 ABSTRACT

In the modern era, solid waste management, generation, segregation and disposal has raised serious problems in the urban region. Solid waste has hazardous impact and has negative influence on the environment. In this paper composition and characteristics of the solid waste was studied in the Nanded city. Solid waste composition was studied by segregating the solid waste into organic and inorganic components. The organic components include paper, leaves, kitchen waste, wooden material, cloths, and gunny bags. The inorganic components of the waste include plastic, rubber, debris, bones. The observation provides us the data percent composition of organic and in organic waste. Organic characteristics of solid waste were carried out pH, moisture content, electrical conductivity, potassium, phosphorus, nitrogen and organic carbon. The analysis of organic component of the waste indicates that the nutrient content present in it can be used for the agriculture purposes and the inorganic part of the waste should be land filled properly.

Keywords: Organic, Inorganic solid waste, Composition and Characteristics.
