The dataset represents waste management activities of \"municipal solid waste\" in a sanitary landfill. The recommended use for this dataset: for the average municipal/public waste mixture. It is not suitable to represent any single specific waste type, such as plastics, paper, or cardboard. The characteristics of municipal solid waste in Wenshan Zhuang and Miao Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province, are as follows: food waste 50.65%, paper 13.98%, rubber 17.04%, textiles (fibers) 5.16%, wood and bamboo 6.68%, ash and soil 0%, bricks, tiles, and ceramics 0.32%, glass 4.02%, metals 1.26%, and other 0%. The moisture content is 57%. 03%, higher heating value 7089.1 kJ/kg, lower heating value 5179.22 kJ/kg. The carbon share from initial waste, that is, 60.4% of the biomass. 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%. Overall degradation rate of waste over 100 years: 18.73%. Degradability of the waste component: Paper: 27%; Mixed cardboard: 32% 4% plastic: 1%; laminate material: 18%; laminated packaging, such as beverage 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 generate 2.26E-04 kWh of electricity and 8.13E-01 MJ of useful heat.
