The dataset represents the waste management activities of \"municipal solid waste\" in a sanitary landfill. The recommended use of this dataset: for average municipal/public waste mixtures. It is not suitable to represent any single specific waste, such as plastics, paper, or cardboard. The characteristics of municipal solid waste in the Fifth Division of the Production and Construction Corps in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region are as follows: food waste 76%, paper 2.4%, rubber 5.4%, textiles (fibers) 4.2%, wood and bamboo 2.5%, ash and soil 0%, bricks, tiles, and ceramics 6.4%, glass 2.4%, and metals 0%. 8%, other categories 0%. Moisture 47%, higher heating value 4148.64 kJ/kg, lower heating value 2183.4 kJ/kg. The carbon share from the initial waste, i.e., 60.4% of it is biogenic. The proportion of unoxidized and largely recoverable metals in the waste (excluding extremely small or extremely thin components) is Iron: 60.03%; Aluminum: 17.81%; Copper: 72.83%. The overall degradation rate of waste in 100 years: 18.73%. Degradability of the waste components: Paper: 27%; Mixed Cardboard: 32% 4% plastic: 1%; laminated materials: 18%; laminated packaging, such as drink cartons: 18%; composite products, such as diapers: 18%; glass: 0%; textiles: 12%; minerals: 0%; natural products: 27%; compostable materials: 27%; inert metals: 10%; volatile metals: 0%; batteries: 0%; electronics: 0%; landfill gas capture and utilization produce 8.68E-05 kWh of electricity and 3.12E-01 MJ of useful heat.
