 2005 & Macwan
2003). There are several categories of Solid Waste like food waste, rubbish, commercial waste,
3

institutional waste, block sweeping waste, industrial spend, construction and demolition spend,
and sanitation waste. Solid Waste contains recyclables (paper, plastic-type, glass, metals, etc. ),
poisonous substances (paints, pesticides, utilized batteries, medicines),compostable natural
matter (fruit and vegetable peels, food waste) and soiled waste (blood discolored cotton, sanitary
napkins, throw-away syringes) (Jha et al.,2003, Reddy & Galab, 1998, and Khan, 1994). The
quality of Solid Waste generated depends on many factors such as food habits, standard of
residing, degree of commercial things to do and seasons. Data on quantity variation and
generation are of help in planning for collection and disposal systems.
Quickly growing populations, rapid financial growth and rise with community living standards
get accelerated the generation price of municipal solid waste (MSW) causing its management
becoming a major worldwide challenge (Seo et ing., 2004). Specially in urban cities of
developing countries, MSW management (MSWM) can be a highly neglected area (Zhen-shan et
's., 2009; Batool and Ch, 2009; Chung and Carlos Lo, '08; ). The particular awareness that
improper handling of MSW causes contamination of water, soil and atmosphere and it is a major
impact onpublic healthhas caused developing nations to handle this issue with increasing
urgency (Batool and Ch, 2009; Sharholy et al.,2008). Particularly, the collection of MSW offers
been identified as a problem since in many locations municipal authorities are often unable or
unwilling to provide waste variety services to all residents into their jurisdiction. Typically, up to
50% regarding residents lack collection services in urban areas of low and midst income
countries (Parizeau et 's., 2006). There are limited opportunities for that development of a
sustainable SWM systems as government budgets are limited and even more than often,
collection will be overlooked; only the proper disposal of solid waste is perceived as representing
a cost (McBean et 's., 2005). In addition to being a technical problem, MSWM is also strongly
influenced by political, legitimate, socio-cultural, environmental, economic factors and available
resources. These factors have interrelationships that are usually complex in throw away
management systems (Abu Qdais, 2007; Kum et ing., 2005). Each one of these issues need to be
addressed to reach a sustainable MSWM answer. It is usually not the environmental law itself
that is the primary focus of the problem; some developing countries have an overabundance of
refined legislation than formulated countries. Rather, it is lacking enforcement and the
accessibility to viable alternatives (Fourie, 2006).

FDA inside Faisalabad city (being an industrial city) is in charge of water, drainage and
sanitation, while the FMC is answerable to SWM, itself considered as the Cinderella of urban
services. In reply to this situation, Faisalabad has been the focus of many multilateral, bilateral
and NGO elegant development projects, some of which may have included engagement with the
FMC in issues of SWM. The Entire world Bank, for example, has systematically pushed the
downsizing of municipal payrolls according of solid waste services. The issues from their
perspective are clearly illustrated with this excerpt from one of the strategy documents for
Pakistan (World Traditional bank, 1996). Solid waste in Faisalabad is generally composed of
plastic and plastic, metal, paper and cardboard, fabric waste, glass, food waste, animal waste,
leaves, straw and fodder, solid wood, stone and fines to different extent. Faisalabad got the status
of city district government prior to a 2005 local council elections, which holds the district
administration to blame for collection and disposal of strong waste.
Sustainable development of cities requires an important waste management strategy that takes
into account all the stages coming from the generation to one more disposal (Aranda Usn et 's.,
2013). When taking decisions about the design of infrastructures or perhaps the implementation
of management policies, experts worldwide possess recognized the importance of considering
the whole system in any holistic manner (Coffey and also Coad, 2010). Waste treatment is
usually pointed out as the key stage of Urban Squander (UW) management. Nevertheless, this
stage is directly linked with waste quantity and quality (composition). An inaccurate evaluation
of the amount of waste generated difficulties to optimize the design in the required
infrastructures and establishments. Under or over-estimation in the UW generation has therefore
significant consequences in words of additional costs and also environmental impacts (Beigl et
al.,2003).
The actual success of waste operations planning either for short-term (daily city management) or
long-term (design connected with processing facilities), lies within the knowledge of the problem
as well as in the accuracy and reliability of the used data (Chen as well as Chang, 2000; NavarroEsbr et al.,2002; Zaman and Lehmann, 2013).Biscay areas are mainly grouped throughout
communities (unions of services) so that you can accomplish waste collection activities (Lozano
Valencia and Lozano Valencia, 2008). lmost all towns use separate series systems for main
recyclable supplies. Glass, light-weight packages, card stock and cardboard are compiled mainly
5

at drop-off points, and kerbside collection is used for mixed waste. Additionally, oil, textiles and
electric batteries, as well as cumbersome and miscellaneous wastes, are usually collected
separately by specific management services or from clean points.
Stable waste disposal poses a much better problem because it qualified prospects to land
pollution in case openly dumped, water air pollution if dumped in low lands and associated with
the if burnt. Pakistan is facing serious environment degradation and public-health possibility due
to uncollected disposal regarding waste on streets and other public areas, clogged drainage
program by indiscriminately dumped waste materials and by contamination regarding water
resources near out of control dumping sites..
Faisalabad occupants generate 1, 275 tonnes of solid waste every day but the administration
disposes associated with only 600 to 700 tonnes. The waste is left to litter box streets and roads
causing health insurance and environmental diseases. Also no separate system is place to collect
waste through slaughterhouses and hospitals. CDGF had no arrangements pertaining to
maintenance of refuse-lifting vehicles and 35 to 40 per cent of waste-collecting fleet is off of the
road. Those being used are outdate (Anonymous, 2006). Inadequate collection of solid waste and
unsatisfactory disposal for the landfill site posing environmental degradation and side effects
include the following: Faisalabad City's 3. 3 million residents daily generation of garbage is
concerning 1, 150 tons, but the lifting capacity from the department is about 900 tons on a daily
basis. This is because of the inadequate amount of waste lifting vehicles available on the
department. Most of the autos are old and outdated. There are no formal facilities to reduce how
big is waste through reuse or recycling where possible. There is no facility to weigh the waste;
The primary collection of waste from households and also the sweeping of roads is
unsatisfactory a result of the inadequate number of sanitary workers; The hazardous waste from
hospitals and industry is dumped untreated along with the municipal waste; Open dumping is
carried out at landfill site (Anonymous, 2009).
Swift upward changes in urbanization, population growth and lifestyles within developing
countries contribute to be able to increasing the per capita city and county waste generation.
Keeping pace with these developments require commensurate progress in schemes to protecting
environmental surroundings, to improving public health insurance and accomplishing effective
and successful municipal solid waste (MSW) managing. This should be a priority particularly for
6

