Geotechnical Investigations

In Liberia, waste management is one of the main challenges faced by municipal authorities, environmental technicians and public health practitioners in their quest to maintain a clean, safe and healthy environment. The construction and operation of a sanitary landfill ensures adequate waste management and, by extension, the protection of both the environment and human receptors. This study presents the results of geotechnical investigations conducted on soils from two sedimentary units of Liberia: Paynesville Sandstone and Farmington River Formation. The intent of the study was to assess the suitability of the soil for use as landfill liner. Three soil samples were collected from each of the two sedimentary units and, using B.S 1377 (1990), soils characteristics such as particle size distribution, permeability, liquid limit, plastic limit, plasticity index and hydraulic conductivity were measured and presented as mean values. Hydraulic conductivity of a sanitary landfill liner is the most important parameter to consider in materials selection. The results of hydraulic conductivity obtained from the study showed that only the samples from Farmington River Formation met the USEPA (1994) and CGRM (2007) requirement of ≤ 1x10-9 m/sec suitable for use as landfill liner. The mean soil permeability results for the Paynesville Sandstone and Farmington River Formation were 2.5 mL/hr and 0.05 mL/hr respectively; implying that the samples from the Paynesville Sandstone are more permeable and, thus, more susceptible to leaching and groundwater contamination if used as a bottom liner in a landfill design. Based on the findings of this research, it can be concluded that the sample from the Farmington River Formation is more suitable for use as a natural material for landfill liner. The quality of the sample should, however, be improved by addition of small amounts of bentonite.

Waste problems in Indonesia will increase due to public awareness of serious waste problems. The problem of waste management is an issue that we must solve together in order to grow a sense of love and concern for a clean and healthy environment. The research method that we use is the empirical method by directly visiting the Karawang Environmental Office, by directly interviewing the head of the UPTD 1 DLHK (Karawang Environmental Service) namely Mr. Luki, asking about providing solutions and the government's own movement to the problem of the waste management process in Ulekan Village. in order to create a quality environment that is healthy and clean. Referring to the definition of waste and its types, it is necessary to handle and manage waste in a good way. Referring to information from the Department of Public Works of Semarang City (2008), waste management can be done with 3R waste management, namely: Reuse (Reuse), Reduce (Reduce), Recycle (Recycle). Given the increasing population growth every day, the waste produced by each citizen will increase and create problems regarding waste that accumulates and is scattered. This is exacerbated by inadequate places and locations for waste disposal, there is still a lack of public understanding of the benefits of waste. Various things have led to a decline in environmental quality which has a negative impact on the community.

The issue of solid waste management through recycling programs in Malaysia have long been discussed in the mainstream media. However, the issue is still not taken seriously since until today the recycling rate is still low about 11 percent compared to developed countries, which already exceeds 70 percent. The situation is alarming because of its implications on the health and size of landfill is increasingly limited. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the level of customer awareness campaign supermarkets to recycle through the reward system through the use of automatic machines discharge bottle called Deposited Recycle Machine (ReDMac). Data were collected through a questionnaire and interviews. A number of respondents involved were 362 people and they were randomly selected from five different locations. The study found that 73.2% of respondents were aware of the recycling campaign held out of which 59.7% were admitted to participate in the recycling campaign, while 77.1% of respondents agreed with the reward system to encourage consumers to practice recycling. This study convinced that the best alternative is to recycle plastic bottle through the use ReDMac, as a new way to educate the society to love environmental.

The key issue in waste management system to ensure healthy environment is Garbage Collection and Dumping In traditional method, at public places garbage bins are placed to collect the garbage, which is usually collected by the garbage collection truck with the help of employed personnel and will be sent to the dumping yard to dump the collected garbage. These bins overflowed frequently before the routine maintenance takes place, which leads to bad order and unhygienic environment causing various life-costing diseases. As this problem is increasing day-by-day, an automated system for effective waste management system is desired which can collect garbage timely without human involvement is proposed and is implemented using NI myRIO, Arduino UNO and NI LabVIEW software. The proposed system consists of two main sub systems- Big Bin and small bin. Big bin moves in a regular predefined path marked as black line in regular time intervals to collect garbage from Small Bins placed in different locations. The proposed system is capable to automate the entire garbage collection and dumping process to ensure healthy environment.

<p><strong>Aim:</strong> The fundamental rationale for a systematic literature review is to examine opportunities and challenges in the privatization of solid waste management, and share knowledge to spark and inspire a process that will usher in public private partnership to ensure cities are kept clean for habitability. <strong>Methodology and Results:</strong> A systematic review of the literature using information obtained from different sources was performed. The Google Search Engine was used to search for these articles. During the search numerous combinations of words and phrases were used to ensure articles reflect the most recent knowledge and scholarly works. Only peer-reviewed articles published after 2000 were selected, except extracts perceived to be of fundamental mileage to the study. However, articles published by staunch international organizations working in privatization of solid waste management for years which had produced indefatigable knowledge in the field were stealthily appraised. The privatization of solid waste management has resulted in some successes which include, but not restricted to: effectiveness, cost saving, timely service delivery, access to funding and expansion, quality services, partnership and community participation, cleanliness and healthy environment, jobs creation and better income, elimination of public monopoly and promotion of competition, new technologies and innovative techniques, public sector concentration on supervision, resources conservation and protection from risks; less bureaucracy and prompt action regarding concerns and complaints. <strong>Conclusion, significance and impact of study:</strong> With a well-thought model and proper public supervision, the privatization of solid of waste management can deliver habitable cities, though not without negative impacts and obstacles.</p>
