7. Key Components of Waste Management Source separation Collection Local waste management facilities (LWMF) Material Recovery Facility (MRF) Compost facility Construction & Demolition Debris facility Household Hazardous Waste facility Second generation Landfill (lined landfill)

8. Source Separation – Two Bag (wet/dry) efficient single-pass collection (lower collection costs) the production of compost; the stabilization of Wet waste residue; the inability to hide unacceptable wastes (e.g. HHW, yard waste) in transparent bags. compost carts not required less education of the public required (sorting is simpler) control of recovery rates occurs at the facility instead of in the home or curb, providing the flexibility to respond to market demands Advantages
