Definition of Terms
Waste Generation
Those activities in which materials are identified as no
longer being of value and are either thrown away or
gathered together for disposal.
Generation Rate of Municipal Solid Waste
Solid waste generation rates estimate the amount of waste
created by residences or businesses over a certain amount of
time (day, year, etc.).
Waste generation includes all materials discarded, whether or
not they are later recycled or disposed in a landfill.
Waste generation rates for residential and commercial
activities can be used to estimate the impact of new
developments on the local waste stream.
They may be useful in providing a general level of information
for planning purposes.

Recycling
Recycling refers to the
collection and refuse of waste
materials such as empty
beverage container.
The materials from which the
items are made can be
processed into new products.
Materials for recycling may be
collected separately from
general waste using dedicated
bins.
Compaction
Incineration
it is a disposal
method in which solid
organic wastes are
subjected to
combustion so as to
convert them into
residue and gaseous
products.
This process reduces
the volumes of solid
waste to 20-30% of
the original volume.
Also described as
thermal treatment
Composting
Method of combined disposal of refuse and night
soil/ sludge
Principal by products are: CO2 , Water and heat
End product- compost
