An integrated approach to the planning, design, and management of economical and environmentally responsible solid waste disposal system In a world where waste incinerators are not an option and landfills are at over capacity, cities are hard pressed to find a solution to the problem of what to do with their solid waste. Handbook of Solid Waste Management, 2/e offers a solution. This handbook offers an integrated approach to the planning, design, and management of economical and environmentally responsible solid waste disposal system. Let twenty industry and government experts provide you with the tools to design a solid waste management system capable of disposing of waste in a cost-efficient and environmentally responsible manner. Focusing on the six primary functions of an integrated system--source reduction, toxicity reduction, recycling and reuse, composting, waste- to-energy combustion, and landfilling--they explore each technology and examine its problems, costs, and legal and social ramifications. Review: Nice book - I am going to use this book for a CE solid waste class as the text book. It has some deficiencies in that there are no problems in the text. However, since these are seniors and MS students, I will make the class project based and provide sample calculations as examples. I looked at a large number of books and this is the best information compendium I could find. I will also provide the students with a link to several State Design guidances, some like Oregon are really complete. I like this book. Review: One of the best technical references you can get. - Losts of background information about Waste Management overview and a good reference for what works and what really was/is used.
