Functional Element Description
Waste Generation Those activities in which materials are identified as no longer being of value and are either thrown
away or gathered together for disposal
On-site handling, Those activities associated with the handling, storage, and processing of solid wastes at or near the
storage, and processing point of generation
Collection Those activities associated with the gathering of solid wastes and the hauling of wastes after
collection to the location where the collection vehicle is emptied.
Transfer & Transport Those activities associated with (1) the transfer of wastes from the smaller collection vehicle to the
larger transport equipment and (2) the subsequent transport of the wastes, usually over long
distance to the disposal site.
Processing and Those techniques equipment and facilities used both to improve the efficiency of the other
Recovery functional elements and to recover usable materials, conversion products, or energy from solid
wastes.
Disposal Those activities associated with ultimate disposal of solid wastes including those wastes collected
and transported directly to a landfill site, semisolid wastes (sludge) from wastewater treatment
plants, incinerator residue, or other substances from the solid waste processing plants that are of no

• In addition to knowing the source and composition of solid waste, it is equally
important to have uniform units of expression. For example, universally accepted
units for:
❖ Household waste (kg/capita/day)
❖ Commercial waste (kg/x/day where x can be m2 of floor area of commercial establishment, unit
volume or dollar in sales, the number of employees, etc.)
❖ Institutional waste (kg/x/day where x can be the number of students, m2 of the area of park or
public place, number of visitors, etc.)
❖ Market waste (kg/x/day where x can be the number of market lots, m2 of floor area, dollar in
sales, etc.)
❖ Industrial waste (kg/x/day where x can be unit volume or dollar of production output, m2 of
floor area, the number of employees, etc.)
❖ Street sweeping waste (kg/km/day)
❖ Drain cleaning waste (kg/km/day)
❖ Total waste (kg/capita/day)

• Waste quantities are usually estimated on the basis of data gathered by
➢ Conducting a waste characterization study, or
➢ Using previous waste generation data or
➢ A combination of the two approaches.
• Methods commonly used to assess solid waste quantities in field experiment are
1. Load-count analysis,
2. Weight-volume analysis, and
3. Materials-balance analysis.
Mr. Solomon Tibebu (Environmental Engineering) 10

1. load-count analysis
• The number of individual loads (trucks) and the corresponding waste
locations (i.e. residential, commercial, market, institutional, street sweeping,
drain cleaning etc.) are noted over a specified time period at disposal site.
2. Weight-volume analysis
• Detailed weight- volume data obtained by weighing and measuring each load.
3. Materials-balance analysis
• The only way to determine the generation and movement of solid wastes with
any degree of reliability is to perform a detailed materials balance analysis for
each generation source, such as an individual home or a commercial or
industrial activity.

Stage for Materials-balance analysis.
❖First, draw a system boundary around the unit to be studied.
❖Second, identify all the activities that cross or occur within the boundary and affect
the generation of wastes.
❖Third, identify the rate of waste generation associated with each of these activities.
❖Fourth, using appropriate mathematical relationships, determine the distribution and
quantity of waste

• Solid waste generation rates estimate the amount of waste created by
residences or businesses over a specified period (e.g., day, year).
• Waste generation includes all discarded materials, whether they are later
recycled, composted, or disposed of in a landfill.
• Waste generation rates are essential for estimating the impact of new
developments on local waste streams and can be used to forecast waste
management needs.
• These rates provide valuable information for urban planning, waste
management strategies, and determining infrastructure needs.
• The quantities of waste can vary based on factors such as:
➢Daily, Weekly, and Monthly Variations
➢Seasonal Changes (e.g., holidays, festivals)

• Climate Influence: Different climates impact both the amount and timing of
solid waste generated, with variations across regions.
➢In warmer southern areas, the growing season is longer, leading to:
❖Greater amounts of yard waste.
❖Longer collection periods for garden waste.
• Seasonal Variations: The quantity of certain wastes, such as yard waste, food
waste, and garden waste, varies based on the seasonal growing periods for
fruits and vegetables.
➢ Increased food waste is often linked to the harvest season for fresh produce, affecting
waste streams during peak agricultural periods.

