Local scenario
• Over the past 10 years, generation of Malaysia MSW has
increased more than 91% [8].
• In 2001, estimated 5.475 million tons of solid waste
generated which is about 0.81 kg/capita/day [9] while in
main cities, the figure escalated to 1.7 kg/capita/day[10].
• The highest average generation rate per capita of MSW was
reported in Penang at 1.1 kg/capita/day [11]. A report found
that about 7.34 million tons of solid wastes were generated in
Penang on 2006, enough to fill up 42 buildings [6].
Global Scenario
• Current global MSW generation levels are
approximately 1.3 billion tonnes per year, and are
expected to increase to approximately 2.2 billion
tonnes per year by 2025.
• This represents a significant increase in per capita
waste generation rates, from 1.2 to 1.42 kg per
person per day in the next fifteen years.

SW characteristics
• Putrescible waste – animal and vegetable waste
resulting from food prep. This type of waste
decomposes rapidly and may quickly produce bad
smell.
• Municipal solid waste – common garbage i.e.
durable/non-durable goods, containers, packaging,
food wastes, yard trimmings, organic wastes etc.
In-class Example
Solution:
• Given:
Population = 253,000
MSW = 2180 ton · wk-1
325 trucks · wk-1
2 loads · truck-1 · d-1
Truck capacity = 4.5 ton
Operation = 5 d · wk-1

Density for
Loose combustible solid waste = 115 kg.m3
Collected solid waste = 180-450 kg.m3
Compacted solid waste (landfill) = 350-500 kg.m3
Well compacted solid waste = 600-750 kg.m3

SOLID WASTE REDUCTION
• Combustion - Excess oxygen
• Pyrolysis - Inert
• Gasification - Partial combustion, O2 below
stoichiometric requirement
Sanitary Landfill Disposal
Land disposal method that practice
appropriate engineering techniques and waste
management system in minimizing
environmental hazards by spreading the waste
to the smallest practical volume, and applying
and compacting cover material on daily based
operation.
SLD Operation
• Area method operation
• 3-step process:
• Spreading the waste
• Compacting
• Covering
Regulations for Landfill Disposal
• Environmental Quality (Control of Pollution From Solid Waste Transfer
Station And Landfill) Regulations 2009
• Solid Waste and Public Cleansing Management Act 2007
• Consists of
• Surface layer
• To provide suitable soil for plants to grow
• Biotic barrier
• to prevent roots of plants from penetrating the hydraulic barrier
• Drainage layer
• Serves as a leachate collection system, channelling leachate to a
grid of perforated pipes
• Consists of
• Hydraulic barrier
• To prevent the movement of water from the landfill
• Foundation layer
• To support the landfill and protect the geomembrane
liner from the rough aggregate used in the gas control
layer
• Gas control
• Serves as a gas collection system, channelling gases to a
grid of perforated pipes and to the surface of the landfill
• Post-closure
• Require maintenance
• Because of uneven settling
• Maintaining good drainage
• Uses
• Recreational purposes (parks, playgrounds, golf courses)
• Parking lots and storage areas
• Avoid
• Construction on buildings because of uneven settling and
gas evolution.
