“…For the benefit affects of the larger quantity of collected waste metal about -982.1 Mg, glass about 65.7 Mg and plastics -11.6 Mg. Glass as a material has a very good properties (stable, effective, and reuse and recycling of materials, made from inorganic materials, so there is no negative impact on the environment, cheap raw materials) [18]. Table 3 of processing waste from separate collection in Norway amounted to an average of 68% [19] and in Turkey less than 5% [20]. .…”

“…The proper sustainable solid wastes management in rural areas, supported by the financial sustainability, inclusivity, coherent institutions and proactive public policies may minimize the negative ecologic and environmental effects of wastes generation, transport, treatment and final disposal, also supporting the social and economic pillars of sustainability [5,6]. The final steps of the sustainable waste management are landfilling of residual waste (waste after reducing the volume and quantity, unable to be processed by any other measures) as well as aftercare and reclamation of closed landfills [4,[7][8][9][10].…”

Clays of Different Plasticity as Materials for Landfill Liners in Rural Systems of Sustainable Waste Management

This paper presents a study assessing the possible application of seven clay substrates of various particle compositions and plasticity, sampled locally in rural regions, as materials allowing affordable construction of the waste landfill liners, which meet the main principles of sustainability, utilize locally available materials and limit the environmental threats posed by landfill leachate to water, public health and arable land. The researched substrates were tested according to their long-term sealing properties by their saturated hydraulic conductivity after compaction, swelling and shrinkage characteristics and ability to sustain their sealing capability after repeated drying and rewetting. The basic characteristics of soils were determined by the standard methods. Saturated hydraulic conductivity after compaction and after repeated shrinking and swelling were tested in laboratory falling head permeameters. Shrinkage characteristics were based on dimensionless indicators of the geometry and linear extensibility. The obtained results showed that the tested clay substrates were found applicable to construction of compacted clay liner for sustainable waste landfill. The environmental sustainability of a local, rural waste landfill, isolated by compacted earthen liners utilizing local materials is, in our opinion possible, but strongly related to the compaction parameters applied during liner construction for the given clay substrate.

“…With representative samples from 160 municipalities, it was estimated that 0.87 kg/ capita/day of waste was generated in Serbia, which amounted to 318 t/day [1]. By comparison, waste generation in Turkey (Kocaeli) is 0.92 kg/capita/day, in Austria (Vienna) 1.50 kg/capita/day, and in the USA (New York) it is 2.58 kg/capita/day [2]. The number of landfi ll fi res in Nišava County, which comprises 71 settlements and more than 260,000 residents, is highly signifi cant, as indicated by the statistical data of the Sector for Emergency Management, Niš offi ce, for the period between 2009 and 2016, according to which 7.56% of all open-space fi res [3] and 5.60% of all fi res in total were landfi ll fi res.…”

The last and the only national-level data on waste composition and amount in Serbia dates back to 2010, when the Serbian Government adopted a waste management strategy from 2010 to 2019. With representative samples from 160 municipalities, it was estimated that 0.87 kg/ capita/day of waste was generated in Serbia, which amounted to 318 t/day [1]. By comparison, waste generation in Turkey (Kocaeli) is 0.92 kg/capita/day, in Austria (Vienna) 1.50 kg/capita/day, and in the USA (New York) it is 2.58 kg/capita/day [2]. The number of landfi ll fi res in Nišava County, which comprises 71 settlements and more than 260,000 residents, is highly signifi cant, as indicated by the statistical data of the Sector for Emergency Management, Niš offi ce, for the period between 2009 and 2016, according to which 7.56% of all open-space fi res [3] and 5.60% of all fi res in total were landfi ll fi res. Over the last seven years, out of 7,535 openspace fi res, 570 occurred in sanitary, non-sanitary, and illegal landfi lls. The numbers of landfi ll fi res in Nišava County by year are given in Table 1. According to these numbers, it is evident that the number of fi res has been declining in recent years as a result of improved landfi ll fi re prevention, implementation, and adherence to laws, analyses of previous fi res, learning from previous experience, better citizen cooperation, etc. As opposed to surface fi res, which are instantly noticeable, underground landfi ll fi res occur under the Pol. J. Environ. Stud. Vol. 27, No. 1 (2018) AbstractSince the identifi cation of fi re hazards in landfi lls has not been suffi ciently investigated and studied, the goal of this research is to present a methodological approach to the issue. This paper defi nes fi re occurrence indicators, which are considered as one of the risk factors of underground and/or surface fi res in non-sanitary landfi lls. In this study, fi re hazards are identifi ed in terms of present landfi ll gas concentrations and gas well temperatures monitored by a thermal imaging camera at the nonsanitary landfi ll "Bubanj" in Niš, Serbia, which has been in service for 49 years. Landfi ll gas concentrations at the landfi ll were measured from May to October 2015. The paper also presents ambient air temperatures, which infl uence landfi ll gas and gas well temperatures, a necessary factor of landfi ll fi res.Signifi cant fi re predictors for the landfi ll body have been determined based on all the temperatures and concentrations of landfi ll gas components measured using the statistical method of logistic regression.
