INTRODUCTION
The minimization of hazardous and non-hazardous solid waste
has become an increasingly important topic in recent years. More
and more, people are becoming concerned that this country's
landfills are nearing capacity, and that hazardous and non-
hazardous solid wastes pose a severe threat to human health and
the environment. Federal, State, and local governments have been
grappling with methods for minimizing wastes through source
reduction and recycling.
Waste Minimization Hazardous and Non-Hazardous Solid Waste
was compiled with assistance from EPA's Office of Solid Waste- in
support of the overall Agency strategy to promote waste
minimization and to improve access to current source reduction
and recycling information. The bibliography, which also reflects
current interest in used oil, includes citations from journal
articles, books, government reports and bibliographies,
conference proceedings, scientific and technical papers, and
speeches.
Citations were selected for their relevance, to EPA
information needs. The bibliography is divided into sections
on Hazardous Waste, Used Oil, and Non-Hazardous Solid Waste.
There are five appendices that provide sources of additional
information: State Programs Supporting Waste Minimization; EPA
Regional .Waste Minimization Contacts; Associations; Waste
Exchanges; and Recycling Periodicals. A number of the citations
include information on several of the above sections. Rather
than duplicate the citations, they were categorized according
to the main thrust of the article and EPA program interests.
Most categories include citations from 1980 to the present.
A listing of non-hazardous solid waste citations pre-dating 1980
will be published separately. It is titled Waste Minimization:
Non-Hazardous Solid Waste Retrospective (1970-1979). The
Background category in the Hazardous Waste section -provides
general information-on aspects of hazardous waste minimization.
In the International Aspects categories, only, information from
1984 to the present was included because of the great amount of
information found. For the same reason, the Waste-to-Energy
category includes only information from 1985 to the present.
Contributions of a number of citations were made by some States,
not only of reports and bibliographies from their own programs,
but of programs they have found valuable.
Following are definitions of key hazardous waste minimi-
zation terms taken from EPA's Report to Congress: Minimization
of Hazardous Waste. October 1986 :
-------
SOURCE REDUCTION - refers to the reduction or
elimination of waste generation at the source, usually within a
process. Source reduction implies any action that reduces the
amount of waste exiting from a process.
RECYCLING - refers to the use or reuse of a waste
as an effective substitute for a commercial product, or as an
ingredient or feedstock in an industrial process. It also refers
to the reclamation of useful constituent fractions within a waste
material or removal of contaminants from a waste to allow it to
be reused.
WASTE MINIMIZATION - means the reduction, to the
extent feasible, of hazardous waste that is generated or
subsequenbtly treated, stored, or disposed of. It includes any
source reduction or recycling activity undertaken by a generator
that results in either (1) the reduction of total volume or
quantity of hazardous waste, or (2) the reduction of toxicity of
hazardous waste, or both, so long as the reduction is consistent
with the goal of minimizing present and future threats to human
health and the environment.

SUMMARY LANGUAGE - ENGLISH; GPO Stock No. 052-003-01048-8.
Languages: ENGLISH
Waste reduction is an economically sensible response to what many people
see as a hazardous waste crisis. -Several thousand pounds of hazardous waste
are generated annually for every person in the Nation. Many thousands of
people have lost their drinking water because of contamination by toxic
waste. Across the country there are thousands of sites contaminated by
hazardous waste that require billions of dolars for cleanup. An increasing
number of lawsuits are being brought by people who claim to have suffered
adverse health effects from living near toxic wate sites. Also the number
of lawsuits being instituted by the government is mounting rapidly. These
suits claim that certain waste generators have not complied with
regulations and that generators who have used waste management facilities
now on the Superfund list must pay for cleanups.

