No non-recyclable waste having calorific value of 1500 K/cal/kg or more shall be disposed of in the landfills. That waste disposal can either be utilized for generating energy or can be used for preparing refuse derived fuel. It can also be used for co-processing in cement or thermal power plants in India. As per the new rules, the landfill site should be 100 metres away from a river, 200 metres from a pond, 500 metres away from habitations, highways, public parks and water supply wells and 20 km away from airports/airbase.

Waste disposal Processing and Waste Treatment Guidelines 
The new rules advise that the biodegradable waste should be processed, treated and waste disposal through composting or bio-methanation within the premises as far as possible and the residual solid waste shall be given to the waste disposal collectors or agency as directed by the local authority. The developers of industrial estate, Special Economic Zone, industrial park will also have to earmark at least 5 percent of the total area of the plot or minimum 5 plots/ sheds for recovery and recycling facility.The rules have also mandated bio‐remediation or capping of old and abandoned waste dump sites within five years.

Trash disposal, also known as waste collection, waste processing, and waste recycling or depositing. The source and composition of waste are categorized. Waste materials can generally be categorized as either liquid or solid, and its constituent parts can either be dangerous or inert in terms of how they affect human health and the environment. Solid waste, wastewater, hazardous waste, and electronic trash are all commonly referred to as waste.

Municipal liquid waste is routed through the sewage systems in developed nations, where it is treated as sewage or wastewater. Before wastewater, or sewage, can enter groundwater aquifers or surface waters such as the  rivers, lakes, estuaries, and seas, this process eliminates the majority or all of the contaminants from the wastewater.

Significant volumes of materials and waste are produced by office buildings, schools, retail establishments, hotels, restaurants, and other commercial and institutional facilities. Here are some of the tools and resources to aid facility managers, building owners, tenants, and other interested parties in enhancing sustainability while also improving waste management in their buildings.

Municipal solid waste (MSW), sometimes known as refuse, is nonhazardous solid waste that must be collected and transported to a processing or disposal location. Garbage and waste are included in refuse. Decomposing food waste makes up the majority of trash, which also consists primarily of dry materials like glass, paper, cloth, or wood. Unlike junk, garbage is easily putrescence or de-composable. Bulky things like couches, old refrigerators, big tree trunks, and building and demolition detritus ( like wood, drywall, bricks, concrete) are all considered trash.

Hazardous waste is defined as solid or liquid waste that poses a risk to the environment or public health. Materials that are poisonous, reactive, ignitable, corrosive, infectious, or radioactive are considered hazardous wastes. Chemical waste from industrial, chemical, or biological processes that might harm or kill when consumed or absorbed through the skin is referred to as toxic waste. Reactive wastes react aggressively or explosively with air or water because they are chemically unstable. Materials that could contain infections include infectious wastes (such as old bandages, hypodermic needles, and other items from hospitals and research institutes). radioactive wastes, such as old fuel rods from nuclear power plants that contain fissionable materials and cobalt and iodine isotopes used to cure cancer and other health ailments

Depending on the material, processing, storing, and disposal of hazardous wastes present unique issues.


Electronic wastes : 


Electronic garbage, often known as e-waste, is electronic equipment that has lost its value to consumers or that no longer serves its original purpose due to replacement, breakdown, or redundancy. Both "white goods" like refrigerators, washing machines, and microwave ovens as well as "brown goods" like televisions, radios, computers, and cell phones are considered to be electronic waste. E-waste is distinct from regular municipal rubbish. Despite the fact that e-waste contains complex mixtures of highly dangerous compounds that should be considered as hazardous materials when disposed of (such as lead and cadmium in computers and mobile phones), it also contains nonrecyclable materials. In addition to recyclable components (such plastic and copper) that can be used to create new electronic products, electronic gadgets also contain recoverable pieces made of gold, silver, platinum, and other valuable materials.


Sanitary Landfills :


Heavy equipment (such as bulldozers) is used to quickly compact waste after it is dumped in thin layers (up to one metre, or three feet) so that a trash cell is formed (up to 3 metres, or 10 feet, thick). The compacted garbage cell is covered with a layer of compacted earth at the end of each day to keep odours and windblown debris at bay. To avoid groundwater or air pollution, all modern landfill sites are carefully chosen and prepared (such as by being sealed with impermeable synthetic bottom liners). After construction is finished, the landfill is covered with a clay or synthetic liner to keep water out. To reclaim formerly unusable ground, a final dirt layer is applied, compacted, and graded, and various types of vegetation may be planted, for example, to fill declivities to levels appropriate for creating parks, golf courses, or other suitable public projects.

Guidelines for Municipal authorities All local bodies are required to set up a few by-laws regarding waste disposal management, segregation of waste within their society. They are also required to set up a system in place so that the process of waste disposal segregation can be followed smoothly by all waste generators. They are also required to promote the idea of composting, waste segregation and waste management through different educational campaigns. For these composting processes we can use sustainable compost.
