Solid waste management (SWM) includes all activities that seek to minimize health, environmental, and aesthetic impacts of solid waste. In urban areas, especially in the rapidly urbanizing cities of the developing world, problems and issues of municipal solid waste management (MSWM) are of immediate importance. This book addresses the problem by focusing on India. A country such as India, with its high economic growth and rapid urbanization, requires immediate solutions to the problems related to mismanagement of urban waste. City managers are actively trying to understand the problem and are seeking effective ways of intervening. They realize that such interventions are essential to improving the quality of their cities and to reducing adverse health and environmental impacts. For cities to be sustainable and to continue their economic development, they must be clean and healthy. They need to improve their SWM systems by adopting good collection coverage, appropriate transfer methods, and healthy disposal practices.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOAGRICULTURAL WASTEANAEROBIC DIGESTIONANIMAL EXCRETAANIMAL WASTEANIMALSASHBACKACHEBIODEGRADABLE MATERIALBIODEGRADABLE WASTEBURIALCARBON DIOXIDECHEMICAL COMPOSITIONCHEMICAL POLLUTANTSCHEMICAL TREATMENTCHEMICAL WASTECOLLECTED WASTECOLLECTION FREQUENCYCOLLECTION OF WASTECOLLECTION OF WASTESCOLLECTION ROUTESCOLLECTION SYSTEMSCOLLECTION VEHICLESCOMMERCIAL WASTECOMMUNITY PARTICIPATIONCOMPOSTCOMPOST MARKETINGCOMPOST QUALITYCOMPOST QUALITY STANDARDSCOMPOSTINGCONSTRUCTIONCONSTRUCTION WASTECOOLINGDECISION MAKINGDEMOLITION DEBRISDEMOLITION WASTEDISINFECTANTSDISPOSALDISPOSAL ACTIVITIESDISPOSAL FACILITIESDISPOSAL OF WASTEDISPOSAL PRACTICESDISPOSAL PROBLEMDISPOSAL SITEDISPOSAL SITESDOMESTIC SOLID WASTEDOMESTIC WASTEDRAINSDUMPING GROUNDDUMPSENERGY RECOVERYENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTIONFATIGUEFINAL DISPOSALFIRESFOOD WASTEGARBAGEGAS EMISSIONSGASIFICATIONGENERATION OF WASTEGHGGLASSGREENHOUSE GASESGROUNDWATERHAZARDOUS CHEMICALSHAZARDOUS INDUSTRIALHAZARDOUS WASTEHAZARDOUS WASTE HEALTH CAREHAZARDOUS WASTE MANAGEMENTHEALTH CARE WASTEHEALTH HAZARDSHOSPITALSHOUSEHOLD WASTEHUMAN EXCRETAHUMAN FECAL MATTERHYGIENEINCINERATIONINCINERATORSINDUSTRIAL SOLID WASTEINDUSTRIAL WASTEINFECTIOUS WASTEINORGANIC MATERIALSINTEGRATED SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENTLANDFILLLANDFILL DISPOSALLANDFILL GASLANDFILL GAS RECOVERYLANDFILL SITESLANDFILLINGLANDFILLSLARGE LANDFILLSLAWSLEACHATELIQUID WASTELITTERLITTER BINSLIVING CONDITIONSLOCATIONMANUREMEDICINESMETHANEMETHANE EMISSIONSMETROPOLITAN CITIESMSWMUNICIPAL SOLIDMUNICIPAL SOLID WASTEMUNICIPAL SOLID WASTE COMPOSITIONMUNICIPAL SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENTMUNICIPAL WASTEMUNICIPAL WASTE SERVICENIMBYNONHAZARDOUS INDUSTRIAL WASTENURSINGNURSING HOMESNUTRIENTSOCCUPATIONAL HEALTHODORSOPEN DUMPSOPEN TRUCKSORGANIC MATTERORGANIC WASTEPARASITESPLASTICPOLLUTANTSPOLLUTIONPOLLUTION CONTROLPOROSITYPREVENTIVE MAINTENANCEPUBLIC HEALTHPUBLIC PARTICIPATIONPYROLYSISQUALITY OF LIFERECOVERY SYSTEMSRECYCLABLE MATERIALRECYCLABLE MATERIALSRECYCLABLE WASTERECYCLINGRECYCLING COOPERATIVESRECYCLING INDUSTRYREFRIGERATORSREFUSERESOURCE RECOVERYRUBBISHSALVAGINGSANITARY LANDFILLSANITARY LANDFILLSSANITATIONSANITATION FACILITIESSANITATION WORKERSSMOKESOLID WASTE DISPOSALSOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT SYSTEMSOLID WASTE SECTORSOLID WASTE SERVICESSOLID WASTE STREAMSOLID WASTESSPARE PARTSSPECIAL WASTESTREET CLEANINGSTREET SWEEPINGSSWMTOXIC SUBSTANCESTRASHTREATMENT OF WASTEUNEMPLOYMENTURBAN POPULATION GROWTHURBAN WASTEVERMICOMPOSTINGVIRUSESWASTE COLLECTIONWASTE COLLECTION POINTSWASTE COLLECTION SERVICEWASTE COLLECTION SERVICESWASTE COLLECTORSWASTE DISPOSALWASTE DISPOSAL SITESWASTE FACILITIESWASTE GENERATIONWASTE MANAGEMENT CHAINWASTE MANAGEMENT PRACTICESWASTE MANAGEMENT SYSTEMSWASTE MANAGERSWASTE MATERIALSWASTE MINIMIZATIONWASTE PLASTICSWASTE QUANTITIESWASTE RECOVERYWASTE RECYCLINGWASTE SEGREGATIONWASTE SOURCEWASTE STORAGEWASTE TRANSPORTWASTE TREATMENTWASTE TREATMENT TECHNOLOGIESWASTE TYPESWASTE · COLLECTIONWASTESWATER RESOURCEWORKERSWORKING CONDITIONSWORMSYELLOW FEVERWorld Bank10.1596/978-0-8213-7361-3