The RCRA authorizes federal and state agencies to regulate waste
disposal. The development of waste management programs should depend on the
waste composition, volume, and economic factors resulting in various
programs of recycling; removal of toxic or hazardous components, volume
reduction, chemical, thermal, or biological conversion; burial of toxic
wastes in secure landfills; and burial of detoxified wastes in sanitary
landfills. Proper waste management emphasizes environmental pollution
reduction. Information is presented on regulations, transportation control,
physical, chemical, and biological treatment, incineration, land disposal
facilities, ocean dumping, and comprehensive waste management. (FT)

SUMMARY LANGUAGE - ENGLISH
Languages: EM3LISH
Improved industrial profitability has traditionally appeared to be at
odds with improved environmental quality. These two objectives can be
combined, surprisingly, when industries implement .waste-minimizing
strategies. Hazardous-waste source reduction is a concept and practice that
goes by many names. Some of ' the more cannon ones include pollution
prevention, low- and non-waste technology, source or waste reduction, and
waste minimization. The goal is elimination of the manufacturing
by-products that "must be treated as waste. The objectives are to avoid the
inefficiency in production that results in wasted resources, and to
minimize the emission of by-products to the environment. Waste minimization
alleviates disposal costs, liability risk, and resource costs. Clearly, the
result is a reduced insult and burden on the natural environment and an
increased profitability for business. Waste, after all, is only a misused
and misplaced resource.

This book provides an in-depth study to examine what the organic chemical
industry is doing to reduce its output of hazardous wastes at their source.
It presents answers to these questions: What are the organic chemical
industry's options for reducing hazardous wastes? Do government regulations
provide incentives or obstacles to hazardous waste reduction? Is waste
reduction a money-saver or a financial hardship? The study includes 29 case
studies of organic chemical plants run by both large, well-known companies
that dominated the industry, such, as DuPont, Exxon, and CIBA-GEIGY, and
smaller plants that are usally overlooked by environmental regulators. Each
company is examined in detail for waste reduction practices in five areas:
process changes, product changes, chemical substitutions, use of new or
modified equipment, and changed procedures for handling chemicals.

Industrial waste reduction: The process problem
Valentino, F.W. ; Walmet, G.E.
ENVIRONMENT VOL. 28, NO. 7, vp, Publ.Yr: 1986
Languages: ENGLISH -
Public and governmental interest in industrial wastes has traditionally
resulted in the expenditure of much time and money on the "embedded"
problem of treating abandoned hazardous waste dumps, preventing the illegal
dumping of wastes, and regulating industrial discharges and dumping. The
vital importance of strategies to reduce the generation of industrial
wastes at the source, or the "process" problem, is often neglected.
Accepted strategies for reducing both the toxicity and volume of industrial
waste vary from minimal-cost efforts to major "changes in production
processes. No single strategy is always best and usually the optimal
solution is a composite approach.

advantageous modern concepts for industrial waste management. It was
prepared particularly for chemical and other engineers who work in industry
and seek direction in process modification approaches for pollution
abatement. The volume will also be extremely useful to environmental
engineers, who increasingly must deal with pollution generation, at the
manufacturing point source. This volume will also assist the students in
understanding the linkage between manufacturing technology and industrial
pollution, and demonstrate how process modifications can effectively reduce

The report examines key institutional, or nontechnical, factors that
affect the generation of industrial waste and discusses the public policy
approaches that could encourage industries to reduce generation. Industrial
waste reduction programs can be expected to occur through a series of
overlapping phases as the programs become increasingly costly and
sophisticated". Public policies need to be dynamic and flexible to adapt to
the changing circumstances. At this time, most waste reduction efforts in
U.S. industry are in their early stages and many relatively simple and
inexpensive opportunities exist for reducing generation of hazardous waste.
Non-regulatory approaches, such as educational programs and information
dissemination, are required to encourage waste reduction. Increasing costs
of land disposal are also an important impetus to undertaking waste
reduction programs. In the future, as industries need to use more
sophisticated waste reduction methods, research and development assistance
in •meeting capital costs will be needed. Finally, the technological,
political, and economic limit of waste reduction will be approached; a
program of risk assessment and management will be needed to define this
limit.

