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, cardboard. The characteristics of municipal solid waste in Guilin City, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region are as follows: kitchen waste 47.94%, paper 18.64%, rubber 17.98%, textile (fiber) 5%, wood and bamboo 4.11%, ash and soil 0.7%, bricks, tiles, and ceramics 0.91%, glass 2.39%, metals 1.11%, and others 1.23%. It has a moisture content of 53%. 52%, Higher Heating Value (HHV) 7623.94 kJ/kg, Lower Heating Value (LHV) 5693.85 kJ/kg. The carbon share from the initial waste, i.e., from biogenic sources 60.4%. The proportion of unoxidized and largely recoverable metals in the waste (excluding very small or very thin components) Iron: 60.03%; Aluminum: 17.81%; Copper: 72.83%. General degradation rate of waste over 100 years: 18.73%.
