Types of Municipal Solid Waste
- Organic Waste: Biodegradable materials like food scraps and yard waste.
- Recyclables: Plastics, glass, paper, and metals.
- Hazardous Waste: Dangerous materials such as batteries and chemicals.
- E-Waste: Discarded electronics like computers and phones.
- Inert Waste: Non-biodegradable materials like construction debris.
Importance of MSW Management
Effective MSW management is essential for:
- Environmental Protection: Reducing pollution and methane emissions.
- Public Health: Minimizing health risks from hazardous waste.
- Economic Growth: Creating jobs and reducing waste disposal costs.
Key Components of MSW Management
Waste Collection & Transportation
Efficient waste collection and transport to disposal sites.
Waste Sorting & Segregation
Sorting waste into categories like recyclables and organic waste for better processing.
Recycling
Reusing materials like plastics and metals.
Composting
Turning organic waste into compost for agriculture.
Energy Recovery
Converting non-recyclable waste into energy.
Landfilling
As a last resort, secure disposal of waste with minimal environmental impact.
