Developing a Waste Management
Program
Factors to consider
1. Developing the Necessary Information Base
2. Modelling Techniques
3. Physical Techniques
4. Direct Measurement Techniques
5. Estimating the Percentage of Material that
must be
Managed
6 Estimating Future Waste Generation
7. Organizing a Waste Management Team
Collection and Transfer
1. Developing a Solid Waste Collection &
Transfer
System
2. Defining Community Goals & Constraints
3. Characterizing Waste, Types & the Service
Area
4. Determing the System Funding Structure
5. Identifying Waste Preparation & Collection
Procedures
6. Determing the Collection Equipment &
Crew
Source Reduction
USEPA as the design, manufacture, purchase
or use of materials to reduce their quantity or
toxicity before they reach the waste stream.
NRC - any action that avoids the creation of
waste by reducing waste at the source.
The Elements of Source Reduction
1. Reduced Material use in Product
Manufacture
2. Increase Useful Life of a Product through
Durability and Repairability
3. Decreased Toxicity
4. Material Reuse
5. Reduce/ More Effecient Consumer Use of
Materials
6. Increased Production Efficiency Resulting in
Less Production Waste
Recycling
12 Component Recycling Program Plan
1. Identify Goals
2. Characterize Recycable Quantity,
Composition &
Accesibilty
3. Asses and Generate Political Support
4. Asses Markets & Market Development
Strategies for Recycables
5. Asses & Choose Technologies for Collection &
Processing
6. Develop Budget and Organization
7. Address Legal & Siting Issues
8. Develop Start-up Approach
9. Implement Education & Publicity Program
10. Begin Program Operation
11. Supervise Ongoing Program & Continue
Publicity & Education
12. Review and Adjust Program
Land Disposal
Key Term used in MSW landfill design include the
ff:
1. Waste Management Boundary
2. Liner
3. Cover
4. Leachate
5. Leachate Collection System
6. Landfill Gas
7. Gas Control & Recovery System
8. Gas Monitoring Probe System
9. Groundwater Monitoring Well System
Schematic of Typical Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) Landfill
16 Step Process is made and
these Steps are organized into
Four Phases
Phase 1(steps 1-6) involves developing
information base and making some
preliminary site decision
Phase 2 (steps 7-12) includes making a
detailed design for the landfill and for
managing related issues such groundwater
monitoring, leachate and gas management
Phase 3 (steps 13-14) involves financial
assurance and beginning actual operation.
Phase 4 (steps 15-16) includes closure and
post-closure care
Determining the Landfill Volumes is
the First Task in the Design Process
-Determine Accurate Tonnage Estimate of
Waste to be received at the Site
-Estimate Anticipated Increase or Decrease in
the Diversion of Material to Waste-to-Energy
Facilities, Composting, Recycling, Reuse
Efforts, or Waste Minimization Efforts
-Determine Density Figure of the Waste
-Estimate the Amount of Waste Settlement
Potential Sites must be in Areas
that are suitable for Landfill
development.
1. A landfill must be consistent with the overall land-
use planning in the area
2. The site must be accessible from major roadways
or thoroughfares.
3. The site should have adequate quantity of earth
cover material that is easily handled and compacted
4. The site must be chosen with regard for the
sensitivities of the communitys residents
5. The site must be located in an area where the
landfills operation will not detrimentally affect
environmentally sensitive resources.
6. The site should be large enough to
accomodate the communitys waste for a
reasonable time.
7. The site chosen should facilitate developing
a landfill that will satisfy budgetary
constraints, including site development,
operation for many years, closure, postclosure care, and possible remedian costs.
8. Operating plans must include provisions for
coordinating with recycling and resource
recovery projects.
