Studying municipal solid waste generation and composition in the urban areas of Bhutan.
Bhutan lacks the solid waste data which are essential parameters for planning and scheduling of municipal solid waste management (MSWM) systems. The first ever large-scale research survey on solid waste generation and characterization in the urban areas of Bhutan was conducted between November 2007 and January 2008 using the method of waste sampling at source. The MSW generation rates in the ur...
متن کاملPerformance assessment for municipal solid waste collection in Taiwan.
Collecting municipal solid waste (MSW) is a major and expensive task for local waste management authorities, thus efficient MSW collection is a necessity. This study presents a procedure for developing an aggregate indicator (AI) to assess MSW collection efficiency based on multiple factors. The applicabilities of various key performance indicators (KPIs) are evaluated based on five selection c...
متن کاملEnergy potential from the anaerobic digestion of food waste in municipal solid waste stream of urban areas in Vietnam
Anaerobic digestion (AD) was introduced in Vietnam more than 10 years ago, but at a small scale to deal with agricultural wastes, manure, etc. Despite its many advantages, AD does not yet make a significant contribution to resolving Vietnams urban waste issues due to a lack of information, data and experience.

متن کاملSubregion districting analysis for municipal solid waste collection privatization.
Privatization of municipal solid waste (MSW) collection can improve service quality and reduce cost. To reduce the risk of an incapable company serving an entire collection area and to establish a competitive market, a large collection area should be divided into two or more subregions, with each subregion served by a different company. The MSW subregion districting is generally done manually, ...
متن کاملA Heuristic Model for Municipal Solid Waste Collection Vehicle Routing
Appropriate vehicle routing is critical for collecting municipal solid waste (MSW) efficiently. Conventional empirical routing is not easily altered in response to rapidly changing waste management plans and generation. An enhanced model is proposed herein to solve a MSW collection routing problem involving a homogenous fleet. A minimum cost flow method is applied to pre-process the original co...
