Most the generated MSW are disposed in landfill which is kind of wasting a recyclables resources and losses of its energy content, in addition of the adverse impact of this practices on the environment as a result of ground water pollution and gaseous emissions which cause the global warming problem.
Possible Waste Management Options : Waste Minimization Material Recycling Waste Processing (Resource Recovery) Waste Transformation Sanitary Land filling.
Processing / Treatment should be : Technically sound Financially viable Eco-friendly / Environmental friendly Easy to operate & maintain by local community Long term sustainability
The main component of landfill gas are methane and carbon dioxide. Both components contribute significantly to the greenhouse effect and are chiefly responsible for global temperature rise.
RECOMMENDED APPROACHES TO WASTE MANAGEMENT

Waste disposal technology improves over time as a result of :- Higher awareness of environmental, safety and health impacts More stringent requirement for compliance with emission
standards Land scarcity Drawing the most efficient recovery of energy from wastes Not least, escalating fuel prices which makes fossil fuel more
expensive for power generation Competitive cost of technology over time
Progress of Technology for Waste Destruction (Non-recyclable MSW)
1 ton of solid waste generate 200 – 300 m3 of landfill gas
1 m3 of landfill gas contains 0.5 m3 of natural gas which could be used as a fuel to generate 5 kWh energy.
1 ton of CH4 after combustion will generate 24 ton of CO2

Flue Gas Pollutants Particulates Acid Gases NOx
CO Organic Hazardous Air Pollutants Metal Hazardous Air Pollutants
Particulates Solid Condensable Causes Too low of a comb (incomplete comb) Insufficient oxygen or overabundant EA
(too high T) Insufficient mixing or residence time Too much turbulence, entrainment of
particulates Control
1) Cyclones - not effective for removal of small particulates
2) Electrostatic precipitator 3) Fabric Filters (baghouses)
Metals Removed with particulates Mercury remains volatilized Tough to remove from flue gas Remove source or use activated carbon (along with dioxins)

technology for MSW conversion with realized improvements in emissions
• Gasification and Pyrolysis systems now in commercial scale operation but industry still emerging
• Advanced Thermal Gasification System is Clean Development Mechanism under Kyoto Protocol. Capable for qualification as CDM project, i.e., reduction of emission of methane typically from landfills and reduction of CO2 emission from avoidance of use of fossil fuels for power generation.
• Improved environmental data needed on operating systems
• Comprehensive environmental or life cycle assessments should be completed
