About the Book

The many aspects of the municipal solid waste (MSW) problem are analysed in this fifth volume in the series. Two fundamental choices were made when putting together this book. Firstly, the approach is multi-disciplinary in that it combines technological, environmental and economic analysis, and highlights the many specific inter-relationships between them in the MSW problem. Secondly, the main focus of the analysis is policy, or more precisely, usable knowledge and analysis for policy making at various levels, this being also the case with most technical contributions.

Review :
The text contributes important and instructive information and thereby addresses significant requirements in the arena of MSW management... Resources, Conservation and Recycling The most important feature of this book is that it takes a broad, multidisciplinary look at the problem of management of municipal solid waste (MSW)...much usable guidance for policy making at various levels of government is presented....this text is valuable. It represents a good solid attempt to present a composite view of a highly complex and vast topic. Resources, Concervation and Recycling
