IMPORTANT INTEGRATED STRATEGIES DESCRIBED IN THE DATA BASE
The computerized data base also allows the user to analyze the effects of combining composting with any other technologies in an integrated MSW management strategy. Calculations for the following integrated strategies that include composting have already been performed and are included in the data base:
- Collection and transportation of MSW in a packer truck, plus collection and transportation of curbside-separated recyclables in a multi-compartment truck, plus MRF operations and remanufacturing, plus on-site RDF preparation and metal recovery, plus composting of RDF, plus landfilling RDF rejects (Strategy 9 in Table 1.1)
- Collection and transportation of MSW in a packer truck, plus collection and transportation of curbside-separated recyclables in a multi-compartment truck, plus collection and transportation of curbside-separated yard waste in a packer truck, plus MRF operations and remanufacturing, plus yard waste composting, plus landfilling the remaining MSW (Strategy 10 in Table 1.1)
- Collection and transportation of MSW in a packer truck, plus collection and transportation of curbside-separated recyclables in a multi-compartment truck, plus collection and transportation of curbside-separated yard waste in a packer truck, plus MRF operations and remanufacturing, plus yard waste composting, plus mass burning of the remaining MSW, plus landfilling the ash in a monofill (Strategy 11 in Table 1.1).
Strategy 9 includes composting of RDF instead of yard waste.
