1. Definition
Solid Waste Management is the systematic control ofgeneration.
storage, transport, processing, and disposal of solid waste in a manner that
3 protects human health and the environment.
+ Solid waste refers to any discarded solid materials from households, industries,
commercial areas, mstitijtions, and agriculture that are no longer useful (e.g., food
scraps, paper, plastics, glass, metals, textiles).
* Municipal Solid Waste (MSW): Commonly known as trash or garbage, primarily
from households and similar sources.Characteristics
* Soli hemical, and biological properties that influence management:
Se I oe
* Physical: Density (typically 100-400 kg/m? uncompacted to compacted), moisture content
(high in organics, affecting weight and decomposition), particle size (important for
sorting/shredding).
* Chemical: Organic (biodegradable, c.g., carbohydrates, proteins) vs. inorganic (non-
biodegradable, e.g., metals, glass); energy content (calorific value for incineration);
potential for leachate (polluting liquids) or gas production.
* Biological: Biodegradable portions decompose naturally, producing methane (in landfills)
or compost; non-biodegradable persist, contributing to long-term pollution.2 ources of Solid Waste
Residential waste — household garbage
Commercial waste — shops, offices, hotels
Industrial waste — factories and industries
Institutional waste — schools, hospitals
Municipal waste — street sweepings, parks
Agricultural waste — crop residues, manure
3. Types of Solid Waste
Biodegradable waste — food waste, paper, leaves
Non-biodegradable waste — plastics, metals, glass
Hazardous waste — chemicals, batteries, paints
Biomedical waste — hospital waste
E-waste — electronic items like mobiles, computersWaste collection
+ Waste transportation
Waste processing and treatment
* Waste disposal
5. Waste Segregation
* Green bin — wet/biodegradable waste
* Blue bin — dry/recyclable waste
+ Red bin — hazardous waste
* Segregation at source is the key step in effective SWM.. Methods of Solid Waste Treatment
+ Composting biological decomposition off
* Vermicomposting — composting using(earthworms
+ Recycling — reprocessing waste into useful products
+ Incineration — burning waste at high temperature
* Pyrolysis — thermal decomposition without oxygen
+ Sanitary landfill — scientific dumping of waste
7. Disposal Methods
* Open dumping (not recommended)
+ Sanitary landfill (safe and controlled)
* Incineration (for hazardous waste)8. 3R Principle
—* Reduce — minimize waste generation
_2Reuse
«Recycle — convert waste into new products

* Harm to animals and humansment Rules (India — 2016)
Mandatory segregation at source
* Door-to-door collection
* Ban on open dumping and burning
+ Responsibility of local bodies and citizens

* Clean and healthy environment
* Resource conservation
* Reduction in pollution
