Current Situation of Landfills
13
Open Dumping still the Only Practice
Occasional cover in most landfills Open burning, bad odor, flies. Hard access roads inside outside landfill. Used for disposal hazardous waste. Used for waste water disposal (septic tank) 50% population served by sewerage system
14
Mixed municipal waste (no separation at points of generation)

15
Landfills are Not Operated Correctly
Basic infrastructure is not available. Shortage of the needed machinery. Used soil for liners compacting Where is should be HDPE. Manpower Problems: Lake of training Low salaries No regulation role their work
16
2 of 24 have leachate system
Leachate and gas collection facilities 2 of 24 have leachate system 1 of 24 have gas collection facilities This lead to: Groundwater, Soil and Air Contamination Health Problems to worker and to Residences. Lost of the potential energy from utilizing landfill gas
17
Private Sector Involvement
Big landfills rented to contractors. No legislation controlling of their work. Using children labors. Expose workers to more health problems. Encourage poor family to live near the landfill.
18
How to operate start in landfills:
Daily cover, Stop open burning. Construction Fencing, weighbridge, buildings, Access road Leachate collection system, Drainage system Ensure no disposal of hazardous waste Employing will trained technicians.
19
Recycling practices inside landfills
+ Formal level regulated by Municipalities or NGOs Alakidr landfill is rented with JD /year Alhsinyat landfill JD/ year Alhmra landfill JD/ year + Informal level by Private sector involvement scavengers Scavengers inside Landfills Aluminum cans Plastic Metals Wood Glass cans Paper Cartoons Tires Scavengers on streets Scavengers outside landfills 4/21/2018 4/21/2018

Recycling potential: Alakidr landfill is rented with 60000 JD /year,
Alhsinyat JD/ year Alhmra landfill with JD/ year The prices of some sorted materials. Price (JD /Ton) Recycle materials 300 plastic 200 Colorful fabrics 350 A white cloth 250 Iron 110 Aluminum 65 Cardboard

Jordan 1st Sanitary Landfill
Conducted as per international standards. The nearest residential area is 8 km. The site lays on low permeability soils Low precipitation and high evaporation.

Conclusion: The current situation of landfills in Jordan is not promising because of the bad situation for most of the operating landfills. The weak financial status of the municipalities and CSCs, stand against getting modern solid waste collection and successful landfill operations None of the municipalities or CSCs have or use written procedures for MSW management, either at collection and landfilling This situation prevents the involvement of the private sector in the development of an integrated solid waste management industry 4/21/2018
24
Recommendations: Develop the Awareness among general public with regard to waste Recycling and reduction. Urgent developing for solid waste management legislations Encourage private sector to invest in the field of solid waste management for better waste collection, recycling and treatment Training of staff of Common Services Councils, municipalities 4/21/2018
25
Land filling should be practiced where large amounts of waste are dumped ensuring exploitable amounts of biogas. Composting should be practiced with less amounts of waste and where biogas generated is not enough to be economically feasible. Encourage private sector to invest in the field of solid waste management for better waste collection, recycling and treatment. 4/21/2018
26
Properly located according to proper sitting criteria.
Reduction of the number of landfill sites to three regional sites which are: Properly located according to proper sitting criteria. Properly designed and constructed on sanitary basis with lining, lechate collection and treatment and biogas extraction and utilization. Al Ghabawi landfill site can be considered as one of these sites since it's a sanitary landfill. 4/21/2018
27
Transfer stations should be properly located and well managed.
Waste compaction in transfer stations should be avoided to allow for waste separation before final disposal. Closure and rehabilitation of improper landfill sites. Benefit from Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) -carbon finance should be considered. 4/21/2018

Main Route for Designing Sanitary Landfill
Political will Management commitment Recycling ,Collection, Landfilling Technical ability Financial resources 1 Open dumping 2 Controlled dumping 3 Engineered dumping Sanitary landfill 4/21/2018 4/21/2018
