Journal Title: Journal of Research in Biology - Year 2011, Vol 1, Issue 5
Abstract
Studies were performed to appreciate the present status to municipal solid waste (MSW) in Kovilpatti town. MSW is a complex waste. It is a classic example where many different types of wastes aggregate from domestic, commercial and industrial sources within a single waste stream.
