Rovie Galagar Saz Chapter 1 THE PROBLEM AND ITS SETTING Introduction Solid Waste Management‚ the collecting‚ treating‚ and disposing of solid material that is discarded because it has served its purpose or is no longer useful. Improper disposal of municipal solid waste can create unsanitary conditions‚ and these conditions in turn can lead to pollution of the environment and to outbreaks of vector-borne disease—that is‚ diseases spread by rodents and insects. The tasks of solid-waste management

Landfill is a main way of waste management in Hong Kong‚ but it may not be a sustainable way to solve or relieve the garbage problem. Moreover‚ landfill also will eventually saturate. It’s an urgent problem to stakeholders. In fact‚ an annual average of more than one million tons of wastes are produced in Hong Kong. Landfill is not the only way the government can plan for waste disposal. Building an incinerator to relieve the refuse pressure is also viable. In fact‚ a lot of waste is dumped without

“dumpster diving”. This technique involves rummaging through the garbage of retailers‚ residences‚ offices‚ and other facilities for useful goods. Society’s stereotypes about garbage‚ the goods recovered by freegans are safe‚ useable‚ clean‚ and in perfect or near-perfect condition‚ a symptom of a throwaway culture that encourages to constantly replace older goods with newer ones‚ and where retailers plan high-volume product disposal as part of their economic model. 2.

Historical Research on Waste Management Sean Depkin Jones International University Abstract Waste management is a necessary industry and has been traced back to 3000 B.C. It originally started off garbage dumps or landfills and has progressed to recycling facilities and incinerators that produce both heat and energy from the burned waste. It has been influenced by both motorized transportation and the advances in technology. The most influential person in the waste management industry in the

Introduction According to studies of the Davao City Water District‚ 98 percent of the city’s drinking water is sourced from groundwater mainly from Talomo-Lipadas. This 38‚000-hectare watershed has an annual volume of water catch of 760 million cubic meters (MCM) or 2 MCM per day. It is one of the nine watersheds in the city that direly needs protection. In Davao City the main source of water supply is ground water. Hence‚ the city depends largely on the Mt. Talomo-Lipadas watershed. This

But the problems surrounding waste plastic bags starts long before they photo degrade. When we dispose them in a garbage pile‚ the air‚ moisture‚ climate‚ or soil cannot break them down naturally to be dissolved with the surrounding land. Our planet is becoming increasingly contaminated by our unnecessary use of plastic carry bags. Big black bin liners‚ plastic carrier

As seen in table 3‚ due to the dumping of garbage and other effluents disrupted the smoothness of the river. The velocity of the river varied because of this and the natural relief of the positioning of the upper and lower courses. Another observation that was deduced was that the width of the river allowed more garbage to be accumulated‚ decreasing the velocity. The causes responsible for this are the garbage and household disposals. These conclusions were deduced from points 1-7.

ABSTRACT: The term “waste to energy” has traditionally referred to the practice of incineration of garbage. Today‚ a new generation of waste-to-energy technologies is emerging which hold the potential to create renewable energy from waste matter‚ including municipal solid waste‚ industrial waste‚ agricultural waste‚ and waste byproducts. The main categories of waste-to-energy technologies are physical technologies‚ which process waste to make it more useful as fuel; thermal technologies
