Municipal solid waste management and feasibility study of composing technology in local government : case study sub-district municipality Suratthani Province
Abstract:
This study was focused on the municipal solid waste management (MSW) of rural community by investigating the waste generation rate and evaluating the MSW produced from Thachi sub-district municipality, Suratthani Province, in order to study the feasibility for use of the composting technology Serial-Self Turning reactors (STR) by characterizing the putrescible waste.Municipal solid waste consists of a high proportion of biodegradable materials especially food waste containing large reserves of nutrients. The composting technology is the option for processing the enormous quantities of biodegradable solid waste, and hence the volume of wastes placed in landfills can be reduced. For implementing the composting, source separated waste should be improved. Municipal solid waste by public participation was undertaken in term of the community-based waste management system. The source separation practice as recycling waste which biodegradable waste was used as a material for composting. The small-scale composting was performed for study with the composite materials between kitchen waste include food and vegetable waste and the bulking agent were collected from the agricultural sectors such as dried leave, yard waste, empty palm fruit bunch and cow manure in order to find the best mixing proportion. After that, the large-scale composting by STR technology was conducted. It was found that the best proportion from small-scale composting is 0.25: 1.0 : 0.5 which the waste combination consists of vegetable waste, cow manure and agricultural waste, respectively. Providing the final product properties of composting contains low nutrients (NPK) that did not meet the criteria of biofertilizer, determined by Department of Agricultural of Thailand
