“…The urban wastes can differ in origin and changes due to the different style of life, conditioning the composition, and the total amount of wastes. The composition of waste in landfills could differ due to the joint storage of industrial and domestic waste containing toxic elements [45]. Moreover, the composition of MSW can be different considering the seasons of the year and seasonal impacts should be taken into consideration when dealing with MSW [46].…”

“…The heavy metal pollution of surface soil horizons is characteristic for the sites of solid waste storage and their impact zones irrespectively of climatic conditions, ways of waste management, and stages of the life cycle [45]. At the same time, heavy metals accumulate in ruderal herbaceous plants [45]. However, soil moisture, irrigation, and climate conditions (rain) can affect the mobility and displacement of pollutants to surface water and groundwater and favor their presence in the root environment.…”

The European Union (EU) is one of the major producers of municipal solid wastes and has a common policy based on circular economy to reuse the wastes. However, there are differences between countries and the methods for disposal and treatments. Municipal solid waste (MSW) can be composted and recycled as a source of plant nutrients and improves soil properties. This chapter analyzed the production in the EU and the effects on plant nutrients and environmental pollutants when MSW is added to the soil. The origin of the waste and the compost-like output (CLO) derived is important to determine the expectative of nutrient availability and other possible risks. MSW is so heterogeneous, but after a good pretreatment, an organic-rich matter mix can be composted giving a stabilized organic matter. The addition of the CLO to the soils can improve the nutrient status and favor the bioavailability of nutrients (macronutrients and micronutrients). In general, an increment of N and P was found in the soils. Moreover, important micronutrient availability (Fe, Mn, Cu, and Zn) has been described. However, the presence of pollutants and their mobility should be considered as an environmental risk.

“…Prior to the 21 st century, the entire procedure of municipal waste disposal involved dumping of unnecessary materials into a landfill. People did not think about the harm done to the environment [2][3]. In recent decades, residents of the Russian Federation discovered there is too much space used for dumps, and that the garbage does not completely decompose [4].…”

Method of transforming unauthorized dump into municipal solid waste landfill

We resolved the issue of eliminating unauthorized dumps of municipal solid waste (MSW). The MSW placement problem attracts special attention of the urban residents in the Russian Federation. However, the number of unauthorized MSW dumps in our country continues to increase. The accumulation of municipal waste in certain localities of urbanized centers, as well as in unauthorized dumps near residential areas is a serious problem for the environment and human health. MSW decomposition products lead to chemical, physical, and biological pollution of the lithosphere, hydrosphere and atmosphere. It is difficult to eliminate unauthorized dumps of municipal solid waste, since it is virtually impossible to have advance knowledge about the places of their formation. The objects of our investigation were MSW dumps. We conducted laboratory studies on the composition of wastewaters from the areas of unauthorized dumps within Saratov region, and discovered that precipitation-generated runoff from unauthorized dumps contained manifold excesses of toxic pollutants (heavy metals, organic matter, etc.). We proposed an original method for converting unauthorized dumps of solid household waste into the MSW landfills. The method includes two components: vertical planning of previously formed dump volume and annular surrounding drainage of the open type. The drainage ditch is connected to the water-collecting well, which is linked to the water storage tank joined, in its turn, to the water treatment plant.

The article provides data on forecasting the composition of municipal solid waste (MSW) in the city of Moscow (Russia). The paper proposes a methodology for predicting the morphological composition of MSW and checks its operability. It was found that using the regression equations it is possible to fairly reliably (with an error within 5%) predict the composition of the main fractions of MSW (food waste, polymers, paper, screenings, etc.), however, it is almost impossible to predict the particle size distribution in this way, since it depends on changes consumer pReferences and should be evaluated in an expert way.
