India is developing country where population increases per year. As time progressed the peoples are migrated from towns to cities, they generate more and more MSW. Nowadays in India, the most common ways of handling waste are to open dumping and uncontrolled burning. These methods are causing severe environmental pollution and health problem. However, there are some other effective methods are present in nowadays to reduce the amount of waste generated such as Bio methanation. Today in sangli city the collected waste is sent to the landfill site without doing any process on it. Hence it is necessary to design solid waste treatment facility to the sangli city. In this paper and attempt is made to design biomethane plant for disposing of waste generated in sangli city which provides number of other benefits in the form of methane gas which could be used for cooking, electricity generation and manure for farming. The study concluded that the installation of biomethane plant in sangli city for disposing of MSW is improving solid waste management practice so as to reduce environment pollution, saving transportation cost of waste and improve quality of life in city.

The study was conducted to investigate the present solid waste management practice in Mymensingh municipal area especially in Ward 04 and 06. Huge solid wastes are generated every day in these wards but the waste management is not properly done because of their irregular waste management activities or unconsciousness. Maximum respondents discharged 1kg solid waste from their households per day and the respondents were 64%. Other 18% household discharged 0.5 kg and another 18% discharged 2 kg solid waste from their house per day. A majority percent of people dumps the produced solid waste in their living surroundings which produce various hazards in human health and environmental problems. This improper waste management can be managed by the regularity of management work, building awareness of the people and improving waste treatment. The municipality and other related NGOs should work together to solve these issues. It was revealed from the study that due to lack of people knowledge about solid waste management, lack of adequate budget for waste management, lack of available transport vehicles for waste management, lack of proper solid waste treatment plant etc. The total solid waste management system required following the recommendation which include proper planning, creating awareness, developing infrastructure, providing logistic support and finally involving NGOs, CBOs, public in this process. A sustainable solid waste management can be established which can lead the studied area to a healthy setting.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/jesnr.v5i2.14813 J. Environ.

<p>This study aims to analyze the existing conditions of the solid waste management system in Pasaman Barat Regency and discuss the alternative development of solid waste management systems with a solid waste treatment approach At the regional and municipal scale as a solution to the problem of solid waste management in  Pasaman Barat Regency. From this study it is known that the level of existing solid waste management services was  only 9.13% of total solid waste generated. The problems faced in solid waste management in Pasaman Barat Regency were still high levels of unserved solid waste, inadequate operational facilities and infrastructure for solid waste management, uneven handling of solid waste in service area coverage and the low practice of waste minimization and utilization. The solid waste man-agement system in Pasaman West Regency in the future can apply a combination of solid waste manage-ment approaches at the regional level based on Solid Waste Treatment Station with reduce-reuse-recycle approach (TPS 3R) in domestic areas and treatment at the city level based on Intergrated Solid Waste Treatment Station (TPST) at the landfill site, with the development of the system planned for 15 years, solid waste volume taken into the landfill site can be reduced by 22.40%</p>


The paper presents a proposal for selecting the appropriate waste treatment method for Misurata, reviewing key criteria for such a decision. Many countries use modern methods of solid waste treatment, which can be transformed from the source of pollution into an economic commodity. Libya continues to suffer from solid waste management processes in terms of aggregation, transport or treatment. This paper deals with an approach in the field of solid waste treatment in terms of the nature of these wastes and their methods of management. It also addresses environmental problems related to the subject of solid waste using different treatment methods. It also reviews some studies on this subject. The study concluded that the environmental standard criteria are the most important when making the decision, followed by the technical criteria. At the level of the proposed technique, the study showed that the anaerobic digestion technique is the most appropriate. For the purpose of selecting the best method for solid waste management, the swing weighting method was developed using Ms-Excel.

Este trabalho de abordagem qualitativa, buscou conhecer a trajetória de vida de agentes ambientais e a importância atribuída por eles à atividade de catador de material reciclável, bem como conhecer as experiências do município de Francisco Beltrão-PR em atividades relacionadas ao tratamento de resíduos sólidos. Foram entrevistados três trabalhadores informais que atuam na coleta de materiais recicláveis, mediante termo de consentimento com a pesquisa. E, para compreender a concepção que subsidia as ações do poder público municipal, foi entrevistado o diretor da Secretaria Municipal do Meio Ambiente. Dentre os resultados das entrevistas com os catadores, destaca-se que a catação de material reciclável se torna alternativa na falta de qualificação para o mercado de trabalho. Estes trabalhadores são frequentemente submetidos a situações de risco à saúde e rotina diária exaustiva realizada em condições precárias, corroborando com a entrevista realizada com o diretor da Secretaria Municipal do Meio Ambiente. Os resultados da pesquisa podem contribuir no reconhecimento do trabalho exercido pelos agentes ambientais e/ou catadores de material reciclável como relevante para a sociedade.  ABSTRACTThis qualitative approach work searched to know the life trajectory of environmental agents and the importance assigned by them to the activity of collecting recyclable material, and to know the experiences lived by the city of Francisco Beltrão activities related to solid waste treatment. Three informal workers that act in collecting recyclable material were interviewed, through permission form about the research. And, to understand the conception that subsidizes the actions of the municipal government, the director of Environmental Municipal Secretary was interviewed. Among the collectors’ interviews results, it is noteworthy that collecting recyclable material becomes an alternative in the absence of enough qualification to the labor market. These workers are frequently subjected on health risks situations and an exhaustive routine performed in precarious conditions, corroborating the interview conducted with the Environment Municipal Secretary director. The research results can contribute to the environmental agents and/or recyclable material collectors works recognition as relevant to the society.

The amount of solid waste was col-lected mainly from households and they was equal to the highest rate of 78.7%. Regarding to prediction by 2030, the volume of municipal solid waste tends to increase with 361.186 tons per day. The solid waste was buried in a landfill and used a large land area, but it just can be used in a short time. In addition, the volume and composition of municipal solid waste were relevant to the MBT-CD.08 technology's standard. This researching will be contributed to the decision-making on the selection of solid waste treatment technology in Pleiku city following their trends such as the sustainable development and the high benefits.
