Answer 2

The concept of Waste Management or Integrated Waste Management looks at all areas of Solid Waste Management from generation, to collection, to disposal and beyond.

The entire system looks first at how much and the types of waste being generated. This will determine the method(s) you use for collection. Do you have population density to make curbside collection energy and cost efficient? Do you have land available to set up small, self-service disposal areas? While determining this, you also need to look at available disposal capacity.

What type of disposal do you have? Is there a sanitary landfill available for your use? Do you have a waste to energy facility? A co-composting facility (trash & sludge, composted together)? If none of these exist locally, do you have a facility to transfer the waste your population is producing to one of these types of facilities in another area (transfer station)?

The final component is planning for the future. Are you in a high growth area? Will you need to expand your facilities at some point? Or build new ones? Will you need to provide for future capacity down the line? These are the types of planning questions that solid waste managers have to ask.

This is a BRIEF description of waste management. There are some major parts that are included throughout the process like recycling (to reduce the amount of waste) and household hazardous waste programs (to reduce the toxicity of waste). These processes have their own planning and design attached to them.

Hope this helps!
