SCIE210 Individual Project Week 4
Background: Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) is all of the garbage, refuse, trash or junk that gets thrown away from our homes or small businesses. All of this MSW is collected and taken away. Have you wondered where it goes? In the 1950’s and 60’s it went to open dumps. In the 1970’s landfills were established but there were problems, and today there is new legislation and technology to better manage this waste. For this assignment, you will review the history of MSW. • Describe an open dump. Explain the environmental problems. • Describe an early landfill. What are the problems associated with early landfills? Include a discussion of leachate, methane, incomplete decomposition and settling. • Describe a modern landfill. What are the differences as compared to early landfills?
