The dataset represents the waste management activity 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 from the 11th Division of the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps of the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region are as follows: food waste 76%, paper 2.4%, rubber 5.4%, textiles (fibers) 4.2%, wood/bamboo 2.5%, ash/soil 0%, bricks/tiles/ceramics 6.4%, glass 2.4%, and metals 0%. 8%, other types 0%. Moisture 47%, gross calorific value 4148.64 kJ/kg, net calorific value 2183.4 kJ/kg. The carbon share from the initial waste, that is, from biogenic sources is 60.4%. The unoxidized and largely recoverable metal content in the waste (excluding extremely small or very thin parts) is Iron: 60.03%; Aluminum: 17.81%; Copper: 72.83%. General degradation rate of waste over 100 years: 18.73%. Degradability of the waste fraction: 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 produces 8.68E-05 kWh of electricity and 3.12E-01 MJ of useful heat.
