Comparing Differing Approaches for Effective Solid Waste Management

In the early history, all the waste generated by people, their composition was completely organic, left on the ground and broken down over time. In addition, the population is small, everything has been modified and reused. As people develop comfortable things and begin building houses, the population will increase and the city will prosper. According to the National Waste Recycling Association (2012), with the increase in population and the increase in waste production, there is a necessity to develop a waste treatment system.

Before introducing solid waste management, let's explain the material being managed - solid waste. Solid waste refers to a series of wastes generated by animal and human activities and discarded as unnecessary and useless. Solid waste arises from industrial, residential and commercial activities in specific areas and can be disposed of in various ways. Therefore, reclaimed land is often classified as sanitation, municipality, construction and dismantling or place of industrial waste.

In order to prepare a plan for urban solid waste management system, it is important to understand the amount of waste generated from local communities and various kinds of waste. The amount of solid waste generated varies from place to place and varies from country to country. The production and composition of solid waste are affected by consumption patterns, climate, seasons, cultural practices and so on. The size of the population is an important process or influence of municipal solid waste, but it may also be affected by other factors. There is a positive correlation between the size of urban population and the proportion of household garbage collection. The population increase and the size of the city as a hole have caused problems in the management of solid waste in Cameroon. According to current data by Limbe, according to the 2005 census, Limbe's current population is estimated to be 84,223 people. Solid waste will increase by 100 to 150 tons per day

There are different options for reducing, processing and processing solid waste. However, landfill is still the most common way of solid waste management. The sanitary landfill for solid waste management is an engineering that forms a thin layer by using solid waste, compresses it to the minimum real volume, and covers the solid waste with soil every working day to protect the environment Brenner and Keller, 1972, which is defined as a way). There are 230 official abandonment sites in Malaysia, most of which are crude oil landfill sites, only 10% providing leachate treatment tanks and gas ventilation systems, mostly with no management mechanism and no supervision is. However, the landfill method can lead to the production of leachate (Galbrand, 2003). Leachate is defined as a liquid that permeates solid waste and extracts dissolved or suspended matter (EEA, 2005). The generation of leachate is by far the most serious threat to groundwater.
