IoT Technology Increases Municipal Waste Management Efficiency
You’ve probably come across an overflowing trash bin at least once or twice if you live in a major city. That’s because cities generate more waste than other areas of residency. For example, the City of Chicago accounts for nearly 70% of all waste generated in the state of Illinois, which isn’t all that surprising knowing that population density tends to be higher in cities. ...

Experimental vs. arbitrary landfill diversion targets
An experimental method is developed for setting pragmatic short–term landfill diversion targets of municipal waste in emerging economies. Domestic waste composition is shown to be quite uniform throughout developing countries of Africa, Asia and America. Consequently, the method developed in Brazil is readily exportable to other continents with minor numerical adjustments. It consists of ...

Estimating educational effects in waste management services
Recently, the user charge policy for household waste is widely introduced in Japan. The user charge can achieve the reduction of waste disposal through the two paths; one is the price mechanisms and the other is an educational effect. In this paper, we have evaluated the emission reduction effects of the each path by using the demand function of a household for waste management service which is ...

Enhancing the hydrolysis step in anaerobic digestion of municipal solid waste using rumen fluid
Bench scale reactors were operated to optimise the hydrolysis rate of municipal solid waste (MSW) using daily and alternate day addition of 3%, 5% and 10% V/V of rumen fluid. Quantitative and qualitative analysis of leachate were practised daily. Cumulative pollution leaching, i.e. COD, TS, VFA and Amm-N, was comparatively higher with the daily addition of rumen fluid than the alternate addition ...
