Journal Title: Universal Journal of Environmental Research and Technology - Year 2013, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
With the progress of civilization and rapid industrial development the problem of increase in waste generation becomes more complex in urban areas. The composition and characteristics of solid waste vary from place to place; factors that influence the quantity and composition are the average income level, the sources, the population, social behavior, climate, industrial production and the market for waste materials. The present paper is an attempt to study the composition of municipal solid waste generated from representative residential area and characterization study of the waste collected from disposal site of Aurangabad city. The study was carried out during three year study period from January 2007 to December 2009. The results reveals that, the average degradable material present in solid waste collected from representative houses were.83.50 %. Whereas the average non - degradable material present in cumulative solid waste collected from selected houses were 16.50 %. However the physic-chemical parameters of the solid waste collected from disposal sites were found in moderate range.
