The complete integrated MSW management system
includes:
(i) Waste selection
(ii) Material recovery facilities
(iii) Incineration and energy recovery
(iv) Biological treatment of organic waste
(v) Landfill of final inert waste
Notice that the landfill is still the final destination of final
remaining product of any MSW management method. Instead
of regular waste to be filled, the remaining product of MSW is
only inert wastes which produce no odor and require small
space. Thus, the life time of landfill can be extended.