cities within developing countries (Bartelings two and Sterner, 1999; Jin et al.,2006). According
to Bartelings in addition to Sterner (1999).
Improper management of solid waste practically in most cities of developing international
locations leads to problems that impair human and animal health and ultimately result in
monetary, environmental and biological loss (Sharholy et al.,2007; 2008) considering that
landfill disposal and waste-to-energy (WTE) incineration remains both the principal options for
taking care of municipal solid waste practically in most parts of the planet (Moy et al.,2008).
Leachate from municipalities landfills represents the potential health risk to both surrounding
ecosystems and also human populations (Salem et al.,2008)
waste in landfills generates methane which includes high global warming likely (Papageorgiou
et al.,2009). Effective management of municipal solid waste is essential and could provide
environmental benefits and sustainable progress, as well as lessen adverse impacts on
community health. To address both the earth's dwindling resources as well as the growing
mountains of waste materials, many countries have launched statutory waste minimization along
with recovery targets to ensure judicious use of these resources. The average person usually does
not make the link between your two and usually are generally more concerned with the effects
that waste has on the environment (Emery et al.,2007).
City Solid Waste (MSW) operations, the discipline associated with all the control of generation,
storage space, collection, transfer, processing in addition to disposal of solid solid waste material,
in a way which is governed by the finest principles of public wellness, economics, engineering,
aesthetics along with other environmental considerations (Daskalopoulos et al.,1997). In spite
from the improved development of research and technology, solid waste management remains to
be a serious environmental trouble for most communities across the world (Su et al.,2008). City
Solid Waste management is one of the most vital issues inside contemporary urban
environments; particularly in developing countries (Swati in addition to Vikram, 2010) like
Ghana and is one of the challenging issues in the particular cities, which are continually facing a
serious pollution problem a result of the generation of huge volumes of unmanageable solid
squander (Kumar et al.,2009).

Fast industrialization and population huge increase I has led on the migration of people by
villages to cities, which generate a large number of tons of MSW day-to-day. The MSW amount
is expected to increase significantly in the long run as the country strives to get an industrialized
nation status with the year 2020 (Sharma in addition to Shah, 2005; CPCB, 2004; Shekdar et al.,
1992). Poor collection in addition to inadequate transportation are dependable for the
accumulation of MSW at every nook and corner. The management of MSW will be through a
critical period, due to the unavailability of suitable facilities to treat and eliminate the larger
amount of MSW generated daily inside metropolitan cities. Unscientific discretion causes an
adverse affect all components of the surroundings and human health (Rathi, 2006; Sharholy et
al., 2005; Ray et al., 2005; Jha et al.,2003; Kansal, 2002; Kansal et al.,1998; Singh and Singh,
1998; Gupta et al.,1998).
The actual waste management companies (WMC) accounts for solid waste management inside
the cities of Pakistan. waste materials management companies is dealing with serious problems
in providing a reasonable service to the location dwellers with its limited resources plus a poor
management plan. A inadequate information base (regarding quantity, type and characteristics
involving wastes), poor operation along with maintenance of service facilities and first and
foremost lack of civic awareness for a section of people are adding up on the deteriorating
environmental situation
Current study will be conducted by keeping the following objectives in view
1. To find out the per capita production of solid waste in different areas of Faisalabad.
2. To separate the waste physically in different components in all sampling sites of Faisalabad
and to compare all the sites.
3. To determine composition of waste components in all the sampling sites of Faisalabad.

Review of literature.
In the early 1990s the water and Sanitation Agency (WASA, 1993) acknowledged the sewerage
situation in Faisalabad ended up being far below acceptable specifications, having been designed
to have an area of 10 rectangular kilometres. Physically, Faisalabad had at the same time
experienced a fivefold expansion inside the geographical size of town, along with rapid populace
growth. This put the machine under tremendous pressure so that Faisalabad became a town in
sanitary crisis. A survey conducted through the Faisalabad Development Authority found that 50
per cent of households across town reported having had one or more member suffer from a new
water and sanitation related disease in the last year, with diarrhoea being one of the most
frequently contracted disease (FDA, 1994). This was during a period when the water supply was
deemed to get profoundly unsafe, with 80 percent of areas not conforming to WHO standards
(SEBCON 1991; 13). Research reported on a decade later suggested that issues had improved
only marginally knowning that two-thirds of Faisalabads two million people live in areas with
little if any official provision for services (Alimuddin et al., 2001).
This statement reveals engagement only with more visible and public confront of SWM in
Faisalabad, displaying chronic oversight of much of the private and everyday world of waste
variety described below. The Faisalabad Location Upgrading Project (FAUP), that is started by
the British and later absorbed by Pakistan, paid more attention to a few of the informal dynamics
associated having waste management. However, it was primarily confined to responding to the
role of squander pickers in recycling. primary, for example, to the establishment of any flexitime school for the children of Changars, a group related to scavenging in Faisalabad. While
constituting a vital advance in recognizing this social relations underpinning SWM with
Pakistan, initially the project failed completely to name the informal dynamics regarding waste
collection, operating within and alongside the formal services furnished by the FMC (ODA,
1994).

Mbuligwe (2002) claimed institutional solid waste administration in three Tanzanian institutions. It is noted there are indeed advantages in taking care of solid waste at institutionallevel
with the institutions unique characteristics of which also influence their waste management
needs. The paper outlines findings coming from a yearlong study on institutional solidwaste
administration at three institutions: University or college of Dar es Salaam (UDSM), University
or college College of Lands and Architectural Studies (UCLAS) and Water Resources Institute
(WRI).
Reviews and field investigations, which includes on-site waste measurements and questionnaire
surveys were performed at UDSM, UCLAS and WRI. The study provides revealed, among other
factors, that per capita waste materials generation rates, WGvary between staff and students
within each institution and also among the three corporations. The composition of the particular
waste was found for being predominantly organic in characteristics, suggesting a strong resource
recovery potential with regard to animal feed or creation of biogas through anaerobic digestion
of food. Additionally, the WGwas found to vary consistent with changes in institutional activities
like normal studies, examinations and holidays. The study has shown that resource recovery can
greatly enhance solid waste management at the case study institutions.
Fiorucci et al. (2003) reported a determination support system (DSS) developed to assist the
planner in decisions regarding the overall management of solid waste at the municipal scale is
described. The DSS allows to plan the optimal number of landfills and treatment plants, and to
determine the optimal quantities and the characteristics from the refuse that has to be sent to
treatment vegetation, to landfills and to help recycling. The application of the DSS is dependent
on the solution of the constrained non-linear optimization dilemma. Various classes of constraints
are introduced in the dilemma formulation, taking into account the regulations around the
minimum requirements for recycling where possible, incineration process requirements, sanitary
landfill preservation, and mass balance.
The purchase price function to be decreased includes recycling, transportation and maintenance
costs. The DSS have been tested on the municipality regarding Genova, Italy, and the final
results obtained are presented.

Beall (2007) surveyed urban service delivery in Faisalabad, Pakistans third largest city.
Focusing on changing behavior of residential waste removal and depending on ethnographic
work among small section Christian street sweepers, the little sub-worlds involved in domestic
rubbish collection are discovered, showing how these articulate with larger thought worlds
regarding dirt and disorder. The symbolic meanings associated with dirt across public as well as
private spheres are reviewed alongside efforts by development practitioners and donors for you
to impose generic policy solutions relevant to privatised delivery. Drawing on Mary Douglass
insights about how exactly ritual pollution or danger-beliefs serve generally to help keep
socialcategories and hierarchies, the content nevertheless points to the actual historically
contingent specificities associated with caste-like relations in urban Pakistan and how these have
been constructed. It shows precisely how under increasing competition pertaining to scarce jobs,
entitlements connected with hereditary status-based occupations are again appealed to and
reconstructed by simply these vulnerable waste individuals, shaping in the course of action urban
service delivery as well as the relations that underpin the idea. The disjuncture born associated
with diverse logics about soil and disorder reveal a great institutional multiplicity and messy
social reality that sits uneasily with development as a possible ordering and unidirectional course
of action.
Hazra & Goel (2009) presented an understanding of current solid throw away management
(SWM) practices with Kolkata, India and suggests solutions to a lot of the major problems. More
than 2920 ton/d associated with solid waste are generated from the Kolkata Municipal
Corporation (KMC) area as well as the budget allocation for 20072008 was Rs. 1590 million
(US$40 million), that amounts to Rs. 265/cap-y (US$6. 7/cap-d) about SWM. This expenditure
is insufficient to supply adequate SWM services. Major deficiencies were within all elements of
SWM. Despite 70% of the SWM budget being designated for collection, collection efficiency
approximately 6070% for the registered residents and below 20% for unregistered residents
(slum dwellers). The collection process is deficient in terms of manpower and vehicle
accessibility. Bin capacity provided is enough but locations were found for being inappropriate,
thus contributing on the inefficiency of the program. At this time, no treatment is provided on the
waste and waste is dumped on open terrain at Dhapa after selection. Lack of suitable facilities
(equipment and infrastructure) along with underestimates of waste technology rates, inadequate