Production is up and manufacturing costs down at an electroplating plant
in Cincinnati. A factory in Culvert, Kentucky, has reduced the amount of
expensive crude oil it needs to produce vinyl chloride, and a major
Minnesota-based company has already saved millions of dollars after a new
system for recovering chromium was installed at its plant. These are not
the first fruits of the Reagan administration's regulatory relief program.
On the contrary, success stories such as these are related to the stronger
laws of the last decade which govern industrial waste emissions and which
have spurred increased interest in the alternative hazardous waste
management strategies of reduction (changing the industrial process so that
hazardous by-products are not produced), recycling (reusing waste
materials), and resource recovery (extracting valuable materials from the
waste stream).

In sane measure, hazardous wastes are the inevitable by-products of the
goods that we demand. Toxic waste products are generated by production of
the clothes we wear, the food we eat, the cars we drive, and the medicines
we take. Everyone would agree that steel is an essential product. Yet
making steel produces hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, and potentially
toxic zinc salts. These wastes are increasingly being minimized by changes
in production technology and by recovery and recycling, but they cannot be
totally eliminated.

Prevention of hazardous wastes, the safest "disposal" method, may involve
chemical process changes, additional processing equipment to separate and
reuse or destroy hazardous components; improved operating procedures to
reduce contamination; reuse of the material onsite or sale for reuse by
another facility; reuse or sale of the material for fuel; strong control of
the disposal program to reduce the potential for emissions of the hazardous
material during handling, transportation, and disposal; and prompt action
when emission does occur to reduce the spread of contamination and minimize
the volume of hazardous waste.created. In order of preference, disposal
methods favored, are sale or transfer for reuse or for fuel., incineration,

SUMMARY LANGUAGE - ENGLISH
Languages: ENGLISH
Practical solutions to waste management problems by industry typically
require a multifaceted approach for most waste streams, particullarly those
containing hazardous wastes. Waste transfer or exchange between firms, as
an alternative to other management methods such as land disposal or
incineration, is becoming economically more attractive for many firms, m
addition, the recent trend in regulations is toward encouraging recycling
and waste reuse. The costs of properly managing hazardous wastes via
treatment or disposal are relatively-expensive. The exchange and reuse of
waste materials may result in on-going revenues that can be used to defray
operating costs. Waste exchanges, through their broad networks of contacts,
help to identify resource reuse opportunities. The historical development
of the network of non-profit and for-profit waste exchanges that has
developed throughout North America is outlined and current characteristics
are identified. Recent cooperation among exchanges has resulted in the
development of the National Waste Exchange Data Base. This on-line computer
information service provides manufacturers and recyclers with a new
marketing tool to meet short-term (spot, market) and long-term recycling
needs. 'The role of exchanges in helping companies comply with recent
federal waste certification and minimization requirement is explained.

Languages: ENGLISH
The legislative history of RCRA shows that Congress clearly intended EPA
to have authority to regulate recycling activity as part of hazardous waste
management. This is inherent in the "cradle-to-grave" concept on which RCRA
is build. While The author wants to encourage the beneficial use of
recycling, he has to acknowledge that some recycling activities pose a much
greater potential for harm than others. He is particularly concerned about
five types of recycling activity: 1. Anything that involves direct
placement of wastes on land; 2. Burning waste or waste-derived fuel for
energy recovery; 3. Processes that regenerate wastes, or recovery material
from wates; 4. Speculative accumulation of wastes that are potentially
recyclable, but for which no current market exists; and 5. Accumulation
without sufficient amounts of .stored material being recycled.

SUMMARY IJOSJGUAGE - ENGLISH
Languages: ENGLISH
Improved industrial profitability has traditionally appeared to be at
odds with improved environmental quality. These two objectives can be
combined, surprisingly, when industries implement waste-minimizing
strategies. Hazardous-waste source reduction is a concept and practice that
goes .by many names. Some of the more common ones include pollution
prevention, low- and non-waste technology, source or waste reduction, and
waste minimization. The goal is elimination of the manufacturing
by-products that must be treated as waste. The objectives are to avoid the
inefficiency in production that results in wasted resources, and to
nrinimize the emission of by-products to the environment. Waste minimization
alleviates disposal costs, liability risk, and resource costs. Clearly, the
result is a reduced insult and burden on the natural environment and an
increased profitability for business. Waste, after all, is only a misused
and misplaced resource.

