Description
Residual waste (dry waste) refers to other types of municipal solid waste that are neither recyclables, hazardous waste, nor kitchen waste (wet waste). After being discarded by residents, it is typically collected and transported through the municipal solid waste collection and transportation system to incineration facilities for treatment. Residual waste (dry waste) is generally categorized into kitchen waste, paper, rubber and plastic, textiles, bamboo and wood, ash and soil, bricks, tiles and ceramics, glass, and metal.
The process represented in this dataset is the pre-compression treatment of residual waste (dry waste), which occurs at the front end of the municipal solid waste transfer process. The compression process is powered by electricity to operate the compression equipment, and the productive wastewater generated during the compression process is directly discharged into the municipal sewage network.
This dataset is applicable to pre-compression processes of waste materials similar to other waste (dry waste).
Activity Description
This dataset represents the process of volume reduction and compaction of residual waste (dry waste) from households at small-scale compression waste collection stations using mechanical compression equipment. The process mainly reduces waste volume and increases waste density through mechanical compression, facilitating subsequent transportation and treatment. Electricity consumed during the process is supplied by the grid, and the wastewater generated is discharged directly into the municipal sewage network.