11

management along with technical skills, improper bin collection, and route planning have the
effect of poor collection and vehicles of municipal solid wastes.
Piers (2011) conducted a thorough literature review of products and tools illuminating feasible
overlapped boundaries in spend management practices in Europe and encompassing the positives
and negatives of waste management procedures in each member state of the european union.
Whereas the Southern European union (EU) countries need in order to develop further measures
to put into practice more integrated solid spend management and reach EUROPEAN directives,
the Central EUROPEAN countries need models as well as tools with which to help rationalize
their technological choices and management strategies. Nevertheless, considering systems
analysis models and tools in a very synergistic way would certainly provide opportunities in
order to develop better solid waste managementstrategies ultimately causing conformity with
current criteria and foster future perspectives for both the waste management industry as well as
government agencies in European union.
Khajooria et al., (2011) described developing Parts of asia, the municipal corporations can't
handle the increasing level of municipal solid waste, which into the uncollected waste being
spread on roads and in other public areas ultimately causing tremendouspollution and destruction
connected with land and negative have an effect on human health. Generation of municipal solid
waste increases with all the rapid urbanization and accelerated economic development with
inside rapidly growing advanced design societies. The nature of municipal solid waste can be a
term usually applied to some heterogeneous collection group of waste stated in urban areas, the
nature of which varies from region to help region. The common problem experienced by all
developing Parts of asia, is the dis posal connected with municipal solid waste and availability of
land fill site area. Present study explains the actual correlation analysis of among different
factorsof municipal solid waste plus the objective is to measure the future municipal solid
squander stream in Asian building countries. The other goal with this study was to calculate the
long run land area that might be required for landfillsite discretion in Asian developing places.
Allesch in addition to Brunner (2014) assessed means of common tools to help decisions
regarding waste managing. The objective of this review article is to provide guidance for the
selection of appropriate evaluation methods. For this specific purpose, frequently used
assessment strategies are reviewed, categorised, in addition to summarised. In total, 151 studies
12

are considered in view of the goals, methodologies, systems perused, and results regarding
economic, environmental, and social issues. A goal shared by all studies could be the support of
stakeholders. Most studies derive from life cycle assessments, multi-criteria-decision-making,
cost-benefit examination, risk assessments, and benchmarking. Approximately 40% from the
reviewed articles are life cycle assessment-based; and greater than 50% apply scenario analysis
to distinguish the best waste managing options. Most studies focus on municipal solid waste in
addition to consider specific environmental loadings. Economic aspects are considered by
approximately 50% from the studies, and only a smaller number evaluate social facets. The
choice of system elements and boundaries varies significantly one of the studies; thus,
assessment email address particulars are sometimes contradictory. Based within the results of
this evaluate, we recommend the subsequent considerations when assessing squander
management systems: (i) a mass balance approach determined by a rigid input-output analysis
from the entire system, (ii) a goal-oriented evaluation from the results of the mass balance, which
takes into account the intended waste managing objectives; and (iii) a clear and reproducible
presentation from the methodology, data, and final results.
The particular solid waste management system isn't operated satisfactorily. In view on this,
source specific quantification along with characterization of municipal stable waste assumes
great significance which will enable accurate assessment involving waste load and it will be
easier for proper preparing of solid waste operations system. This would help out with achieving
the objectives of proper utilization of available resources and safeguard of environment and
community health. The present paper highlights benefit of source specific quantification along
with characterization of municipal stable waste ( Mbuligwe, S.E ,2002.)
The composition and the quantity of MSW generated from the cornerstone on which the
management system needs to be planned, designed as well as operated. In India, MSW may
differ greatly with regard to the composition and hazardous nature, in comparison with MSW in
the western countries (Gupta et al.,1998; Shannigrahi et al.,1997; Jalan and Sri-vastava, 1995).

Solid waste management chain requires intensive by using Environmental Sound Technology
(EST) due to the activities which could end up being as simple as pots for primary collection for
13

you to as complicated as incinerators regarding disposal of hazardous waste materials (UNEP,

2009). To Daskalopoulos et al.,(1997), Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) management is considered
to be the discipline associated with the control of generation, storage, collection, transfer,
processing and also disposal of MSW, within a way which is governed because of the best
principles of community health, economics, engineering, aesthetics and also other environmental
considerations. This description of MSW management is the ideal that most metropolitan,
municipal and district assemblies are struggling to realize. In most countries, nearby
governments are responsible regarding municipal solid waste management (UNEP, 2009). Solid
waste materials management has become a serious environmental problem for most communities
all around the globe (Su et al.,2008). Improper waste handling, storage, collection and disposal
techniques pose environmental and public health conditions (Bartelings and Sterner, 1999).
Anthropogenic activities in society generate significant quantities of wastes posing the problem
for their discretion (Chandra and Devi, 2009). Almost all such human activities generate some
number of waste. Rapid increase in volume and types of solid and hazardous waste because of
continuous economic growth, urbanization as well as industrialization, is an up-and-coming issue
for national and local governments to guarantee effective and sustainable management of waste.
It was estimated that in 2006 just how much of municipal solid waste (MSW) generated globally
gotten to 2. 02 billion colors, representing a 7% 12-monthly increase since 2003 (Global Throw
away Management Market Report, 2007). It had been further estimated that involving 2007 and
2011, world-wide generation of municipal waste will rise to 37. 3%; equivalent to roughly 8%
increase each year. To Asase et al., (2009), the estimated regular municipal waste generation rate
in Kumasi is 0.6 kg per capita. According to Collivignarelli et al., (2004), waste production as
well as composition depend on several factors, such as your stage of development; socioeconomic, climatic and geographical conditions as well as collection frequency (Sharholy et al.,
2008). With its resultant exponential growth coupled with insufficient data for organizing, it does
not boost effective waste management in addition to, increasing population levels, swift
economic growth and surge in eight community dwelling standards accelerate the creation rate of
municipal strong waste in cities (Bartelings as well as Sterner, 1999). According for you to
UNEP (2005) the rate of waste generation usually increases in direct proportion compared to that
of a nations advance in development and failure to produce a management system could result
in greater environmental degradation with increase health risk on the urban population. To offer
14

