PROPER WAYS OF WASTE MANAGEMENT

Seperating the waste into different types.

Using rubbish bags.

Recycling the waste.

Reusing the waste.

Burying the waste.

Disposing the chemical waste according to the regulations.

Analysis• When developing a waste management solution,

the following aspects should be considered: – the volume of waste generated– the equipment required– a suitable service schedule – knowledge of waste streams that are

commonly disposed of– identify recycling opportunities

Collection• The waste management solution will indicate

the type of vehicle/s required to service the bin. • Other elements that need to be considered at

the time of waste collection are: –positioning of the bin – the type of bin – the waste stream collected in the nominated

bins, and locks, chains and bars in use

Transportation

• A courier service for waste resources. • Employs a fleet of vehicles to waste and

recycling collections:– front lift trucks– rear lift trucks –hook trucks

Recovery

• Resource Recovery Centers (RRC) or Material Recovery Facility (MRF).

• These facilities sort the waste resources into piles of like materials, the resources are packaged for transportation to the next phase– recyclable items are sent to a recycling

facility–non-recyclable items or general waste is

disposed at landfill.

Recycling / Disposal

• Depending on the type of material, whether it is recycled or disposed of at landfill.

• Recyclable waste is recycled and is diverted away from landfill.

• Non Recycables like General Waste are disposed of at landfill.
