Recent changes in environmental legislation highlighted the need to find ways to solve the problems of organizing the collection of municipal waste, its secondary use and recycling. Depending on the geographic, climatic, economic and resource features of each region, ways to solve these problems may vary significantly. The article, using the example of the Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Okrug – Ugra, assesses the resource of existing landfills for the disposal of municipal solid waste, as well as the degree of provision of the district with enterprises for the collection and processing of secondary material resources. It has been formulated the main reasons of measures failure to form an ecological worldview among the population of the district. During the study, the authors conducted a survey of Surgut citizens to assess their readiness for the implementation of separate waste collection. The survey results showed that most of the population is potentially ready to waste sorting. A rational method was proposed for organizing the selective collection of municipal waste, as well as ways to minimize the amount of certain fractions. The article considers the possibilities of recycling individual components of the waste, taking into account the specifics and needs of the northern region. The authors proposed such methods of processing certain fractions of municipal waste that allow you to get products that are most in demand in the Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Okrug. Based on the assessment results of the morphological composition of the district’s municipal solid waste, it is proposed to recycle the organic part of the waste by composting, the product of which will be in demand as organic fertilizer in greening urban areas. It is proposed to recycle paper waste into ecowool, followed by use as insulation of residential buildings. In addition, this processing product can be claimed as a sorbent in the liquidation of oil spills, which take place due to the specifics of the region.

The exponential population growth in urban areas makes existing solid waste management policies and strategies challenging. The situation becomes more strenuous in fast-growing cities where increasing waste production can hardly be met by the capacity of existing facilities. Practices like waste prevention, recycling, reuse, and recovery are fundamental elements needed for the reduction of solid waste disposed in landfills, especially in fast-growing cities where more sustainable management practices need to be adopted. This study investigated the behavioral attitudes of citizens of the capital of Kazakhstan, Nur-Sultan (former Astana), towards household solid waste disposal and separation at the source. The survey was conducted through stratified random sampling during April and July of 2018 with the participation of 3281 respondents. It is the first attempt, to our knowledge, of assessing recycling trends in Kazakhstan from the household perspective. The results showed that 24% of respondents were already sorting household solid waste despite the absence of a separation system at the source. The study further demonstrated that separation at source could be effective if the local authorities were to introduce sound public awareness campaigns and install recycling bins in close proximity to residential buildings.

AbstractThe rapid industrial development, high population growth, and rapid urbanization of Saudi Arabia have led to increased pollution and waste levels. Every day, solid waste disposal for governments and local authorities becomes a significant challenge. Saudi Arabia produces over 15 million tonnes of solid waste annually, with a population of around 29 million. The waste production per person is estimated at between 1.5 and 1.8 kg per day per person. About 75% of the population in urban areas is concentrated, making it imperative that government steps are taken to boost the country's waste recycling and management scenario. The production of solid waste in Riyadh, Jeddah, and Dammam, three of the largest cities, exceeds seven million tonnes annually, which shows the enormity of the civic body problem. During this study, the design Expert software was involved in the optimization of process parameters during the collection of municipal solid waste (MSW) from Jeddah city. The use of design experiments and numerical optimization is quite effective in optimizing the different process parameters on the overall cost. Saudi Arabia has a critical need for a resilient waste system and agile waste management system to control its municipal solid waste quickly and environmentally friendly for achieve Saudi Vision 2030. For this study design of experiment, software was employed to optimize the cost per trip, thereby considering process parameters. It is therefore essential to examine the existing practices and future opportunities for solid waste collection, storage, and disposal. This study considered that MSW generated in Saudi Arabia which is having great potential to be converted into wealth. Hence, considering the current environment situation, energy prospective and future management strategies for MSW have also been reviewed.

Technological and industrial advancements and the rapid increase in population, gradually changing the function of agricultural land into housing and industrial complexes. Overcoming the reduction of agricultural land, efforts made by farming vertically or verticulture methods.Shallots are an important vegetable commodity for the community, because of their high economic value and nutritional content. To reduce imports, it is necessary to increase production and quality of shallots through intensification and extensification. The purpose of the study was to determine the effect of the composition of the growing media, the effect of the dose of organic fertilizer in municipal waste, and its interaction with the productivity of shallots with verticulture cultivation techniques.The study was conducted in the experimental area of ​​the Faculty of Agriculture, UNTAG Banyuwangi, using Kooi's house, using a factorial completely randomized design (RAL) method with four replications consisting of two factors: the composition of the growing media and the dose of municipal waste fertilizer.Growth media composition factor (M) consists of 3 treatments, namely: M1 = soil: sand: husk (2: 1: 1); M2 = soil: sand: stem of fern (2: 1: 1); and M3 = soil: sand: cocopeat (2: 1: 1). The composition of municipal solid waste (P) consists of 3 treatments, namely: P1 = composition of municipal solid waste organic fertilizer 25%; P2 = composition of city organic waste 50%; and P3 = composition of urban organic waste 75%. Observation parameters in this study were Plant Height (cm), Number of Leaves, Wet Weight (grams), Number of Tubers, and Tuber Diameter (cm).

The article presents the results of ash quantity and composition investigation in municipal solid waste in Latvia. The goal was to detect the main chemical elements of ash for unsorted and screened waste fractions. The samples were taken from three solid municipal waste landfills and from two mechanized waste pre-treatment centres in Latvia. The present report summarizes results of ash investigations after combustion of the light waste fraction.

Over the years, the generation of municipal waste in India has increased significantly. Solid waste management has become an important issue due to poor waste management practices affect public health and urban services. Municipal waste generation increases with increasing population, urbanization and industrialization. Municipal solid wastes disposal is a stinging and widespread problem in many developed and developing countries, in both urban and rural areas. Municipal waste management solutions must be economically sustainable, technically feasible, social, legally acceptable and environmentally friendly. Sanitary landfilling is popular in most countries because of the due to its relatively low cost and low technical requirements This paper mainly review on need to dispose of municipal waste, sanitary land filling method of disposal of MSW, Evaluation of the impact of landfills on the environment such leachate, land fill gases (LFG), land fill fires (LFF), strategies for effective management of sanitary landfills and sustainable measures (reduce, reuse and recycle) to minimize the amount of waste that ends up in landfills. Keywords: Municipal solid waste, Sanitary landfill, leachate, land fill gases (LFG) and land fill fires (LFF).