effective management system, there is certainly the need for information on quantity variation
and generation to policy for collection and disposal methods (Sharholy et al.,2008).
Recently, the burdens that waste puts for the environment has been commonly publicized, To
address both the earth's dwindling resources plus the growing mountains of squander many
countries have unveiled statutory waste minimization along with recovery targets (Emery et
al.,2007). Minimization of municipal strong waste and diversion from landfill to derived
recyclables are necessary to manage waste sustainably and gain legislative compliance (Bench et
al.,2005). Public participation inside Local Authority schemes is key to increasing house
recycling levels; however, the simplest way to reduce waste is to manage it at source, by way of
waste minimization (Tonglet et al.,2004).
Any publication on solid waste materials management by UNEP (2005) indicates which the
informal recovery and reuse of materials from your waste stream occurs at several nine levels
inside Africa; moreover, scavengers furthermore recover materials for personal and commercial
purposes. On the other hand, the extent of business recycling of paper, metals, glass, and plastic
depends upon the presence of industrial or other end uses for these materials. UNEP (2005),
further observed the rate of reuse of materials is full of household with low-income, although in
high-income areas, recovery is carried out through domestic servants and/or wardens. Reusing
the materials directly, they rather sell bottles, plastics, cardboard, and paper to intermediaries or
perhaps commercial centres that purchase these materials. This will be confirmed by Chandra
and Devi (2009), that high income group people dispose of more plastic, metallic, cup waste and
hazardous waste than the low income group.
collecting municipal solid waste (MSW) is often a major and expensive process for local waste
managing authorities, thus efficient MSW collection is often a necessity (You-Ti et al.,2011).
Solid wastes might be segregated at source, with transfer stations and with disposal area for
subsequent use as secondary products. More emphasis needs, even so, to be eleven laid on
segregation and assortment of waste at door step- the cause of generation (Chandra as well as
Devi, 2009); as waste segregation with the household level is certainly not widely practiced and
throws away recycling is minimal.

15

Primarily, there are two strong waste collection systems door to door collection system which
occurs in the low density elements of the urban centres, and communal collection system inside
the high density areas (Agyepong, 2011). Collection can be a key link in the particular chain of
MSW management through the point of generation to ultimate disposal and in a initiative to
upgrade squander management service, sustainable, contextually appropriate collection ought to
be a major focus connected with attention. Where collection is performed by non-mechanical
means, the actual of material to be collected often exceeds the ability of the collection method
(UNEP, 2005); in additional words manual collection method is inefficient. In the majority of
cities, a fraction connected with MSW generated remains uncollected upon streets, and what is
actually collected is transported to be able to processing or disposal internet sites (Sharholy et
al.,2008).
waste material collections generally occur at dawn ahead of the commercial centers open and at
dusk immediately after these centres have closed of waking time. Waste collection from market
places and commercial centres usually are made in the nighttime while waste collection from
residential regions and of street sweepings is created at dawn (UNEP, 2005). The collection
service shall be rendered on the basis of cost recovery (EPA, 1999). Most of the waste could be
diverted with regard to material and resource healing, then a substantial cut of final volumes of
waste might be achieved and the recovered material and resources might be utilized. In most
cities, collection is provided with the municipality; what are much more, private operators also
provide service on a fee basis to homeowners and commercial establishments (UNEP, 2005).
Storage of MSW with the source of generation will be substantially lacking in the vast majority
of urban areas. Storage bins are routine for both decomposable and also non-decomposable waste
(no separating of waste is performed) and the waste is subsequently disposed in a communal
disposal centre (Sharholy et al., Furthermore, inside communities where house-to-house
collection just isn't appropriate, the Assembly shall designate communal storage space sites
where solid waste could be discharged into a preset or moveable container. The containers need
to be readily accessible to those dumping wastes, including youngsters.
The particular mass of waste stated in the world has been growing considerably for many
decades especially in well-off countries as shown from the link between national major domestic
product (GDP) as well as waste generation per capita (World Traditional bank, 1992; OECD,
16

2003). Though waste data on waste arising is often incomplete and in several cases unreliable,
recent estimates suggest that the municipal solid spend (MSW) alone generated internationally
exceeded 2 billion tones each year at the turn of the millennium.
It's worth mentioning that many waste materials (sewage sludge, professional waste) is
increasingly spread on agricul-tural land since soil amendments. These undoubtedly make a
num-ber of positive outcomes on soil quality, but also raise concern about potential short-term (e.
g. virus survival) and long-term outcomes (e. g. accumulation involving heavy metals). Climate
change will also be-come an essential incentive to using biosolids on agricultural terrain,
especially in regions in which longer periods of small rainfall and mean higher temperatures
need. In many parts on the world (e. g. European countries, USA) agricultural soils get large
volumes of soil amendments. Approximately 5. 5 mil dry tonnes of sewage sludge are used as
well as disposed of annually in the united states and approximately 60% from it is used for
terrain application (NRC, 2000a). Use of biosolids to soil probably will increase as a
consequence of the diversion of waste faraway from landfill sites, and caused by increasing cost
of artificial fertilizers (UNEP, 2002; Epstein, 2003).
Previous research has identified the particular stakeholders or people or perhaps organizations
that may have an interest in adequate waste administration. The stakeholders reported are
generally: national and local government (Shekdar, 2009); municipal regulators; city
corporations; non-governmental businesses (NGOs); households (Sujauddin et al.,2008); private
contractors; Ministries of Health; Environment, Economy along with Finance (Geng et al.,2009)
and recycling firms (Tai et al.,2011).
Some scholars have identified factors influencing sun and rain of the waste management
systems. According to Sujauddin et al., (2008) the generation of waste is influenced by family
size, their education level and also the monthly income. Households attitudes related to
separation of waste are influenced by the active support and also investment of a property
company, community residential committees guidance for public participation (Zhuang et al,.
2008) and fee for collection service in line with the waste volume or fat(Scheinberg, 2011).
Gender, fellow influence, land size, location of household and membership of environmental
organization explain household waste utilization and also separation behavior (Ekere et
al.,2009). It is often reported that collection, transfer and transport practices are influenced by
17

improper bin collection methods, poor route planning, deficiency of information about collection
plan (Hazra and Goel, 2009), inadequate infrastructure (Moghadam et al.,2009), poor roads and
volume of vehicles for waste variety (Henry et al.,2006). Planning the informal sector and also
promoting microenterprises were pointed out by Sharholy et al., (2008) as effective methods for
extending affordable waste variety services. Deficiency of knowledge of treatment devices by
authorities is re-ported jointly factor affecting the treatment of waste (Chung and Lo, 2008).
Tadesse et al., (2008

)analyzed the factors of which influence house-hold waste removal

decision making. Results showed that this sup-ply of waste establishments significantly affects
waste removal choice. Inadequate supply associated with waste containers and extended distance
to these containers raise the probability of waste dropping in open areas and roadsides relative to
using communal containers. Insufficient money limiting the safe removal of waste in effectively
equipped and engineered landfills and lack of legislation are mentioned by Pokhrel and also
Viraraghavan (2005).
With regards to the pricing for disposal Scheinberg (2011), analyzing the data from Solid Waste
Management from the Worlds Cities (Scheinberg et al.,2010), notes that there are indications
that high prices of recovery are associated with showing fees at the disposal web site. High
disposal pricing provides the effect of more healing of waste generated, that visits the value
chains or maybe beneficial reuse of waste. In relation to recycling Gonzalez-Torre and
AdensoDiaz (2005) described that social influences, charitable and regulatory factors are some
of the reasons why certain communities develop sturdy recycling habits. The authors also
showed that men and women who frequently go to the bins to recycle general refuse will
probably recycle some product in the home, and in most conditions, as the distance on the
recycling bins decreases, the volume of fractions that citizens separate and collect in the home
increases. Minghua et al., (2009)stated that in order to improve recycling rates, the authorities
should encourage markets intended for recycled materials and raising professionalism in
recycling companies. Other factors mentioned through other scholars are financial support for
recycling projects and infrastructures (Nissim et al.,2005), recycling companies inside country
(Henry et al.,2006), drop-off and acquire back centers (Matete in addition to Trois, 2008) and
organization from the informal sector (Sharholy et al.,2008).

