Handbook of Solid Waste Management

Abstract

Solid waste is consolidated materials from a wastewater and water supply treatment plant, garbage, refuse, and discarded materials from mining, agricultural operations, industries, and community activities. Several types of solid wastes are produced such as agricultural wastes, municipal wastes, industrial waste, mining waste, nuclear waste, medical waste, etc. Management and proper reuse of solid waste are very important for sustaining and maintaining the entire bio-geo-ecosystem. Due to increased urbanization and burgeoning population, efficient management of solid waste is indispensable, so a complete process of collection, transportation, proper disposal, recycling, and monitoring of solid waste is very crucial at this stage. The sustainability of the agriculture sector closely coincides with the appropriate management of solid wastes so that they are reused. Solid waste management is undertaken to recycle wastes to reduce their detrimental effects on the various environmental segments such as soil, water, health, and aesthetics. Several techniques are used for solid waste management like composting, pyrolysis, recycling, anaerobic digestion, incineration, plasma gasification, landfilling, etc. Anaerobic digestion produces biofuel in the form of biogas. Plasma gasification results in the generation of electricity from wastes using the well-said principle “wealth out of waste.” Composting of solid waste material removes potentially harmful microorganism and provides the most valuable source of nutrients for sustaining the agri-horti-production. So management of solid waste by well-treating in treatment plants produces biosolids that are useful for sustainable agriculture as it provides essential plant nutrients and reduces environmental pollution as well (Solanki and Debnath 2014). Emphasis should be given to identify the role of currently executed policies as well as lacking support and challenges for solid waste management and sustainable agriculture development. This chapter mainly focuses on solid waste, its types, various sources, and disposal technologies used for proper management of solid waste.
