Key activities in ecological solid waste management (ESWM)
Compostable waste
Biodegradable materials (food waste, garden waste)
Recyclable waste
Materials that can be reprocessed, such as paper, plastic, glass, and metals.
Residual waste
Non-recyclable and non-compostable waste, such as contaminated plastics and used
sanitary items.
Special wastes
Hazardous or toxic waste, including batteries, medical waste, and electronic waste.
- Sort-at-source
- Package properly
- Use, reuse, dispose ecologically.
Three basic steps in ecological waste management
Sort-at-source
Pre-sort wastes into compatible and non-compostable categories.
Food wastes packaged for disposal method (use)
In covered pails/cans and plastic containers.
,Non-compostable materials (reuse)
They can be sold to junk dealers or used in various crafts.
Neurotoxicants
Substances that are toxic to the nervous system, such as lead and mercury.
Teratogens
Substances toxic to pregnant women that can affect fetal development.
Reuse is using material in its original form, while recycling involves breaking
down material to create a new product.
Reuse vs Recycling
Converting waste through incineration to extract energy.
Energy recovery
Yellow
Bin color for infectious waste
Black
Bin color for dry, non-infectious waste
Green
Bin color for wet, non-infectious waste
Orange
Bin color for radioactive waste
- Compostable
- Recyclable
- Residual
- Special waste
Classification of wastes
Avoid needless burning, avoid dumping in open spaces/bodies of water, adopt
total recycling
Dispose ecologically
Factory returnable, feed fertilizer, fuel, fine craft
Total recycling Multi F's
Generates more waste
Does disposal generate more waste or not?
Reduce
Makes less waste in the first place (use fewer packages and resources)
Yes
Can windows of vulnerability also be windows for opportunity?

ANSWER✅✅✅Applicable state and local requirements that exceed the requirements
of this instruction.
What is the significance of the Final Governing Standards (FGS)? -
ANSWER✅✅✅They must be adhered to by personnel conducting activities outside the
continental United States.
What is the classification between non-RMW and RMW critical for? -
ANSWER✅✅✅Proper management of waste.
