2. Sustainable Solid Waste Collection and Management
2018 by Ana Pires, Graça Martinho, Susana Rodrigues
This book places a strong emphasis on waste collection and the management of waste streams as essential components of a sustainable waste management approach. Beyond merely discussing waste collection technologies and route design, the authors incorporate economic models and behavioral studies into their analysis. They offer a comprehensive methodology for designing waste collection systems that not only minimize environmental impacts but also prove economically feasible while garnering support and participation from target communities. Part I covers the fundamental principles of waste management, including waste hierarchy, waste reduction, and recycling, while also addressing environmental, social, and economic considerations. Part II delves into tools for the design, operation, and maintenance of waste collection systems. Part III explores how these tools can support sustainability assessments and decisions, considering the entire life cycle of waste and the role of waste collection in waste prevention, reduction, reuse, recycling, treatment, and disposal. Lastly, Part IV tackles the challenges associated with developing sustainable waste management systems and envisions the role of waste collection in future sustainable waste management initiatives.

4. Private Sector Involvement in Urban Solid Waste Collection: UNESCO-IHE PhD Thesis
2011 by Sampson Oduro-Kwarteng
The inclusion of the private sector in public service aims to enhance efficiency and improve service quality by leveraging private sector financing and expertise. In many developing countries, these anticipated benefits are often not realized due to concerns about the investment risks associated with private financing, as well as challenges related to the capacity and regulation of the private sector.

5. Solid Waste Technology and Management
2011 by Thomas Christensen
The comprehensive realm of waste material collection, transportation, and subsequent processing constitutes a multifaceted field encompassing technical, social, legal, economic, environmental, and regulatory dimensions. Conventional waste management practices, including landfilling, biological treatment, incineration, and recycling, each come with their distinct advantages and drawbacks. In the past decade, there has been a notable shift in waste management towards integrated approaches and life-cycle assessment (LCA) to mitigate the environmental concerns associated with landfills. "Solid Waste Technology & Management" consists of two volumes featuring contributions from over seventy globally recognized experts. Endorsed by the International Waste Working Group and the International Solid Waste Association, these volumes delve into various aspects, such as waste generation and characterization, LCA of waste management systems, waste minimization, material recycling, waste collection, mechanical and thermal treatment, biological treatment, landfilling, and the management of special and hazardous waste. This book provides a well-rounded and in-depth exploration of municipal solid waste management, addressing both engineering and managerial aspects while prioritizing a comprehensive life-cycle perspective.

6. Management of Municipal Solid Waste
2006 by T. V. Ramachandra
Solid waste, originating from diverse sectors including agriculture, commerce, households, industries, and institutions, represents material discarded as no longer needed. This surplus of solid waste exerts considerable pressure on natural resources and poses a significant challenge to sustainable and effective development. "Management of Municipal Solid Waste" offers insights into addressing this issue by advocating for the efficient management of solid waste from its inception to its final disposal. The book delves into the intricacies of various processes involved, encompassing waste generation, collection, storage, processing, recovery, transportation, and disposal, and illustrates these concepts through practical case studies. It also underscores the importance of source reduction, aiming to stimulate the adoption of integrated solid waste management systems that not only reduce costs but also safeguard human health and the environment.

7. Modern Technology Of Waste Management: Pollution Control, Recycling, Treatment & Utilization
2003 by NIIR Board
Waste management encompasses the comprehensive process of collecting, transporting, processing, and disposing of waste materials, with the aim of mitigating their adverse effects on health, the environment, and aesthetics. This practice is particularly significant in dealing with materials resulting from human activities, and it seeks to curtail their impact on natural resources. This book delves into waste management in the context of modern technology, pollution control, recycling, treatment, and utilization. As the rapid industrialization of recent decades has led to the depletion and pollution of valuable natural resources in India and worldwide, it has also generated vast quantities of hazardous wastes, exacerbating environmental challenges. This vicious cycle of increasing demands, dwindling resources, and escalating waste generation poses a monumental issue that necessitates immediate attention. Hazardous waste management, a relatively new concept in many Asian countries, including India, is explored in this book. It addresses various aspects, including industrial waste, wastewater technologies, pollution control measures, recycling, and the utilization of waste materials, all within the framework of sustainable socioeconomic development and environmental conservation. The book aspires to provide solutions to these pressing challenges by presenting a compilation of articles contributed by entrepreneurs and specialists in the field of waste management.
