handled. The most common methods of solid waste disposal are open dumps,
drainage, sanitary landfills, ocean dumping, composting, and incineration.
8.6 Waste Disposal Methods
Solid waste management is usually associated with the dumping of garbage in
landfills or incineration. Whereas these activities form an essential aspect of the
process, various elements are involved in creating an optimal integrated solid waste
management system.
What is integrated waste management? What is the difference with other
waste management methods?
For instance, treatment techniques are crucial for reducing the toxicity and
volume of solid waste. These steps could change into a more convenient disposal
form. Ideally, methods of waste treatment and disposal are chosen based on the
composition, form, as well as the number of waste materials (Menikpura et al. 2013).
The major methods used for waste treatment and disposals are discussed below:
8.6.1 Thermal Treatment
Thermal treatment is a type of waste treatment technology that involves high temperatures in the processing of waste materials using techniques such as incineration,
gasification and pyrolysis, open burning and dumps, and landfills.