Field capacity
• The field capacity of solid waste is the total amount of moisture that can be
retained in a waste sample subject to the downward pull of gravity.
• The field capacity of waste materials is or critical importance in determining the
formation of leachate.
• The field capacity varies with the degree of applied pressure and the state of
decomposition of the waste.
• Field capacity of a solid waste refers to the maximum amount of water that a
waste material can hold without any further drainage. This is an important factor
to consider when managing and disposing of solid waste, as it can impact the
leachate generation and potential for groundwater contamination.
• The 100 % field capacity is the point that solid waste capacity to hold maximum
water.
• Field capacity of the solid waste tell us about the capacity of the waste to hold
moisture.

Moisture content
✓ The moisture content of solid wastes usually is
expressed in one of two ways.
✓ In the wet-weight method of measurement, the
moisture in a sample is expressed as a
percentage of the wet weight of the material.
✓ In the dry-weight method, it is expressed as a
percentage of the dry weight of the material.
✓The wet-weight method is used most commonly
in the field of solid waste management.

Ultimate analysis
• The ultimate analysis of a waste component typically involves the
determination of the percent carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, and
ash.
• Because of the concern over the emission of chlorinated compounds during
combustion, the determination of halogens is often included in an ultimate
analysis.
• The results of the ultimate analysis are used to characterize the chemical
composition of the organic matter in MSW.
• They are also used to define the proper mix of waste materials to achieve
suitable C/N ratios for biological conversation processes.

(1). By using a full scale boiler
(2). By using a laboratory bomb calorimeter (mostly known)
(3). By using calculation, if the elemental composition is known.
• Due to the difficulty in instrumenting a full-scale boiler, most of the data on
the energy content of the organic components of MSW are based on the
results of bomb calorimeter tests.

Biological characteristics of MSW
• Biodegradability: Organic waste (e.g., food scraps, paper, yard waste) is
biodegradable, meaning it can be broken down by microorganisms like bacteria and
fungi.
• Decomposition Process: Waste decomposes through two main processes:
❖Aerobic decomposition: Occurs with oxygen (produces carbon dioxide, water, and heat).
❖Anaerobic decomposition: Occurs without oxygen (produces methane, which is a greenhouse
gas).
• Microbial Activity: Bacteria, fungi, and other microbes play a central role in breaking
down organic matter.
• Odor Production: Anaerobic decomposition in landfills produces methane,
hydrogen sulfide, and ammonia, which can create unpleasant odors.

Homework 4
1. Explain the four main components analyzed in the proximate analysis of solid waste. How does
the relative composition of each component (moisture, volatile solids, fixed carbon, and ash)
influence the design and operation of a waste-to-energy facility?
2. A solid waste sample has the following proximate analysis results:
✓Moisture: 25%
✓Volatile Solids: 40%
✓Fixed Carbon: 20%
✓Ash: 15%
Using these results, explain how the high moisture content of this sample would affect its
incineration process. What potential challenges could arise, and how might the waste-to-energy
facility address them? Relate waste to energy conversion technologies with solid waste engineering.

• Integrated Solid Waste Management (ISWM) combines various strategies (reduce, reuse,
recycle) to effectively manage waste, ensuring sustainability and minimal environmental
impact.
• Economics & Solid Waste highlight the financial implications of waste management,
focusing on costs, resource recovery, and the economic benefits of recycling and waste
reduction.
• Need for ISWM is crucial to tackle rising urbanization and waste generation, reduce landfill
use, conserve resources, and minimize environmental pollution.
• Source & Type of Solid Waste includes municipal solid waste (MSW), industrial waste,
hazardous waste, and organic waste, each requiring distinct management strategies.
• Solid Waste Characteristics affect how waste is handled: physical (size, density), chemical
(composition, toxicity), and biological (degradability, presence of microorganisms)
properties dictate treatment methods.
• Effective ISWM involves understanding these characteristics to design appropriate
technologies and policies, promoting a circular economy while protecting public health and
the environment.
