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 plastic, paper, or cardboard. The characteristics of municipal solid waste in Bayingolin Mongol Autonomous Prefecture, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, are as follows: 76% food waste, 2.4% paper, 5.4% rubber, 4.2% textiles (fiber), 2.5% wood and bamboo, 0% ash and soil, 6.4% bricks, tiles, and ceramics, 2.4% glass, 0% metal. 8%, other types 0%. Moisture content 47%, higher heating value 4148.64 kJ/kg, lower heating value 2183.4 kJ/kg. The carbon share of the initial waste is 60.4% from biomass. The proportion of unoxidized and substantially recoverable metals in the waste (excluding very small or very thin components) is as follows: Iron: 60.03%; Aluminum: 17.81%; Copper: 72.83%. The overall degradation rate of waste over 100 years is 18.73%.