18

Literature suggests that technical factors influencing the machine are related to not enough
technical skills among staff within municipalities and government authorities (Hazra and
Goel,2009), deficient infrastructure (Moghadam et al.,2009), poor roads along with vehicles
(Henry et al.,2006), insufficient technologies along with reliable data (Mrayyan along with
Hamdi, 2006). Matete as well as Trois (2008) and Asase et al.,(2009) respectively suggested that
the factors affecting environmentally friendly aspect of solid spend management in developing
countries are having less environmental control systems and evaluation in the real impacts. Ekere
et al., (2009) proposed that the involvement in the population in active environmental
organizations is essential to have better methods. Municipalities have never manage solid waste
because of financial factors. The huge expenditure was required to provide the service (Sharholy
et al.,2007), the absence connected with financial support, limited re-sources, the unwillingness
of the users to afford the service (Sujauddin et al.,2008) and lack of proper utilization of
economic instruments have hampered the actual delivery of proper waste materials management
services. Sharholy et al., (2008 ) indicated that the engagement of the private sector is usually a
factor that could improve the efficiency of the program. It truly is generally regarded that waste
management would be the sole duty and liability of local authorities, and that the public is
definitely not expected to contribute (Vidanaarachchi et al.,2006). The operational efficiency of
solid waste management is determined by the active participation of the municipal agency and
the citizens, there-fore, socio cultural aspects mentioned by many scholars include people
participating in decision making (Sharholy et al.,2008), community awareness in addition to
societal apathy for making contributions in solutions (Moghadam et al.,2009). Management
deficiencies in many cases are observed in the municipalities. Some researchers which may have
investigated the institutional factors that affect the system have come to the final outcome that
local waste management authorities have a lack of organizational capacities (leadership) in
addition to professional knowledge. Besides they concluded that this information available is
very scanty through the public domain (Chung in addition to Lo, 2008). The extremely limited
information is just not complete or is dispersed around various agencies anxious; therefore, it is
extremely difficult to get an insight into the actual complex problem of municipal solid waste
management (Seng et al.,2010). Waste workers are generally associated to low societal status
(Vidanaarachchi et al.,2006) situation that gives as a result low motivation among your solid
waste employees. People in politics give low priority to be able to solid waste compared to be
19

able to other municipal activities (Moghadam et al.,2009) with the final result of limited trained
and skilled personnel inside the municipalities (Sharholy et al.,2008). Positive factors mentioned
that enhance the system are support via municipal authorities (Zurbrgg et al.,2005) and strategic
options for waste management that permits monitoring and evaluating yearly the system (Asase
et al.,2009). Researchers have documented how a respectable legal framework contributes
positively to the development of the integrated waste management system (Asase et al.,2009)
while the deficiency of satisfactory policies (Mrayyan along with Hamdi, 2006) and fragile
regulations (Seng et al.,2010) are detrimental into it.
Mbuligwe (2002) noted that there are indeed advantages inside managing solid waste materials
at institutional level due to the institutions unique features that also affect their waste
supervision needs. The composition of the waste was found to become predominantly organic
inside nature, suggesting a sturdy resource recovery potential with regards to animal feed or
maybe production of biogas via anaerobic digestion. Furthermore, the WG had been found to
vary in keeping with changes in institutional activities like normal studies, tests and holidays.
The analysis has shown that will resource recovery may greatly enhance reliable waste
management at the case study organizations.
Jamasb as well as Nepal (2010) stated that growing stream of city solid waste (MSW) needs a
sustainable waste management method. At the same time, addressing climate change and security
of energy supply concerns requires increased utilization of low-carbon and domestic options for
energy. This paper assesses your economic and environmental tasks of waste management
options focusing on waste-to-energy (WTE) as the renewable resource. We discuss how WTE as
well as recycling are compatible as waste treatment plans. The cost effectiveness enhances
substantially with higher carbon prices. The findings show that WTE can be an important part of
equally waste management strategy as well as renewable energy policy although achieving the
total potential of WTE calls for development of heat distribution networks.
Jin et al., (2006) reported which the rapid economic development in addition to population
growth in Macao have resulted in a large increase in refuse generated within the last few decade.
In 2003, the quality of solid waste generated attained 249, 255 tons, corresponding to at least
one. 52 kg/day per capita. This figure has become gradually increasing. Domestic solid waste
could be the primary source of sound waste generation. In one more decade, more than 80% in
20

the total waste in Macao seemed to be incinerated. However, the incineration capacity in the
Macao Incineration Plant is going to reach its saturation prior to when expected. Waste
minimization, the establishment associated with an effective waste collection in addition to
disposal fee system, and alternate ways coping with the limited capacity of waste treatment
facilities are regarded to be major challenges sometime soon.
Solid wastes are common wastes arising from human and animal activities which might be
normally solids, semi solids, liquids in containers and those are discarded as ineffective or
unwanted. The term encompasses the particular heterogeneous mass or throwaways on the urban
community plus the more homogenous accumulations involving agricultural, industrial and
mineral wastes. In an elegant setting, the accumulation of solid wastes is a direct consequence of
existence (Thochanoglous et al.,1972).
Solid waste management will be the discipline associated with control of generation, storage,
selection, transfer, transport and disposal of the solid wastes in a fashion that is in accordance
using the best principles of general public health, economics, engineering, preservation,
aesthetics and other environmental considerations which also is responsive to help public. It
includes many administrative, financial, legal, planning and engineering functions mixed up in
whole spectrum of answers to problems of solid wastes thrust upon the community by its
inhabitants. (Thochanoglous et al.,1972).
A classic roman sign warned the individuals, Take your decline farther or you will be fined.
(Hagerty et al.,1973 ). During the Huguenot Wars the French seed garbage to build embankments
around their villages. Communication Channels Ice (1982). Disposal of wastes by burial,
the precursor of todays sanitary landfill dates back at least to biblical times. (Hagerty et
al.,1973). About 40 centuries ago composting of organic wastes had been practiced in Cnossos,
an ancient capital of Crete. (Hagerty et al.,1973).
Lack of any plan for the management of solid wastes led to epidemic of plague (the Dark-colored
Death), that killed half of the Europeans in fourteenth century and in addition caused many
subsequent epidemics. (Thochanoglous et al., 1972), In nineteenth century problems were so bad
in England make fish an urban sanitary act ended up being passed in 1888 barring the throwing
of solid wastes into ditches, waterways and water. (Thochanoglous et al.,1972).
21

