ABSTRACT
In developing countries, the solid management is critical issue and due to lack of resources, it is neglected area. Most of the times the solid waste is dumped in the open areas without proper treatment which is creating whole lot of useless landfills results in the waste of useful land and also creating health and environmental issues. In current study solid waste categorization is performed along with measurement of waste generation and future requirement of landfills to dump the waste. This study has analyzed the generation and features of solid waste in the Peshawar city, The city of Peshawar is inhabited by 4,269,079 people according to 2017 census and that makes Peshawar a very densely populated city with a density of 3400 people per square kilometer. Sampling technique is used to collect the samples from landfills. Average daily number of waste disposal at the landfill area is measured by manually weighting the waste from each disposing vehicle. The results shows that total 752.66 tons of waste is disposed in the landfills in all 4 zones of Peshawar, where zones A, B, C and D contributes 26%, 44%, 20% and 10% respectively. The different types of waste are polyethylene, Paper, glass, bottles and organic waste contributing 30%, 7%, 1%, 2% and 30%. Also per capita waste is 0.000388746tons with the expected increase of 2.6% per year. The average landfill height of water and sanitation services Peshawar is 35.65m and for collection efficiency of 50% the landfilling area required according to the above formulae is 0.778842 Acres. For collection efficiency of 75% the landfilling area required is calculated 1.1683 Acres.
