Abstract
Municipal solid waste (MSW) is the waste generated from residential sources, such as households, and from institutional and commercial sources such as offices, schools, hotels and other sources. The main components of MSW are food, garden waste, paper, board, plastic, textile, metal, and glass waste. The composition of MSW varies depending on a range of factors; the household waste reflects population density and economic prosperity, seasonality, housing standards and the presence of waste minimization initiatives. The MSW consists of a high proportion of organic fraction resulting from scraps, food residues, paper and garden waste. The organic fraction of municipal solid waste (OFMSW) represents 70% of the waste composition with moisture content around 85–90%.
