Exercise Topic 1
1) Can you think of any non-putrescible wastes that cause environmental
problems in your community?
2) Which of the following statements is false? In each case, say why it is
incorrect.
A Recycling is the best approach to solid waste management.
B Composting is an aerobic decomposition process for converting organic
solid waste into useful compost.
C Reusing plastic water bottles is an example of waste recovery.
D Controlled tipping is so called because only a limited quantity of waste can
be tipped at any one time.
3) List the functional elements of solid waste management. Which of these are
relevant to rural settings? Explain why these are relevant but the others are
not.
4) Briefly describe the preparation of compost.
Answer
1) Plastic bags are commonly known as festal. They are mostly used to carry
goods because they are convenient, cheap and easy to use. Plastic bags are
usually non-biodegradable and persist for a very long time. But, it can pollute
the land surface and also prevent rainwater from percolating into the soil.
Besides that, it can cause nuisance conditions. It can also be easily
swallowed by animal by blocking their digestive system. In vector-borne prone
areas the plastic also create breeding places for mosquitoes.
2) A is false. Recycling is a good method of waste management but reducing the
amount of waste produced is preferred.
B is true. Composting of solid waste is an aerobic decomposition process that
produces compost.
C is false. Waste recovery means that something useful is recovered from the
waste and also reuse of waste simply means using the item again.
D is false. Controlled tipping is called controlled because the waste is
regularly covered with soil.

3) The functional elements of waste management are onsite handling, storage


and processing; collection; transfer and transport; resource recovery and
processing; and disposal. In most waste in rural areas is organic and there is
plenty of space. Onsite handling, resource recovery in the form of recycling or
composting and final disposal are found in rural areas.
4) Compost can be made from household kitchen food waste, leaves, grass,
kitchen waste, and any other organic biodegradable material. The
compostable waste must be separated out so it contains no plastic or metal. It
needs a little water and it should be turned over regularly to provide air for the
composting organisms. The resulting compost should be like soil and have a
good smell.
