Generation Rate And Physical Composition Analysis Of Institutional Solid Wastes In Kolfe Keranyo Sub City

The Basic Foundation And The Initial Step Of Designing And Developing An Effective WasternManagement System Is Implemented Through Quantification And Characterization Of ThernWaste Generated. To Have Accurate Quantification And Characterization, Data Such As ThernType Of Solid Waste Generated, Its Characteristics, Composition, Seasonal Variations, AndrnThe Source Of The Waste Have To Be Assessed And Gathered.rnThe Samples That Had Been Studied Were Made To Be Very Large To Make The Samples MorernRepresentative. The Sampling System Employed In This Study Was Stratified SamplingrnTechnique.rnAll Educational Centers (Schools) Were Grouped To Primary Schools, Secondary Schools,rnAnd Colleges. Samples That Represent The Population Were Drawn From Each Group ByrnSimple Randomization From Each Of The Groups. Characterization Of The Waste For EachrnSampled School Was Done Manually By Hand Sorting.rnThe Result Of The Study Showed That The Total Solid Waste Generated From Schools In The SubrnCity Is 215Kg By Weight And 2395.8lit.By Volume Per Day Respectively. The Density Of ThernWaste Was 89.5Kg/M3. The Mean Total Solid Waste Generation Rate Of The Schools Is 2.6KgrnBy Weight And 28889.63Cm3(28.9lit.).rnThe Physical Composition Analysis Manifested That The Composition Of Paper Took ThernLion’s Share Of 85% By Weight And 94.2% By Volume Respectively. The Second Was FoodrnWaste Which Was 5.5% By Weight And 4%By Volume Respectively.rnFrom The Result Of The Study All Of The Schools Reuse Materials Like Wood And Metal TornMaintain Their Blackboards, Desks, Etc. 83% Of Them Burn Their Waste At The Pre-PreparedrnHoles While 88% Of Them Use To Store And Accumulate Their Waste Temporarily With BasketrnAnd Open Field Before Burning.rnViiirnBased On The Findings Of The Study, The Potential Of Recyclability Of The Waste From ThernSchools Is Undoubtedly Enormous. Therefore A City Wide Network Of Isolating AndrnCollecting The Paper At The Schools’ Level Is Very Essential. The Bureau Of EducationrnShould Connect The Schools With The Recycling Factories So That A Better Waste ManagementrnIs Possible.
