Municipal Solid Waste Segregation Plant

Municipal solid waste (MSW) includes all items from homes and businesses that people no longer have any use for. These wastes are commonly called trash or garbage and include items such as food, paper, plastics, textiles, leather, wood, glass, metals, sanitary waste in septic tanks, and other wastes. Segregation refers to the process of separation of municipal solid waste into four groups i.e., organic, inorganic, recyclables and hazardous wastes. It is a critical requirement since it enables recycling, reuse, treatment and scientific disposal of different components of waste.
