Abstract

The abstract describes a sustainable and economic approach to managing the solid waste of a city. The approach seeks to efficiently collect and dispose of waste while minimizing cost. Three key objectives are addressed to arrive at a financially and environmentally sound solution. The first is to implement strategies that can handle and process the waste loads. The second is to reduce the waste load to the maximum extent possible, and the third is to recover and convert energy from the waste. The primary components of the management system include advanced waste sorting technologies, the formation of a recycling infrastructure, and the conversion of waste to a renewable source of fuel. They allow waste collection routes to be optimized and modern waste disposal methods to be used that can significantly reduce cost and environmental impact. The success of the program is completely dependent upon the awareness and diligence of the population of the city. The abstract highlights the necessity of adopting a holistic and economically viable approach to the management of solid waste, which cannot be achieved without the direct cooperation of those most affected by the resolution of the problem, the citizens of the city.
