SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT - LU

1 SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT Dr. J nis Za oksnis 2 2 Municipal SOLID WASTE , commonly known as trash or garbage (US), refuse or rubbish (UK) is a WASTE type consisting of everyday items we consume and discard. It predominantly includes food wastes, yard wastes, containers and product packaging, and other miscellaneous inorganic wastes from residential, commercial, institutional, and industrial sources. Examples of organic wastes are newspapers, clothing, food scrapes, boxes, disposable tableware, office and classroom paper, furniture, wood pallets, rubber tires, and canteen or cafeteria wastes. Municipal SOLID WASTE does not include industrial wastes, agricultural wastes, and sewage sludge.

The waste hierarchy refers to the 3 (or 4) R’s of reduce, reuse, recycle, (recovery) which classify waste management strategies according to their desirability. The R’s are meant to be a hierarchy, in order of importance. However in Europe the waste hierarchy has 5 steps: reduce, reuse, recycle, recovery, and disposal.
