“…As reported by Alqader et al [11], the main fraction of GS MSW composition is organic matter (52%), while the other components are paper (11%), metals (3%), glass (3%), and miscellaneous wastes (18%). However, the organic wastes range from 60-70%, according to other studies [10,[12][13].…”

“…The sample size used by these investigators was very small (5 kg of a random sample of 20 kg) in relation to the total amount of waste dumped. AbdAlqader and Hamed [19] stated that in order to study the composition, the minimum weight of the solid waste samples should not be less than 91 kg. Small sample sizes are likely to provide inaccurate results.…”

ABSTRACT:There is a lack of data on the generation and composition of waste in rural areas worldwide. The present study analyzed the composition of solid waste in Al Jabal Al Akhdar, a rural mountain region in the Sultanate of Oman, which is presently experiencing a rapid rate of urbanization due to tourism development. The solid wastes here are generated by the municipality collecting waste from residential, commercial, institutional and recreational areas, the military from a training camp and a few non-governmental private companies from their camps and hotels. The whole load from each of the three sources was manually segregated each month from June 2013 -May 2014. The results indicated that plastic is the dominant category in the wastes collected by the municipality and accounts for 26.7%, followed by paper (17.9%) and then food (14.4%). Food is the dominant category in the wastes collected by the military and private companies and accounts for 36.5% and 45.5% respectively. Management issues associated with solid waste are briefly considered. The study concluded that the municipality should implement an improved system for the collection of plastic waste and initiate a system for recycling it; the military and private companies should reduce the quantities of food waste by improved planning and management of the catering services.

“…It stretches over a distance of approximately 45 km from the city of Beit Hanoun in the north to Rafah city in the south and is between 6 and 12 km wide with a total area of 365 km 2 (AbdAlqader and Hamad, 2012;Abufoul et al, 2014). For administrative purposes, the GS is divided into five governorates: North, Gaza, Middle, Khan Younis, and Rafah.…”

Although, GHG emissions are extensively discussed in the developed countries throughout the world, it has gained little concern in the developing countries because they are forced most of the time to put environmental concerns at the end of their priority list. The paper shows that developing countries have to start recognizing their fault and change their way of dealing with environmental issues especially GHG emissions (mainly Methane and carbon dioxide). The authors estimated the potential methane emissions from a proposed central landfill that has been approved to be built in Palestine, a country that is classified as a developing country.
