Solid wastes management,
Biogas and compost generated from organic
Waste at Al-Akaider landfill in Jordan.
Abstract
Jordan has been facing a wide variety of sudden changes in
humanitarian issues (population growth,
industrialization rapid, urbanization process, influx of
refugees to Jordan etc.). These unexpected changes
forced people to make quick reactions to adapt and
settle which resulted in further generation of solid
waste which normally was dumped in landfills and
caused contamination of soil, water and air. Solid
Waste Management (SWM) has been an integral part
of every human society. Improper SWM accelerates
natural resources degradation and has a great impact
on climate change and the quality of life of citizens.
Hence, in this paper, we highlight the environmental
and health problems of the Al-Akaider landfill in
Jordan. We propose a multi-pronged integrated
approach to improve solid waste management at the Al
Ekaider landfill. In keeping with this approach, a
general action plan has been proposed that could be
tailored to recycle Organic Waste (OW) to produce
biogas and compost..
