ABSTRACT
Urban solid waste management is a serious environmental issue confronting the cities in developing countries like Bangladesh. Apathy towards the problem, inadequacy of field level information and data, and resource constraints may be blamed for the dismal situation of solid waste management often visible in our cities. The most common problems associated with the absence of sustainable solid waste management practice include diseases transmission, odour nuisance, atmospheric and water pollution, visual blight, fire hazards and economic losses. In the three major cities of Bangladesh, Dhaka, Chittagong & Khulna, per capita production of solid waste is around 0.4kg /capita / day, but only a fraction of this waste is carried to the final disposal site. A recent study on Municipal Solid Waste Management, funded by Bangladesh Municipal Development Fund (BMDF), found that waste generated in Chittagong was 0.352kg/cap/day. Considering per capita generation of solid waste as 0.352kg to 0.4kg per capita per day, for a population of 25, 92,459 distributed within the 41 wards of the city (BBS 2011), total solid waste generated in Chittagong will be around 913 tons to 1037 tons per day in 2012.
Currently, Chittagong City Corporation has only two dumping yards: one at Ananda Bazar, Halishahar at the mid western part of the city and the other at Arefin Nagar, Pahartali at the northern tip of the city. None of these sites are sanitary landfill. Considering the city area of 168 sq.kms, only two dumping sites are not sufficient to cater to the requirement of the city. Long distances between the collection points and the disposal site are responsible for inefficient utilization of the CCC trucks and the resulting increase in the haulage time that eventually increases the costs of collection and disposal.
This paper aims to identify a number of appropriate landfill sites within the city for cost effective, efficient and safe disposal of solid wastes. An appropriate landfill site must satisfy environmental safety criteria and attributes that will enable the wastes to be isolated so that there is no risk to people and the environment. The criteria utilized for identifying appropriate landfill locations include natural physical characteristics as well as socioeconomic, ecological, engineering and land-use parameters. This study utilized Geographic Information System (GIS) and Multi-Criteria Decision Method (MCDM) for the identification and selection of appropriate landfill sites within the city of Chittagong. Thirteen sites were identified initially. Out of these sites four were found to be most appropriate and suitable for use as landfill. The sites thus identified, if utilized by CCC, are expected to bring a major change, in terms of cost effectiveness, efficiency and safety, in the current scenario of solid waste management in the city.2015 ISOSWO APWA Spring Conference: Landfill Fires 3

The Grady Rd. Landfill receives around 1200 tons of waste per day from various sources like restaurants, schools, and construction sites. The waste consists primarily of municipal solid waste (85%) along with some construction and demolition debris (10%) and special wastes (5%). At this landfill, the waste is not separated and is processed using equipment like evacuators, compactors, and bulldozers. The landfill structure involves filling the site in phases with double covers to prevent erosion and contamination of the surrounding area. Water monitoring of the leachate is conducted through groundwater wells and testing every 3 months.Landfill Issues

Modern Landfill located at 4400 Mt. Pigsah Rd. in York, PA manages waste disposal through landfilling. While landfilling provides economic benefits, older unlined landfills have caused pollution issues. However, modern landfills are built with liners and systems to collect and treat leachate and gas to prevent pollution. Methane gas collected at landfills can also be used to generate renewable energy. While landfilling has downsides like odor and wildlife issues, proper management of modern lined facilities can safely contain waste.Landfill leachate treatment practical case

A landfill is a carefully designed structure built into or on top of the ground for collecting garbage. Garbage is isolated from the environment by a bottom liner and daily soil coverings. Landfills can cause environmental impacts like pollution, methane gas emissions, and toxic leachate. Methane is a potent greenhouse gas and leachate is a highly toxic liquid that contains organic waste and can contaminate land and water sources. While landfills have negative environmental effects, they remain an important part of waste management infrastructure for dealing with non-recyclable materials.Design & construction of secure waste landfill

We only have finite resources on our planet and humans create products that do not break down, causing environmental problems. Benefit corporations pursue positive social and environmental impacts over profit maximization. Free workshops help unemployed start small businesses. Recycling our waste, making new things from it, and buying recycled products can help close the materials loop. However, plastic recycling rates remain low despite the large quantities of plastic waste generated. Turning waste into new materials like fencing or playground surfacing provides solutions.2 ano paralelo 3 bi

Ecotourism involves visiting fragile, pristine areas intended as a low-impact alternative to mass tourism. It aims to educate travelers and support local communities while respecting different cultures and the environment. Ecotourism focuses on responsible travel, personal growth, and sustainability by visiting places where nature and culture are primary attractions in order to foster environmental appreciation and influence. Responsible ecotourism includes programs that minimize tourism's negative effects on the environment and local cultures, as well as promote recycling, energy efficiency, and local economic opportunities.49-GBR-SDPT Seminar.pptx

The document discusses how to properly manage waste through the 5Rs approach: reduce, reuse, recycle, repair, and recover. It explains that landfills cannot accommodate the amount of waste generated daily, so some waste ends up uncollected and causes pollution. The 5Rs help minimize garbage and avoid pollution. The document provides examples of applying each of the 5Rs, such as using eco bags instead of plastic, reusing items, making new products from scrap materials, fixing broken items, and using waste for energy or fertilizer. It emphasizes that practicing the 5Rs is important for a clean environment.HGP CO2.pptx

The document discusses climate change and provides information to help understand the topic. It defines climate as varying climatic conditions over at least 30-year periods, distinguishing it from weather which fluctuates daily. The climate is changing due to excessive greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuel use since the Industrial Revolution. Various organizations have been monitoring the earth's climate for decades and research confirms rising CO2 levels and temperatures.Pt3/ Form 1-Environment linear text

The speech discusses ways for students to help the environment. It encourages recycling paper and plastic to reduce waste. When plastic is recycled, new items like bottles or carpets can be made from it. The speech also recommends conserving energy by taking shorter showers, turning off lights, and using air conditioning only when needed. Students are told to donate old toys and books instead of throwing them away to help the environment and charities. Cycling is suggested as a way to reduce pollution and stay healthy.Climate change
