| Summary: | Solid material thrown away as unused from various sectors such as agricultural, commercial, domestic, industrial, and institutional constitutes solid wastes. This places an enormous strain on natural resources and seriously undermines efficient and sustainable development. Management of Municipal Solid Waste discusses the ways to salvage the situation through efficient management of solid wastes--from waste generation to disposal. The various processes, such as waste generation, collection, storage, processing, recovery, transport, and disposal, are explained with the help of case studies. The book discusses reduction of waste at the source and endeavours to foster implementation of integrated solid waste management systems that are cost-effective and protect human health and the environment. |
