The rise in environmental consciousness in recent decades has included a focus on household waste. It is not the most urgent of the problems we face, but it may be the most immediately accessible. Global climate change, the destruction of the rain forests, and disasters such as Chernobyl and Bhopal are far away and hard for an individual to influence; but garbage disposal happens again and agai...

Advances in garbage incineration technology have made it possible to turn waste into energy. However, launching such a plant will require huge amount of investment, and the cost of operation is expensive. So it is not easy for municipal governments to adopt such technology in widespread due to shortage of fund. Private capital can be a source of fund, but return should be ensured. In this paper...

identifying municipal solid waste (msw) disposal sites and appropriately managing them is a challenging task to many developing countries like bangladesh. it is a complex issue in an urban area, as increasing population levels, rapid economic growth and rise in community living standard, accelerates the generation rate of msw. the study area is zone-2 (mirpur-pallabi) of dhaka north city corpor...

Now a days, there are a number of techniques which are purposefully used and are being build up for well management of garbage or solid waste . Zigbee and Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM) are the latest trends and are one of the best combination to be used in the project. Hence,a combination of both of these technologies is used in the project . To give a brief description of the pr...

Recycling implies additional costs for separated municipal solid waste (MSW) collection. The aim of the present study is to propose and implement a management tool - the full cost accounting (FCA) method - to calculate the full collection costs of different types of waste. Our analysis aims for a better understanding of the difficulties of putting FCA into practice in the MSW sector. We propose...

The environmental and social challenges of Solid Waste Management in developing countries have become an increasingly pressing issue. Disparities between the rich and poor continues to increase in many of these regions where growing urban areas often witness the worst signs of maltreatment of human labour and misallocation of waste as a resource. This thesis is a case study of the Municipality ...

BACKGROUND Medical establishment such as hospitals and research institutes generate sizable amount of hazardous waste. Health care workers, patients are at risk of acquiring infection from sharps and contamination of environment with multiple drug resistant microorganisms if wastes are not properly managed. OBJECTIVES To characterize types and evaluate waste disposal techniques employed in th...
