Abstract:

Municipal solid waste (MSW) management is a critical concern in rapidly urbanizing areas, particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa and Nigeria, where population growth, rapid urbanization, and poverty worsen waste generation challenges. This thesis focuses on Abuja, a fast-growing city facing escalating MSW issues. With a projected population increase to 6.1 million by 2035, there is a pressing need to assess the capacities of existing waste dumpsites. A previous study revealed a current MSW generation rate of 973,557 tonnes in 2023, Abuja faces environmental and health threats if not managed effect

<strong>Abstract </strong>This paper presents the characterization of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) for planning Municipal Waste Management Scheme (MWMS) in Uyo Metropolis.  Waste characterization is an important component in any waste management scheme.  The MSW samples were collected and characterized using spot sampling method. The Uyo waste dumpsite was divided into four blocks namely North, South, East and West for the purpose of sample collection. Thirty kilograms (30 kg) of raw MSW were manually and randomly collected at each of the four spots and bulked to form a composite samp

Abstract:

In many countries, open dumping is considered the simplest, cheapest, and most cost-effective way of managing solid wastes. Thus, in underdeveloped economies, Municipal Solid Wastes (MSW) are openly dumped. Improper waste disposal causes air, water, and soil pollution, impairing soil permeability and blockage of the drainage system. Solid Waste Management (SWM) can be enhanced by operating a well-engineered site with the capacity to reduce, reuse, and recover MSW. Makkah city is one of the holiest cities in the world.

Abstract:

In many developing countries, open dumping remains the primary method for disposing of municipal solid waste (MSW). However, this practice causes significant environmental problems. Leachate from these dumpsites pollutes surface water, while heavy metals from the waste contaminate groundwater over time. Additionally, the release of gases such as CO₂, CH₄, and other toxic emissions contributes to air pollution and exacerbates climate change. These dumpsites not only harm the environment but also become unsightly, emphasizing the urgent need for sustainable and eco-friendly waste disposal method

Everyone on earth faces a serious threat from municipal solid waste (MSW), but it is especially hazardous in developing countries like India where urbanization and industrial expansion are rising swiftly. Urbanization is expanding quickly and the population is gradually increasing in Almora city located in Uttarakhand. The city provides sites for a range of administrative, educational, economic, tourism, health, and recreational pursuits. In the study area, solid waste collection and management services are mostly provided by municipal organizations. Despite being a crucial service, it does no

Understanding waste flows within an urban area is important for identifying the main problems and improvement opportunities for efficient waste management. Assessment tools such as material flow analysis (MFA), an extensively applied method in waste management studies, provide a structured and objective evaluating process to characterize the waste management system best, to identify its shortcomings and to propose suitable strategies.

Abstract:

The enormous quantities of municipal solid waste (MSW) generation in Indian cities has emerged as a serious concern. In order to reduce the negative environmental impacts of MSW accumulation in dumpsites or unsecured landfills across India, various measures have been proposed to facilitate conversion of MSW into a valuable resource. One such measure is the immense potential for utilization of MSW as a source of energy. In this study, a comprehensive estimation of the energy potential of freshly dumped MSW has been conducted at a large unsecured landfill site in Okhla, Delhi, which is the capit

Abstract: The management of municipal solid waste (MSW) is one of the key environmental issues facing Indian cities, mostly as a result of the country's growing industrialisation and urbanisation. According to numerous studies, open dumps and landfills are used to dispose of around 90% of solid waste in an improper manner. Pollutants can escape a poorly constructed landfill in a number of ways. Leachate can escape from a landfill or dumpsite and contaminate groundwater and surface water if the soil above or below it is porous. Therefore, In this paper an attempt is made to characterize the lea

Abstract:

Urban India produced around 62 MT of municipal solid waste (MSW) (450 gcapita-1day-1) in 2015. Approximately 82% of the generated MSW was collected and only 28% of the collected waste was treated and the remaining 72% was openly dumped. Open dumping is the popular MSW disposal practice in India due to budget constraints and lack of technological advancement. Open dumpsites are considered a potential threat to environment and human health since they contaminate land and water resources during migration of leachate and create air pollution in terms of release of landfill gases (LFGs) with high p

Leachate carries many harmful pollutants, with high concentrations of BOD, COD, colour, heavy metals, ammoniacal nitrogen (NH3-N), and other organic and inorganic pollutants. Among them, COD, colour, and NH3-N are difficult to be completely eliminated, especially with a single treatment. They should be handled by appropriate treatment facilities before being safely released into the environment. Leachate remediation va
