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.

<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.

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.

In the city of Ouagadougou in Burkina Faso, faecal sludge treatment plants suffer from the lack of a process for recovering sludge after drying. Forsolid household waste, the quantities collected are mainly intended fortechnical landfill. Finding a solution for the recovery of Dewatered Faecal Sludge (DFS) and Organic Household Solid Waste (OHSW) is necessary in order to complete the faecal sludge management and solid waste management sectors. Our work aims to make a physico-chemical, microbiological and eco-toxicological study of a compost based on DFS and OHSW in order to propose a methodological approach for the sustainable production of hygienic compost. This article discusses the first step of our research, which consisted in characterizing the DFS at the Zagtouli treatment station as well as the OHSW of waste treatment and recovery center of Ouagadougou in order to identify a suitable recovery channel. To do so, a representative sample was taken from the Zagtouli DFS heap for laboratory analysis. The OHSW sample was obtained from household garbage bins from pre-collection centers in the city of Ouagadougou. The raw characteristics of DFS and OHSW (organic matter, nitrogen, pH, etc.) and their value in mineral elements (calcium, magnesium, potassium, phosphorus) show that these substrates would be ideal for the production of quality compost.

Solid waste management is one of the most important challenges for the local administration in Pleiku city. The study on current assessment and proposing solid waste control solutions was con-ducted in Pleiku city, Gia Lai province. In general, the large volume of the municipal solid waste caused pollution and loss of ecological beauty - case study in Pleiku city. This paper investigated the total solid of waste volume which was increasing in periods from 2012 to 2016 with 35,386; 38,689; 43,243; 46,900 and 50,737 tons per year, respectively. 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. The MBT-CD.08 technology are a useful solution, high feasibility and will be saved costs related to the solid waste treatment.


The extent of this study includes management of solid waste adopted in the Amravati city by vermicomposting. As generation of organic waste has become an environmental problem of public concern citywide. Management of the solid waste is totally depends upon the population , their religious rituals, living standards, degree of commercialization, industrialization and various processes done in the city generates the solid waste. In Amravati city, at sukali depot there is generation of this waste is going increased day by day and hence to dispose all the municipal waste becomes the top priority of city. The organic waste from all the vegetable markets are get collected at the depot. Hence it needs some practices for the disposal of waste. As there are many methods are available for the waste management. Out of which for MSW, Vermicomposting can be used for the recycling of waste. It is a mesophilic process utilizing micro-organisms In this method Eisenia Fetida earthworms are used for 45 days to recycle the waste. After 45 days organic matter, total oxygen demand, Ph, TP, TC, TOC, TKN, C-N tests carried out and their initial and final readings were analysed. Recovery of vermicompost and increase in earthworms were analysed. Vermicmposting can be done very easily and able to dispose the municipal waste properly. After decomposing there is a conversion of waste into manure which can be used for agriculture purpose. And also there are again a production of earthworms which we can used for further vermicomposting of organic waste. This study identifies the potential of vermicomposting for waste management.
