 INTRODUCTION
• DEFINITION : Any moveable solid material that is
perceived to be of no further use and is permanently
discarded.

• TYPES : HAZARDOUS AND NON HAZARDOUS WASTE

 METHODS OF SOLID WASTE
DISPOSAL
• INCINERATION
• LANDFILLS
• IN-SITU DISPOSAL
• RECYCLING
• REUSE
 INCINERATION

• Solid organic wastes are subjected to

COMBUSTION

• Convert into - residue

- gaseous product
 LANDFILLS
(MODERN LANDFILLS)
LANDFILL CONTAINING LEACHATE LANDFILL GAS EXTRACTION SYSTEM

GAS PUMPED OUT USING :

CLAY/PLASTIC LINING MATERIAL -PERFORATED PIPES

-FLARED OFF OR BURNT IN GAS ENGINE
(GENERATE ELECTRICITY)

INCREASE STABILITY AND DENSITY

EXTRACT LANDFILL GAS
COVERED IN LANDFILL

PREVENT GREEN HOUSE GAS

PREVENT ATTRACTING VERMIN -CARBON DIOXIDE
-METHANE
 IN-SITU DISPOSAL
Dump off by burying underground at the site

Location - away from water surface

The disposed materials must be - non-radioactive
 RECYCLING
• Collecting the
reusable wastes

• items can be
REPROCESSED into
new products

• Mostly collected
separately from
wastes using
dedicated bins
 REUSE

• Definition : Use an item again after it has been

used

• Help save time, money, energy, and resources.

 HAZARDOUS WASTE
Hazardous waste MEANING :

solids, sludge, liquids and containerized gasses

other than radioactive and infectious wastes
which by reason of their chemical activity or toxic,
explosive, corrosive or other characteristics cause
danger or will cause danger to healthy or
environment
EFFECT OF HAZARDOUS WASTES

1. Sensitisation - skin contact with a chemical

2. Damage to the central nervous system
3. damage to the embryo and fetus leading to birth
defect
4. Result in change to the DNA structure in genes
5. Carcinogenicity - the development of malignant
tumors and neoplasms (new growth)
