 WASTE
• It is defined as
It is often also called trash, garbage, rubbish, or junk. It can be solid, liquid, or gas,
or it can be waste heat.
or
• Waste is any substance which is discarded after primary use, or is worthless,
defective and of no use. A by-product by contrast is a joint product of relatively minor
economic value.
TYPES OF WASTE
• Solid Waste
• Liquid waste
• Organic Waste
• Recyclable Waste
• Hazardous Waste.
SOLID WASTE
 SOLID WASTE
• A solid waste is any material that is discarded by being:
• Abandoned: The term abandoned means thrown away. A material is abandoned if it is disposed of, burned, incinerated, or sham
recycled.
• Inherently Waste-Like: Some materials pose such a threat to human health and the environment that they are always
considered solid wastes; these materials are considered to be inherently waste-like. Examples of inherently waste-like materials
include certain dioxin-containing wastes.
• A Discarded Military Munition: Military munitions are all ammunition products and components produced for or used by the
U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) or U.S. Armed Services for national defense and security. Unused or defective munitions
are solid wastes when:
• abandoned (i.e., disposed of, burned, incinerated) or treated prior to disposal;
• rendered nonrecyclable or nonusable through deterioration; or
• declared a waste by an authorized military official.
Used (i.e., fired or detonated) munitions may also be solid wastes if collected for storage, recycling, treatment, or disposal.

• Agriculture
• Fisheries
• Household
• Commerce and industry
 MUNCIPAL SOLID WASTE
• Municipal Solid Waste (MSW), commonly called “trash” or “garbage,”
includes wastes such as durable goods (e.g., tires, furniture), nondurable
goods (e.g., newspapers, plastic plates/cups), containers and packaging
(e.g., milk cartons, plastic wrap), and other wastes (e.g., yard waste, food).
This category of waste generally refers to common household waste, as
well as office and retail wastes, but excludes industrial, hazardous, and
construction wastes. The handling and disposal of MSW is a growing
concern as the volume of waste generated in the U.S. continues to
increase.
 EFFECT OF SOLID WASTE ON
ENVIRONMENT
• Waste breaks down in landfills to form methane, a potent greenhouse gas
• Change in climate and destruction ofozone layer due to waste biodegradable
• Liering, due to waste pollutions, illegal dumping, Leaching: is a process by which solid
waste enter soil and ground water and contaminating them.

 WASTE MANAGEMENT CONCEPT

• solid-waste management, the collecting, treating, and disposing of solid

material that is discarded because it has served its purpose or is no longer
useful. Improper disposal of municipal solid waste can create unsanitary
conditions, and these conditions in turn can lead to pollution of the 
environment and to outbreaks of vector-borne disease—that is, diseases
spread by rodents and insects. The tasks of solid-waste management present
complex technical challenges. They also pose a wide variety of
administrative, economic, and social problems that must be managed and
solved.
 CONCLUSION

• Solid and hazardous waste infrastructure does not suffer so

much from disrepair as in the case of water mains or
highways, however there is clearly a shortage of capacity or
dealing with the waste streams.. Technology is not being
applied as effectively as it could be and governmental
enforcement is constrained. by the lack of adequate funding.