Rivers and Harbours Act in the us was promulgated in 1899 to regulate the dumping of dust in
navigable waters as well as adjacent lands. (Thochanoglous et al.,1972). In nineteenth century
the furnaces were created to bum the refuse.. (Hagerty et al.,1973). Garbage reduction ended up
being introduced in 1880 as well as garbage grinding began within early 1920. (Hagerty et al.,
1973). The technique of controlled tipping (now called sanitary land filling) ended up being
introduced in 1940 in the us and a decade earlier in england. (Thochanoglous et al., 1972).
Bird et al., (2008) suggested policy behavior for safe urban and per-urban agriculture and every
day waste recycling in urban lowland areas of Africa, in particular, in lowland areas of the capital
of Cameroon, Yaound. We identify the informative variables of recycling every day waste and
their easy use in three selected lowland places. Data were collected among August and
September 2005 amongst 126 farmers. Results show which the factors contributing to the
adoption of recycled clean and decomposed kitchen waste materials are: vegetable production,
the distance between your home and its crop field and the application of livestock waste. The
factors contributing towards adoption of recycled livestock wastes are the age of the farmers, the
distance between house and its plants field, the educational amount of farmers and land size.
Alidra and Varghese (2003) reported that the solid waste management scenario in the recent
years has shifted towards a more sustainable approach. This paper brings in to focus the waste
management methods that can be adopted using Bangalore as case study, in order to achieve
economic viability and explores the sustainable options that conserves both natural and manmade resources and averts ecological risks. Bangalore, the Garden City of India with a
population of 6 million is facing the daunting task of handling 3613 tones of municipal solid
waste per day. Integrated waste management system is proposed as an option, which includes
collection, transport and processing of wastes in an environmentally sound way.
Heimlich et al., (2005) reported that by data from the Oughout. S. Environmental Protection
Company (U. S. EPA, 2001), each person in America generated 4. 5 pounds of solid waste on a
daily basis in 2000. In Iowa, nearly a ton involving locally generated residential along with
commercial waste per citizen is land filled within a year. If industrial waste is roofed, almost 1.
8 numerous locally generated waste can be land filled per resident each year. Throughout the
country, solid waste management is often a major issue. A few states have mandated up to 50
percent reduction in waste gonna landfills. Some communities are generally establishing
22

mandatory recycling plans. Waste is no extended out-of-sight and out-of-mind. Waste is now
visible included in public policy.
Visvanathan and Glawe (2006) stated the South Asian region in its entirety is experiencing rapid
city growth. Increasing population, urbanization, industrialization and changing consumption
patterns are resulting in the generation of increasing variety of solid waste and diversification of
the sort of the solid waste made. Solid waste is by far the most visible environmental problem
among many in urban areas. Increased Solid waste age group creates more environmental
problems in this region, as many cities cannot manage it due for you to institutional, regulatory,
financial, technological, and public participation shortcomings. Common problems for City and
county Solid Waste (MSW) management in your neighborhood include institutional deficiencies,
inadequate legislation and resource demands. Long and short expression plans are inadequate
caused by capital and human source limitations. There is a ought to practice integrated solid
waste management approach like: Incorporation of more environmental and economic friendly
ideas of source separation; retrieval of waste; legitimization of the informal systems; partial
privatization and public participation. Although many governments have formulated policies for
environmental protection, we were looking at only implemented in this national capital cities.
Inside rural areas, open dumping is still considered the most popular method of solid squander
disposal.
It is interesting to note that solid waste is made up of solids and also liquids and gases which are
contained. Consequently, hazardous materials in the containers in solid waste stream can present
significant risks that would have to be managed to avoid pollution and harm to human health and
the environment. The model policy legislation and regulation inception report of July 1998
indicated that there was need to standardise the definition of SW along the lines of the definition
used in St. Vincent and the Grenadines and Dominica which allowed a distinction between
materials that truly required disposal and secondary resources. The model legislation was passed
in January 2002 (CDB project files 2006).
The refuse is taken up the transfer station where it can be sorted out and crammed onto trucks for
these recycling. Pakistan Environment Welfare in addition to Recycling Program (PEWARP) ,
has built a small production model manufacturing three organic merchandise from waste
purchased through itinerant buyers at Karachis large vegetable market. The vegetable waste is
23

crushed along with the liquid extract collected which brings about liquid concentrate sold being a
pesticide, dilute liquid distributed as fertilizer and strong residue. Shehri, a Karachi centered
NGO, also known as Citizens for a Better Environment is primarily related to the protection
and conservation of the natural and built natural environment. It has produced tips for improved
bin designs in addition to promotes awareness on strong waste management. There is strong have
to gradually involve private sector in the SWM in other little cities and towns through offering
incentives. Presently, legal rules dealing with solid spend management in Pakistan are inadequate
and outdated (PEPA, 1997). You will find Guidelines for Hospital Waste Management since
1998, giving detailed information and covering all issues with safe hospital waste (Ministry of
Health, 2002).
The rationale of effective public participation is clearly based on the fact that everyone generates
waste and may be affected directly and indirectly if waste isn't well managed. Solid waste (SW)
is usually hazardous to man and the environment if not properly managed. Apart from the threat
to poor air quality, inadequate SWM increases chance of morbidity (leptospirosis, dengue
nausea, gastroenteritis etc) (Pinnock 1998). Poor management of SW may also affect ground
water and marine ecosystems. Consequently everyone must be involved in SWM intended for
effective and efficient SWM system. On the other hand waste can be quite a resource which you
can use and provide employment opportunities which could contribute to poverty alleviation
should the populations are informed, educated and included in the SWM decision making
process. With the decline from the sugar and banana industries within the Caribbean, the.
countries are all the more dependent on tourism that's still very much mother nature based.
Consequently every effort has to be made to maintain public health insurance and environment
quality for residents and tourists. It isn't only important to involve individuals in SWM but also
groups and the private sector as full control and management by the government may not be the
most efficient method.
This waste is disposed off of within or outside city and county limits into low lying down areas
like ponds and many others, without any treatment other than recyclable separation by scavenger.
The land is usually hired/leased on long period basis for disposal. Furthermore, the least
mitigating measures have likewise never been reported coming from any municipality. Treatment
and disposal technologies including sanitary land filling, composting and incineration are
24

comparatively brand new in Pakistan. Crude open dumping is the most frequent practice
throughout Pakistan and damp sites are generally set to fire to lessen the volume of amassing
waste, hence adding to the air pollution caused by the uncovered dumped waste alone (Rehan et
al,. 1998). At present, there are no landfill regulations or standards that include a basis for
compliance and monitoring, but national guidelines for these standards are prepared by the
Specialist under National Environmental Steps Plan Support Program (NEAP SP).
Solid waste management is usually a non-excludable good the way it is difficult to be protected
from the general market forces. One way of controlling non-excludable goods or services is
either from the internalization of costs (by levying charges for using the services) or by using a
command and control policy or a variety of both. Government intervention is necessary for this.
The rationality of the governments intervention can be judged if your costs of producing the
favorable or service decline as more of the good or service is produced so when production or
use of the good or service ends up with "externalities such as environment pollution (Macatdey
and Surfaces, 1995).
Pattnaik and also Reddy (2010) reported that municipal Solid Waste (MSW) management is
amongst the most vital issues from the contemporary urban environments in particular in
developing countries. Various tasks of MSW management in Pondicherry, a small erstwhile
French colony in Pondicherry Partnership Territory were assessed in order to improve the
management methods. Its per capita creation rate and quantity from the city showed gradually
escalating trend with passage of years. It was 265 tonnes /day (t/d) through 2003, which
increased for you to 370 ton /d in 2008, with a waste generation factor of 0. 59 kg/capita/day.
Awareness programs educating individuals regarding the problems along with significance of
MSW discretion were practiced through NGOs. However, it was found, that we now have some
shortcomings in the current MSW management practices, that need rectification.
So as to alter the physical variety, obtain reduction in size and recover the useable items,
techniques like milling, sorting, compaction; shredding composting and hydropulpery are
increasingly being employed. (Tariq and Hayat, 1981). Pilot scale studies have been recently take
up in a number of cities like Calcutta, Alexandria and Cairo beneath the technical guidance and
financial sponsorship in the World Bank. (Cointreau et al., 1982).

