MUNICIPAL SOLID WASTE MODEL DEVELOPMENT THROUGHBINARY CODING

Das Lalit, Das Adyasha and Mishra Sitikantha

Abstract

Municipal Solid Waste management involves many stages like Generation, Source storage, Collection,Storage, Transportation, Processing and Disposal. Further, Municipal Solid Waste management can bedivided into two major components, i.e. Collection and Transportation Plan and the Disposal Plan. Inorder to account for all possible combinations, a Binary coding approach has been suggested. To focus onthe best process there is a need to develop a generic model. Different Models have been attempted with allpossible combinations of activities of Solid Waste Management. The process of elimination was carried outthrough the application of two/ two analytical matrix. The final model was narrowed down for the bestCollection and Transportation (CaT) plan and Disposal Plan by the process of elimination with the help oftwo/ two analytical matrix. The combination of CaT plan and disposal plan need to be subjected to theground realities for sustainability. The prevailing Government Rules and regulatory compliance checkscan further give a direction for the most feasible MSW Model typical models could be generated by takingdifferent possible combinations.
