A brief introduction to solid waste management -- Waste generation and waste characterization -- Solid waste collection -- Solid waste disposal: practices and issues -- Solid waste treatment: processes and technologies.

Summary: "Solid waste amounts to the largest part of waste produced in the world. Therefore, its management and disposal is necessary. Solid waste management is a process through which waste present is collected, transported, treated and disposed. The two most widely used and popular ways to dispose waste are incineration and land filling. A large amount of the waste is also recycled. Some ways of recycling the waste are pyrolysis, energy recovery, resource recovery and biological reprocessing. Most of the topics introduced in this book cover new techniques and the applications of solid waste management. This textbook will serve as a reference to broad spectrum of readers."--Back cover
