To reduce the effect of the enormous waste generated in Ondo State Nigeria and also benefit from its recycling potentials the State Government in 2006 established an integrated solid waste recycling plant managed by the Ondo State Management Board . This study is aimed at the physical and chemical characterization of the solid wastes dumped at the solid waste management facility of the
asserted that solid waste streams could be characterized by their sources type of waste (solid liquid or gaseous states) produced as well as generation rate and composition. He classified wastes into eight namely residential industrial commercial institutional constructional demolition municipal services process and agriculture 7 .
Ahmedabad. Jil Tushar Sheth 1 Kinara Patel 2 Prof. Dipsha Shah 3. Abstract — Due to population upsurge and urbanization solid waste management is now one of the chief issues to deal with as. it
waste management. These challenges are linked to the fact that equipment used for mini-grids and SHS as well as the electrical and electronic devices powered by the new systems will sooner or later become waste. And these waste types (commonly referred to as e-waste and battery waste) have more or less hazardous properties
The Abuja Environmental Protection Board (AEPB) is responsible for solid waste management in Abuja. It has responsibility to • Remove transport and dispose of domestic commercial and industrial waste. • Clear and maintain public drainage facilities street cleaning and clearing of abandoned vehicles. • Register private waste collection companies.
Urban solid waste management in Nigeria is constitutionally the responsibility of the third tiers of government that is the local government (Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999). Financial material and human resources that have been committed to waste management by this tier of government have not matched this responsibility.
1.2 Solid Waste Actors Within the two Governorates of Irbid and Mafraq there are more than 3000 people involved in and employed in the informal sector which deals with solid waste. This informal sector is mainly based on the collection and sorting phases of the solid waste cycle including street collectors and waste pickers at the landfills.
Strategy. The World Bank finances and advises on solid waste management projects using a diverse suite of products and services including traditional loans results-based financing development policy financing and technical advisory.World Bank-financed waste management projects address the entire lifecycle of waste—from generation to collection and transportation and finally treatment
The utilization of solid waste is the challenge for the civil and environmental engineers to utilize the waste from different industry to excel the sustainable development and in the same time it is matching with the cost concern of the present materials. Copper slag is a by-product obtained during smelting and refining of copper. The waste copper slag can be used as abrasive tools road

2. Trends in solid waste management in East African cities. Waste management in urban centres of East Africa has for a long time been centralised (Liyala 2011) with the useof imported refuse truck (Rotich et al. 2006 Okot-Okumu Nyenje 2011) that collect wastes from sources or transfer point and deliver to designated waste dumps.Municipal solid waste management (MSWM) system in East

Waste management is a challenging task as population is increasing and type of waste is changing. Waste management practice needs concern not only for its generation increasing but also for its inadequate practice. Waste generation is affected by socio economic factors demography seasonal factors lack of awareness and weak management practice.
1. Introduction. Printed circuit boards (PCBs) can be found in any piece of electrical or electronic equipment nearly all electronic items including calculators and remote control units contain large circuit boards an increasing number of white goods as washing machines contains circuit boards for example in electronic timers.
Currently the majority of electronic waste is disposed of in a landfill.The remainder is processed in an energy inefficient manner where only small amounts of the available metals are recovered. This is a problem for a number of reasons. This waste contains recoverable trace amounts of precious metals and larger quantities of a variety of other metals and alloys especially copper
Municipal solid waste (MSW) reflects the culture that produces it and affects the health of the people and the environment surrounding it. Globally people are discarding growing quantities of waste and its composition is more complex than ever before as plastic and electronic consumer products diffuse. Concurrently the world is urbanizing at an unprecedented rate. These trends pose a
Solid waste management Solid waste refers here to all non-liquid wastes. In general this does not include excreta although sometimes nappies and the faeces of young children may be mixed with solid waste. Solid waste can create significant health problems and a very unpleasant living environment if not disposed of safely and appropriately.
ago the composition of solid waste generated by the Indian farmer was characterised by one-fifth non-biodegradable waste and four-fifths biodegradable waste. At present this ratio is about to reverse today a mere 40 percent is biodegradable while 60 percent is non-biodegradable. At the same time many s do not recycle their waste but
During the healthcare delivery process hazardous wastes can be generated from the health facilities. Improper healthcare waste management is responsible for the transmission of more than 30 dangerous bloodborne pathogens. The aim of this systematic review was to evaluate the healthcare waste management practice and potential challenges in Ethiopia.
The average composition of solid wastes are organic waste 56 plastics 16 paper and paper products 16 glass 3 metals 2 textiles 2 rubber and leather 1 and others 4 .( ADB 2013). The Government of Nepal has also enacted the Solid Waste Management Act
Meanwhile report by Beede and Bloom estimated the total solid waste will be increased to 27 billion tonnes in 2050. Murari et al. 8 opined that the increase was as a results of enhanced technological innovations and industrialization in the various sectors thus contributing to an increment both in the volume and variety of generated wastes from domestic industrial agricultural and mining
CBOs are much more well established in Dar es Salaam and Nairobi compared to Kampala where they focus mainly on the urban poor solid waste management (Tukahirwa 2011).There is also the informal waste collection by waste picker (also known as scavengers ) who salvage from public bins disposal sites and along streets itinerant waste buyers who buy or exchange (barter) items from
For sustainable management of solid waste effective planning and development strategies about the quantity and categories of such wastes are of great importance. Thus the most important processes are quantification and characterization of all the sustainable solid waste management systems according to Senzige et al. . At a particular place studying the composition and the categories of solid waste
The vast increase in quantity and types of solid and poisonous waste due to economic growth population growth and industrial pollution specifically in Nigeria is becoming a problem.

Scavengers play a major role in the waste management process in developing countries. This study analyzed the informal recycling activities carried out by scavenger in the Tafila region of Jordan. The results show that scavengers have an important role in the informal solid waste management (SWM) especially in term of waste reduction minimization and material recovery.
Modern solid-waste management plants in most developed countries now emphasize the practice of recycling and waste reduction at the source rather than incineration and land disposal. Solid-waste characteristics Composition and properties. The sources of solid waste include residential commercial institutional and industrial activities.
Trends in Solid Waste Management. The world generates 2.01 billion tonnes of municipal solid waste annually with at least 33 percent of that—extremely conservatively—not managed in an environmentally safe manner. Worldwide waste generated per person per day averages 0.74 kilogram but ranges widely from 0.11 to 4.54 kilograms.
During the healthcare delivery process hazardous wastes can be generated from the health facilities. Improper healthcare waste management is responsible for the transmission of more than 30 dangerous bloodborne pathogens. The aim of this systematic review was to evaluate the healthcare waste management practice and potential challenges in Ethiopia.
This study was undertaken to characterize and determine the recycling potential of municipal solid waste brought to a centralized facility in Akure Nigeria. The facility serves a population of over 350 000 people. For a year waste brought to the municipal solid waste facility from three sources namely market residential and curbsides were characterized and quantified monthly.
