Waste Management Practices

Waste management is the collection, transportation, processing, recycling or disposal of waste materials. The term usually relates to materials produced by human activity and is generally undertaken to reduce their effect on health, aesthetics, amenity and the environment and also to recover resources. Waste management can involve solid liquid or gaseous substances with different methods and fields of emphasis for each. Waste management practices differ for developed, developing nations, for urban and rural areas, and for residential and industrial production. This paper tries to deal with illegal and unplanned solid waste disposal; it also attempts to proffer solutions to the problem of improper waste disposal through incineration and recycling of metals, cellophane and Teflon and how Bauchi state can generate some revenue through the recycling of these waste materials. The paper also tries to educate on the problems associated with landfills while dealing briefly, on the advantages of biological processing and also how waste can be avoided and reduced. The paper also tries to present waste management concepts in relation to Bauchi city.

Construction Type

Building and demolition of structures are common in developing nations owing to fast urbanization taking place. These operations produce an enormous quantity of waste products that are detrimental to the environment, requiring an efficient method of waste management. Construction and Demolition Waste Management (C&DWM) methods frequently embrace the 3R (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle) principle for suitable waste management in construction sites. Managing different waste in separate areas of the industry seems very important nowadays. Most contemporary Western counties around the globe set separate laws to reduce and handle the quantity of waste in various areas of their industries as well. However, waste manufacturing is inevitable in the building sector, and no building site is less waste. Different kinds of waste in building sites can cause infinite social and environmental issues. It seems crystal clear that there is a huge need for waste management in such a scenario. A fresh idea on building waste management has been suggested in latest years is "3R" concept, which is based on three key waste management concepts such as reuse, recycle and reduce. Waste management was discussed in the introduction chapter. Then Construction type of waste was evaluated after Managing was reviewed, then various kinds of waste followed by how to do energy recovery through "3R" principles and lastly how to execute energy recovery through the "3R" principles mentioned. Hopefully the content of this article will benefit various individuals in charge of building projects.
