Organization and Management of Household Solid Waste in Brack Alshatti City and its Environs

Abstract

Dealing with solid waste is considered one of the important matters in civilized societies, and the main factor in environmental development, and we must use and consume these materials optimally. The research aims to analyze the reality of the situation of household solid waste in the southern Libyan city of Brack Alshatti as a research example, where we calculated the quantities of waste produced daily, the place of its collection, and how to deal with it currently. And to study how to solve this problem according to the engineering and environmental parties that work to improve the current reality, health and correct treatment. Therefore, a questionnaire was implemented that included 168 families randomly from the study areas (Al-Zawiya - Zalwaz - Al-Afiya - Al-Zawiya). It included many questions, as shown later in the research, with the aim of Determine the method of solving this problem, both physically and engineeringly, through the work of an integrated administrative organization to find the solution to the problem of waste accumulation and how to sort it from the source and transport it to the final collection place. The research included calculating the quantities of waste collected daily according to the number of residents, determining the daily production of waste for the individual and family, and calculating thenumber of machines and labor needed to implement it. The program and all the necessary accompanying matters to reach an acceptable solution, and taking into account the population increase, I took the city of Brack Alshatti and its environs as an example that fulfills the requirements of the imposed research and is generalizable to other regions. Taking into account the experiences carried out in this field from the reality of the Libyan situation and outside of Libya. Interest in recycling, making energy from waste, and the importance of waste in the field of energy.