25

According to mode of operation you can find two collection systems particularly, hauled
container system and also stationery container system. It's estimated that 60 to 80% in the total
expenditure is borne on collection services. From the developing countries this expenditure is
greater than that of the sophisticated countries. Solid waste services would be the responsibility
of the municipality almost in all countries in the world. However for collection uses various
agencies employed are usually municipal staff private agencies or contractors and non-public
agencies engaged by property owners. (Hagerty et al.,1973)
Connection between 1968 National Survey executed in USA reveal in which 56% of domestic
spend is collected by public collectors, 32% by private businesses and 12% by individual
homeowners. (Hagerty et al.,1973). Recent trends in this advanced countries are aimed to
minimize the employment of labour, follow the mechanically loading techniques and employ this
compacting vehicles. All these efforts any time combined together maximize this metric
tons/hr/worker output along with the system becomes more inexpensive. It is observed that these
countries employ the guide loading of motorized carry equipment. In addition handy carts and
wheel barrows single bullocks carts utilized for collection of sound wastes (Yunus, 1980).
Solid waste is commonly collected from curb side collection points utilizing the wheel barrows.
These collection points are critically the open dumps. (Cointreau et al.,1982). Donkeys are
regularly accustomed to collect refuse in the hilly localities which are not served by smooth
roadways or walkways. (Cointreau et al.,1982). The projects staying sponsored by World Bank
in Egypt, Indonesia, India and Philippines are extensively while using pushcarts as a key mode
of house to accommodate collection within the small income neighbour hoods. The carts have
the portable bins which may be readily unloaded into the portable container of any truck or
tractor based at nearby transfer section.
History has repeated itself and due to rising fuel and operating costs and complex labour
management issues, significance with the transfer stations has just as before increased manifold.
Thochanoglous et al.,1972).
In the advanced countries variety of water and railroad transport systems are depending on
particular requirements as transfer facilities. Recently north america has adopted the reduced
pressure and vacuum conduct transport system to move the solid wastes. Japan industry has also
26

developed certain sorts of transfer stations which typically function mechanically.

(Thochanoglous et al.,1972).
The industrialized places have adopted the control techniques like mechanical quantity reduction,
chemical volume lowering, drying and developing. Similarly incineration, pyrolysis and
indigestion are employed as methods intended for conversion of products and energy recovery.
(Thochanoglous et al.,1972).
Common methods put to use in disposal are incineration; composting and sanitary land filling.
Open dumping is a typical and unhygienic method for disposal with the wastes in almost all of
the developing countries until right now. Sanitary land filling has proved to be the most
economically and acceptable way for disposal of solid waste materials. A number of creating
countries are endeavouring to consider the compost techniques. Pilot scale projects are actually
in progress in metropolitan areas like Alexandria, Calcutta and Cairo. In Cairo about 190 to 300
metric plenty of the wastes go to help Shoubra compost plant. (Flint away, 1976).
Kahhat et al.,(2008) stated that over 1. 36 million metric numerous e-wastes were discarded,
mainly in landfills, in your U. S. in 2005, and e-waste is projected to grow in the next few years.
This paper explores issues pertaining to planning future e-waste legislations and management
systems within the U. S. It begins by reviewing the present U. S. recycling systems within the U.
S. to establish benefit of developing public tendencies. Other countries and regions worldwide
have already legislated and implemented electronic get back and recycling systems. To establish
the context of existing experience, e-waste management systems in Europe, Japan, and South
Korea along with Taiwan are explored. If the firm prefers to refurbish or resell the computer
instead of recycling, the transfers deferred till true end-of-life processing. Finally the paper
examines the domestic and international consequences from the implementation of die suggested
design.
Zhang et ing. (2010) compared that the municipal solid waste operations (MSWM) in Singapore
and also Berlin was carried out to be able to identify its current status, and highlight the relevant
conditions of MSWM. An overview of the various facets of MSWM in these 2 cities is provided,
with increased exposure of comparing the legal, technical, and managerial aspects connected
with MSW. Collection systems and recycling practiced based on the involvement of the
27

government and the private sector are in addition presented. The amounts connected with waste
have declined considerably, and at the very same time the proportion that is certainly recovered
and recycled has increased. In contrast, although Singapores recycling charge has been
increasing over the past few years, rapid economic and population growth and also change in
consumption patterns with this city-state has caused waste generation to carry on to increase.
On the list of studies conducted by the actual Central Bureau of Statistics demonstrates
unmanaged waste disposal was considered the primary cause of environmental problems in
Kathmandu followed by unmanaged sewage (CBS 1996, within CBS 1998 ). Thus solid waste
management is a growing issue in the actual context of urban environmentally friendly
degradation of Kathmandu. The rate of growth of population from the Kathmandu Valley is
greater than 6%, which is the highest among the cities connected with Nepal. Due to the fast
increase in population and increase in the intake of packed goods, the amount as well as the
quantum of non- biodegradable waste is increasing after a while. Among the total waste
generated in Nepal, 80% is generated only from Kathmandu in support of 30% of the total urban
refuse has collected in containers and transferred to the landfill site (Thapa et al.,1999).

Chapter 3
Materials and methods.
3.1 Management plan:
According to (1998, census District population office) total population of selected 3 Ucs of
District Faisalabad is (111,323) and total solid waste collection in these 3 UCs of District
Faisalabad is 40058 kg per day. (Verbal Conversation, FWMC, District Fsd). According to
28

(office of FWMC) Solid wastes are collected from houses and streets manually after it with the
help of hand carts put in t0 the trolleys and throw into the dump site. There are dump site at
Makuana. It is done with the help of hydraulic trolleys. FWMC have trucks and tractor trolleys
which are used for disposal of above described solid ware management and disposable of solid
waste. Due to lack of transportation, approximately 40 % waste cannot be managed.
Solid waste analysis of three UCs of faisalabad showed that there are different types of solid
waste generated in these UCs .Different UCs have different numbers of institutions , offices,
hospitals, clinics, small industries etc. First we discuss about the existing waste management
situation in Faisalabad. This will make the picture clearer for the problem analysis and design
considerations for future proposals. The planning which is to be carried out for the purpose of
suggesting some revision to the system should be possible by analyzing the present waste
management situation in the case study area and evaluate the problems arise due to short
comings of the waste management system. Good municipal solid waste management practices
should require collection of critical information which is not just for keeping the records up to
date but used effectively for taking corrective measures as well as proper planning for the future
.The information of the existing situation should be available from different Sources.
The information about the working pattern is available from the interview with a FWMC
(Faisalabad Waste Management Company) employee, the municipal Solid waste is managed by
FWMC.
The selected 3 UCs consist of human population and there are numbers of institutions, hospitals,
banks and other offices so loaded trucks of waste should avoid in working timings. Because due
to this, there will be chances of health hazardous and other dieses.

