Question: Develop a Municipal Solid Waste Management Plan ( MSWMP ) for the City of CLEAN, California to achieve a 9 0 % solid waste landfill

Develop a Municipal Solid Waste Management Plan (MSWMP) for the City of CLEAN, California to achieve a 90% solid waste
landfill diversion rate by the end of Year 2030 from the current 75% solid waste landfill diversion rate. The MSWMP is a
planning document for next 20 years and MUST clearly describe your proposed MSW management strategy to achieve the 90%
MSW diversion from landfills
You are employed at Solid Waste Engineering, Inc. (SWEI), in California as a Senior Environmental Engineer. SWEI recently won
a $1,000,000 contract with the City of CLEAN to develop the MSWMP within 2 years.
The City of Clean is located in a remote forest/mountain landscape and consists of mostly residential housing with a little bit of commercial logging and mining operations. The town also has seasonal tourists that go on hiking, hunting, and fishing expeditions in the warmer months. The population of the town is approximately 11,000 people and is serviced by one landfill.
Our Starting point:
Paper : 20%
Glass : 4%
MEtal : 5%
Electronics : 1%
Plastic : 11%
Organics : 41%
Inerts : 7%
Household hazardous waste : 1%
Special Waste : 2%
Mixed residue : 100%
Future: We predict to have an decrease in paper and plastic waste stream and an increase in Organics and metals
What are some Feasible Solid Waste Composting Options and Reuse and Recycling Options? As well as the Feasibility of Waste to- Energy (Mass Burning)?
