This bale can be enclosed with chickén wire and hot asphalt or cement concrete. Tezuka Kosan Co. of Tokyo claims that the materials, once baled, will not decompose and that due to the absence of oxygen, the propagation of microor- ganisms is prevented. {As apart of the waste management process, refuse needs to be treated for final disposal. Composting is one method wherein biodegradable waste is converted into organic material. Itis the biological decomposition of the organic constituents of wastes under controlled conditions.’ It is a process that produces Site selection is an integral part of the study. It is the primary approach to the development of a multi-level waste management complex. hhummas material from the organic portion of the mixed waste.* Another waste disposal method is recycling, Itis the collec- tion, separation, clean-up, and processing of waste materials to produce a marketable material or product. Itcan take place within the manufacturing process and in the post-consumer stage. A full analysis involved in recycling versus treatment and disposal should be made to highlight where and when recycling could be most beneficial” Studies from different sources show that sanitary landfilling > ‘WEST SIDE ELEVATION is the most widely used method of waste disposal. One of its advantages is low cost in terms of equipment and maintenance. Energy reclamation is also possible with the utilization of land- {ill gnses. However, the landfill poses problems such as odor in infestation of rodents and flies, which are causes of health =, problems and diseases. Leachate, the polluted liquid from a ; landfilled waste mass, is also another problem caused by this / ‘method of disposal. In addition, the landfill gases, although a recoverable energy resource, if not properly contained and collected, can be toxic and life threatening,'® Incineration is another alternative means of disposing of, refuse by high-temperature oxidation. Its primary function is that of reducing the volume of wastes, and in addition, it can serve the secondary roles of energy production or destruction of hazardous wastes. Incinerators were initially developed to control refuse combustion and to minimize any nuisance by. smell or smoke." InDenmark refuse incineration with heat utilization has there- fore continued to develop and today more than 60% of the total amount of domestic waste is converted into usefil energy.