There are general guidelines for municipal waste management which are set by the government
authorities. But also there are some modifications made as per the local requirements, resources
and area restrictions.
The waste collection vehicle should starts at 5.30 am for its waste collection trip. The waste
should collected manually by the labours. They collect waste from and around the bin in the
vessel and lift it manually and throw the garbage in the truck. The waste should collect in the
29

hand cart and brought to the truck which should waiting on the road and is transferred into the
truck. It should be the target to cover maximum number of bins from the allotted area. Those
bins which are left without collection of waste should covered in the second trip or on the next
day. As all categories of waste should put in same bin; the collection should also done without
any segregation.

3.2 Site selection.

It is the most important step of the research. In this way four UC of the Faisalabad will be
selected for the research purpose. For research purpose, site was selected on following
criteria.
1. Improper waste management.
2. The people of the study area were knowledgeable.
3. The site was access able.
4. The people of concerned area were supportive.

3.3 Sampling plan

The houses were selected of the union council(209,215,211) on basis of low, medium and
high income area and one commercial area(akber chowk market)
Waste collection bags were distributed in all union councils and also in commercial area.
capacity of each bag was 5 kg. Thirty houses were selected in each union council and ten
shops were selected for commercial area .Three bags were distributed in each house and
shop for.

3.4 sample collection.

Sample collected from each house and shop after three days. Waste collection was done with
collaboration of Faisalabad waste management company. Company provided worker for
the collection of waste sample. Workers collected waste sample from each house and put the
collected sample into the waste collection vehicle.

3.5 Transportation.
30

Collected waste sample were transfer to the transfer station through waste collection vehicle.
Transfer station near treat bakers at canal road Faisalabad were selected for separation of waste
contents. At transfer station company workers segregate the waste sample.

3.6 Weighing method.

Weighing balance was used for weighs the all collected waste sample. Every waste sample put
on the weighing balance and notes the reading. Weighing electric balance shows reading on the
screen. In this way all collected waste sample were weighs.

3.7 Manual segregation.

After transportation, next step segregated the collected waste sample. Separate the waste sample
into organic and inorganic contents.

3.8 Collection Point Survey.

35

Both designated and informal collection points will be identified in key residential and
commercial areas for baseline survey.

3.9 Dumpsite / Landfill site Survey

Primary surveys will also carried be out at dumping sites for a fair idea of the different types of
waste being generated in city and the composition of the waste. It will also allow comparison
between the waste compositions at collection and disposal sites.

3.10 Physical and chemical segregation and characterization of waste

Waste collected from three union council (uc.209,211 &215) and one commercial area(akber
chowk market) will be segregated physically and chemically and will be characterized (Al.
Khatib et al.,2010).The polythene bags of 5 Kg waste carrying capacity will be used for the
collection of daily generated waste. These bags will be brought to the laboratory and weighed for
the quantity. From the household collected solid waste 1 Kg of thoroughly mixed waste samples
will be selected for study. The components such as remains of vegetables and food waste, paper,
plastic, glass/ceramics, metal, fine earth and ash and miscellaneous will be segregated manually
by handpicking. The each component will be weighed by using weighing balance and the percent
weight of each portion of the waste will be calculated.
To study the physico-chemical characteristics of solid waste, the samples will be collected and
analyzed inlaboratory to study the characteristics viz. moisture content, pH, Organic matter and
Carbon etc. The methods will be used as described by APHA, 1998; Trivedy and Goel, 1986;
Maiti, 2004, Kaul and Gautam, 2002 and CPHERI, 1974).

Results and Discussion.

According to Faisalabad waste management company (FWMC) solid waste collected from
houses, streets and also from commercial area. Workers collected the waste and put into the
waste vehicles.
Then waste was transported to the transfer station. At transfer station segregates the collected
waste in two components biodegradable and non-biodegradable.
Three union councils (209,215,211) and one commercial area (akber chowk market) were
selected for research study. Each union council was divided in three sections on the basis of low,
medium and high income area .Thirty houses were selected in each union council and ten houses
in each section and each section were thirty samples of waste. Akbar chowk market was selected
for study of commercial area. For commercial area ten shops were selected.
Biodegradable waste bags were provided by Faisalabad waste management company for the
collection of waste from the union councils and commercial area. Three biodegradable bags were
provided to each house and shop.
Three days after the distribution of bags, waste collected from all union councils and commercial
area. Waste vehicle and worker was provided by the FWMC. Workers collected the waste
samples from all union councils and commercial area and put into the waste collected vehicles.
After the collection, waste transport to the transfer station where segregates the collected waste
and weighs.
After the segregation and weighing, the results were made in form of table are given below.

SUMMARY
Waste management is a global environment issue which concern about a very significant
problem in todays world. There is a considerable amount of disposal of waste without proper
segregation which has lead to both economic and environmental suffering. It is still practiced in
many cities. There tremendous amount of loss in terms of environmental degradation, health
hazards and economic descend due to direct disposal of waste. It is better to segregate the waste
at initial stages where it is generated, rather than going for a later option which is inconvenient
and expensive. There has to be appropriate planning for the proper waste management by means
of analysis of the waste situation of the area.
Improper of the solid waste results in unsightly conditions; creates health hazards, gives rise to
the atmospheric pollution, contamination of water resources and depletion of natural resources.
Rats, flies and other disease vectors breed in open dump. It has been established that 22 human
diseases can be related to improper solid waste management. Data are also available to show that
infection rate of the worker engaged in the collection and disposal of solid wastes is several
times higher than that for the industrial employees.
The ever increasing rate of environmental pollution in the sprawling urban centres demands that
the wastes generated in residents, commercial centres and industries should be carefully and
adequately treated before being release to the solid, liquid and gaseous phases of the
environment, lest the assimilation capacity of the nature is exceeded and ecological imbalance
impose on the biosphere.
The majority of solid waste is collected in bins ranging in size from household trash cans to
industrial dumpsters which are filled by individuals or companies. Solid waste collection trucks
roam the streets on regular schedules to collect these bins. Garbage is also collected by street
sweeping agencies, volunteer cleanup organizations, and through consumers who bring their
waste directly to the solid waste management company. Once solid waste is collected, it is routed
to a recycling facility, garbage facility that can handle toxic waste, composting centre, or disposed
of. Many solid waste management companies maintain large dumps for this purpose, while

91

others incinerate their garbage, using the energy generated by the incinerator to run a recycling
plant or feed power back into the electrical grid.

Solid waste management has been defined as multi-disciplinary activity which deals with the
control of generation, on -site storage , collection , transfer and transport , processing and
recovery as well as final disposal of the solid wastes in a manner which is in accord with the best
principles of public health , economic , engineering , conservation , aesthetics and other
environmental considerations and is also responsive to public attitudes. This method was applied
on Faisalabad (case study area). The analyzed data and result suggested various modifications in
the existing system which has reduced the waste management work load to a great extent. There
are many issues that can be considered for future studies. The important issue it to first takes
those ones which can be practically possible to important in the area with the consideration for
the system constrains. Here some futures study suggestions which can be adopted as a next step to
the proposed model for the study area.

Study the quantity of waste generation in different areas for planning waste management

in a more precise manner.

Door to door waste collection
Improve collection and transportation facilities
Improve disposal facilities
Incinerate the hazardous waste.
More facilities should be given to FWMC.
