Control Measure of urban and industrial solid waste:
‘The current methods of solid waste disposal are
1) Land Filling
2) Incineration
3) Pulverization
4) Composting
5) Pyrolysis
6) Disposal into open sea

which converts the solid waste into manure. This method is suitable for small and medium
sized towns of India and solves three problems ic., disposal of solid waste, disposal of
night soil and production of manure. There are three methods prevalent in India:
. Mechanical composting
a. Composting by trenching b. Open window compost
Pyrolysis- Here, destructive distillation of solid waste is done. The combustibl.
substances are heated at 650-10000C in pyrolysis retort in low oxygen environment. It is,
an endothermic process.Nie Mes yeod
