Technical Criteria for Solid Waste Management

Solid waste management is a major problem for many local governments and urban agencies. There has been an increase in the volume of waste generated by urban residents as well as changes in the types and methods of waste disposal. This paper presents technical criteria for solid waste disposal facilities, focusing on criteria for municipal solid waste landfills and bioreactor landfills. An effective solid waste management framework requires considering social, economic, technological, political, and administrative factors together to ensure long-term solutions to urban waste problems.

Abstract

Most local governments and urban agencies have identified solid waste as a major
problem that has reached proportions requiring drastic measures. We can observe three
key trends with respect to solid waste they are increase in shear volume of waste
generated by urban residents, change in the quality or make-up of waste generated and
the disposal method of waste collected, by land-fill, incineration etc. It is critical to adopt
a broad approach in developing a working framework for solid waste management
(SWM). This covers the social, economic, technology, political and administrative
dimensions. In view of this, this paper presents technical criteria for solid waste disposal
facilities, particularly criteria for municipal solid waste landfills and bioreactor landfills.
All these issues have to be brought together on a common platform in order to ensure a
long-term solution to urban waste.

Key words : Solid waste management, Landfills, Bioreactors, Social, Political
