Process Flow in an Integrated Solid Waste Management System
Generation:
- Waste is generated by households, businesses, and industries.
Source Separation:
- Waste is separated at the source into recyclables, organic waste, and non-recyclable waste.
Collection:
- Recyclables, organic waste, and non-recyclable waste are collected from various sources.
Facility Separation:
- The collected waste is taken to a facility where further separation and processing occur.
- Recyclables are sorted and sent to recycling facilities.
- Organic waste may be composted or converted into energy through processes like anaerobic digestion.
- Non-recyclable waste is prepared for disposal.
Transfer and Transport:
- Waste that cannot be processed at the facility is transferred and transported to a landfill.
- Specialized vehicles are used to transport the waste to the landfill.
Landfill:
- Waste that cannot be recycled, composted, or converted into energy is disposed of in a landfill.
- Landfills are designed to minimize environmental impacts and manage waste effectively.
This process flow ensures that waste is managed in a sustainable and environmentally friendly manner, promoting recycling, composting, and proper disposal of waste.
