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 Lincang City, Yunnan Province, are as follows: 50.65% food waste, 13.98% paper, 17.04% rubber, 5.16% textiles (fibers), 6.68% wood/bamboo, 0% ash and soil, 0.32% bricks, tiles, and ceramics, 4.02% glass, 1.26% metals, and 0% others. Moisture content is 57%. 03%, higher heating value 7089.1 kJ/kg, lower heating value 5179.22 kJ/kg. The carbon share of initial waste, i.e., 60.4% of biogenic sources. The ratio of unoxidized and largely recoverable metals in the waste (excluding very small or very thin parts): Iron: 60.03%; Aluminum: 17.81%; Copper: 72.83%. The overall degradation rate of waste over 100 years: 18.73%.
