Drainage and liquid collection systems are components of fundamental importance in landfills and waste disposal areas. Sand, gravels and geosynthetics are materials commonly used as filters and draining media in landfill drainage systems. However, the waste itself contains elements that could be employed as drainage material. This paper presents an …

The mechanical-biological pre-treatment of wastes has far-reaching effects on the construction and operation of landfills. The emplacement and storage behaviour of the mechanical-biological pre-treated waste (MBW) in the landfill will fundamentally different itself in many areas from the experiences which have been gained in the past with the operation of …

The objective of the present work is to present a physical characterization of the polymeric wastes conducted in the conventional collection of the municipality of São Carlos, SP. The method adopted for physical characterization was by sampling, where the number of samples involved all of the sections, with the weight …

Despite the fact that Mexico has taken greater steps into improving its waste management, many of its smaller communities still face severe challenges associated with the collection and disposal of waste. In the state of Morelos, the number of problems related to waste is increasing as the population’s density and …

This paper investigates the effects of local socio-economic factors on the adoption of various waste management technologies in the Philippines and Vietnam. Three sets of factors have been selected. The first set of factors includes the economic situation of the community: income, unemployment, and the housing density. The second set …

With the aim of reducing Greenhouse gases emissions and in general environmental impact of landfills, scientific research has been concentrated, since several years, on monitoring and control of non-collected emissions of landfill gas, since these are the main responsible for the landfill environmental load. With reference to these issues, the …
