TKA 4201 SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT Eng. Science Dept, Faculty Science & Technology
Activities associated with
managing solid wastes until
they are placed in the
containers used for their
storage before collection or
return to recycling centers.
Depending on:
The types of waste materials
that are separated for reuse and
recycling.
The type of collection service.

1. Residential area:
The solid waste remaining
after the recyclable material
have been separated and
placed in a special container
or plastic bag.
The residents are responsible
for placing the solid waste
around their dwellings/house
in storage container.

1. Residential area:
No standardization of the size of
storage containers.
The homeowner are responsible
for placing the storage container
at curb for collection.
The recyclable material collected
stored within their home and
periodically transfer to the
recycling centre.

2. High-rise apartments:
Pick up by building
maintenance personnel
and taken to the
basement service area .
Taken to the basement
service area by tenants.
Bagged and placed by the
tenants by specially
designed chutes with
openings located at each
floor.
Collected in large containers
mounted on rollers.
Once filled, this container are
removed by elevator and
emptied into:
1. Large storage containers.
2. Compactors used in
conjunction with the storage
container.
3. Stationary compactors that can
compress the material into
bales or into specially designed
containers.
4. Others (i.e., incinerator).
Depends on the:
1. Characteristics of the solid wastes to be collected;
2. The collection frequency;
3. The space available for the placement of containers.
Must be standardized to suit collection equipment.

In front or rear of house
Alleys
Special enclosures
(apartment/condos)

Relates to on-time collection to avoid the spread of
diseases by vectors, etc.
Must be pleasing to the eye (containers must be clean,

shielded from public’s view).

To recover usable materials from solid wastes.
To alter the physical form.
To reduce the volume.

5.3.1 Grinding of food waste
In the past 20 years, the use of kitchen
food waste grinders has gained such wide
acceptance.
Used primarily for wastes from the
preparation, cooking and serving of foods.
Functionally, grinders render the material
transport through sewer system.
This situation has resulted in overloading many treatment

facilities.
Many countries has forbid this types of processing techniques.
5.3.2 Separation of waste
As noted earlier, the separation of solid waste
components at the source of generation is one of then
most cost effective ways to achieve the recovery and
reuse of materials.
5.3.3 Compaction
 Can be divided into 2 types:
1. Small home and apartment compaction units
2. Large compactors used to compact wastes from a large
number a apartments.

5.3.4 Composting
Recycling organic materials.
Effective way of reducing the volume and altering the physical composition
of solid waste while at the same time producing a useful by product.
A variety of methods are used, depending on the amount of space available
and the wastes to be composted.
What you can composed?
 Grass Cuttings
 Hedge Cuttings
 Vegetable Peelings
 Tea Bags
• Coffee Grounds
• Ripped Cardboard & Paper
• Fruit Cuttings

5.3.4 Composting
What you cannot composed
Meat, Fish or Cheese
Coal ash
Cooked Left Overs
Metals, Glass or Plastic
Nappies

5.3.4 Composting
How to Compost
1. Locate your composter on
bare soil. Somewhere in your
garden that is easily
accessible all year round.
2. You should mix your Green
and Brown materials evenly
when composting.
Greens are soft, wet materials like grass cuttings, vegetables
and fruit scraps. Browns are harder, dryer materials like
hedge trimmings and strips of cardboard.
5.3.4 Composting
How to Compost
3. When composting you should put a lot of materials
in all at once. Chop large items into smaller pieces to
help with the process. Try to ensure that your
compost is moist but not wet – when squeezed in
your hand, a few drops of water should be produced.
Add water if it is too dry; cover and add dry material
if too wet.

5.3.4 Composting
How to Compost
4.If you wish, add compost accelerator
to help speed up the composting
process.
5.Keep adding materials, remembering
to agitate the contents every couple
of weeks throughout spring and
summer to keep air flowing through.

5.3.4 Composting
How to Compost
6. Your compost is ready when
it is dark in colour and smells
like earth. This can take
from 6 to 18 months
depending on the materials
used and the time of the
year.

Commercial and industrial facilities
5.3.5 Compaction
Baling of waste cardboard.
Reprocessed for the production of packing
materials.

5.3.6 Shredding and Hydropulping
Shredding – destroy sensitive documents that are
no longer of value.

5.3.6 Shredding and Hydropulping
Hydro pulping - is the process that paper mills use to
reclaim the fiber from scrap-recovered paper.
Expensive and involve discharge to the local
wastewater collection system.
