The types of solid waste collected were paper, aluminum, glass, plastic, food waste, e-waste, clinical waste and others. 0000088374 00000 n These characteristics proved that the high amount of combustibles in University of Phayao can be potentially used as solid waste through waste compacting refuse-derived fuel (RDF) which would be an appropriate option of solid waste management in University of Phayao. 32 kg/capita/day, with food wastes representing the largest portion of waste at 33. As a consequence, the overall production of waste at HEIs throughout the world is very large and presents significant challenges as the associated legislative, economic and environmental pressures can be difficult to control and manage. of site specific audits lies within their ability to capture these spatial differences in campus residential The results show that the average chemical characteristics: moisture content, total solids, volatile solid, carbon fixed, hydrogen, and ash content from the solid waste in this study was 21.67%, 78.33%, 47.94%, 26.63%, 31.96%, and 38.34%, respectively.

waste management strategies across university campuses. As a practical illustration of some of the issues and problems, the four-phase waste management strategy developed over 15 years by one of the largest universities in Southern England--the University of Southampton (UoS)--is outlined as a case study. a campus’ residential waste stream is a critical first step toward developing successful and effective complexes. Conclusion/Recommendations: These results showed providing suitable and enough number of recycling bins would encourage more people to participate in recycling activities. 0000000016 00000 n Of the total 587.4 kg and 14.8 m3 of residential waste All rights reserved.The objective of this study is to determine solid waste generation and waste composition, and its physical and chemical characteristics. All the collected solid waste is sent to the municipal dumpsite for final disposal. the residence halls, and the presence or absence and quantity of kitchens in each building. The objective of the study was to identify types, quantity and composition of solid waste in hostel area. The highest composition was food waste accounted for 48.30% by weight. 117 0 obj <> endobj 0000002257 00000 n Collection! As a result of the strategy developed at the UoS, from 2004 to 2008 waste costs fell by around £125k and a recycling rate of 72% was achieved. Storage! Major recyclable materials present in the kitchen/cafeteria “rubbish” stream were food, paper and plastics, whilst food, glass and plastics were the major cross-contaminants in the concourse area. 0000002124 00000 n Paper and paper products, disposable drink containers and compostable organic material represented three of the most significant material types for targeted waste reduction and recycling efforts. In conclusion the characterization of solid waste in UiTM (Perak) provides better understanding of waste profile. waste management practices is disposed. Waste generation rates will more than double over Thus, practical and economical strategies for waste minimization could be planned by the university’s administration. •Data and information on waste characterization and quantification (including future trends), and assessment of current solid waste management system for

Municipal solid waste generated totaled 9.6 million tons, of which 4.0 million tons, or 41%, were recycled in 2014 (Figure 2). 0000088530 00000 n stream with regards to the glass, compost material, and cardboard content among the different housing
