    This document discusses solid waste generation and storage. It provides an example calculation to determine the amount of municipal solid waste generated daily and weekly in two towns of equal size but different waste generation rates. The town in Johor Bahru generates 19,000 kg of waste per day and 133,000 kg per week. Meanwhile, the town in Kuala Lumpur generates 38,000 kg per day and 266,000 kg per week due to its higher waste generation rate.

    BFA 4033 SOLID WASTE AND HAZARDOUS WASTE MANAGEMENT

    DR AESLINA ABDUL KADIR

    SECTION 2 SOLID WASTE GENERATION AND STORAGE

    Example 1

    A town of 2,000 homes in Johor Bahru generates 0.95 kg/person.d of municipal solid waste. Another town of the same size in Kuala Lumpur generates 1.9kg/person.day? Assume: 1 home have 10 residents Questions How much MSW is generated in each town per day? How much MSW is generated in each town per week?

    Solution How much MSW is generated in each town per day Johor Bahru 2,000 x 10 person x 0.95 kg/person.d = 19,000 kg/day

    Kuala Lumpur 2,000 x 10 person x 1.9 kg/person.d = 38,000 kg/day


    How much MSW is generated in each town per week Johor Bahru 2,000 x 10 person x 0.95 kg/person.d = 19,000 kg/day x 7d/week = 133,000kg/week Kuala Lumpur 2,000 x 10 person x 1.9 kg/person.d = 38,000 kg/day x 7d/week = 266,000kg/week