Governments considering action to encourage source reduction of hazardous
wastes should proceed with caution. Only research and information programs
are certain to improve efficiency in waste generation decisions by
generators. Other programs, such as waste taxes, subsidies for source
reduction, or regulations are likely to cause more problems than they
solve. These problems are inherent in the nature of industrial waste or the
program type or both.

The plan presents the current status of generation, treatment and

future. It also provides recommendations for achieving sound, long-term
management of hazardous waste in Iowa. The major conclusions and
alternatives, presented by the plan, address changes in policy and waste
management. Waste management guidelines were recognized. Land disposal of
hazardous wastes is the least preferred option. Other alternatives are (1)
waste reduction through industrial production changes, segregation of
hazardous wastes from nonhazardous wastes, process modification, and
end-product substitution; (2) reuse, recovery of material or energy, and
recycling; and (3) incineration and treatment of wastes to reduce the
volume of generated wastes or to reduce the hazard level of these wastes.
Disposal and long-term storage, as a last alternative, must still be used
for residues from the previously mentioned practices.

Three hundred million gallons of hazardous waste are generated annually
by 4,500 firms throughout New England. The critical question facing New
England today is what to do with these wastes. In an attempt to address
this question, the New England Regional Commission (NERCCM) began a
hazardous waste management program in 1978. NERCCM, a federal-state
partnership of the six New England state governors and a federal cochairman
appointed by the president, serves to maintain and improve the region's
economic well-being. Its hazardous waste management program is directed
toward encouraging facility development, strong state regulations, prompt
clean-up of illegal dumps, public education, and waste reduction and
recycling. The facility development project has undergone two phases.

The California Department of Health Services, as mandated by the
California Hazardous Waste Control Act of 1978, is currently developing a
comprehensive resource recovery program using a _ combined
clearing-house-consultatibn approach. Although land disposal is still
considered, alternate methods for the disposal of highly dangerous
materials and materials with an economic value were investigated. Initially
as an information gathering effort, the pilot Resource Recovery Program
begun in 1977 evolved into a program encouraging unrelated industries to
develop symbiotic relationships. By Aug. 1978, 35 hazardous waste streams
were being recycled, and sufficient data had been collected to categorize
the hazardous wastes into 5 broad recycling groups. The success of the
pilot program indicates that a government-industry cooperative effort can
result in utilization of many hazardous wastes. (FT)

to identify opportunities for waste reduction available to the PC board
manufacturing industry and to develop a generic audit protocol that can be
used by manufacturers to assess their own waste reduction opportunities.
The study emphasized technologies available to small- and medium-sized PC
board facilities. The tasks included in the study were: (1) selecting PC
board manufacturing facilities to include in the study, (2) performing
waste audits at each, facility, (3) developing recommendations for
implementing waste reduction technologies at each audited facility, (4)
discussing with facility representatives the feasibility of implementing
the waste reduction recommendations, and (5) developing this waste audit

Many studies of DoD facilities have reccannended industrial process
modifications that would reduce wastes generated at the source, rather than
1 concentrating efforts on end-of-pipe treatment facilities. Some of these
studies, which included many featuring excellent cost/benefit raios, have
been successfully implemented; some, however, have not. Therefore, the
methods, such as incentives, and management practices used to successfully
implement a given modification, are important factors in the evaluations of
the case studies examined in this report. Contents: Paint Stripping;

The public interest requires assurance that optimal management exist for
hazardous waste from current activities, small quantity generation, and
site cleanup actions. The Michigan Toxic Substance Control Commission
examined private, semi-private, and state systems in terms of short- and"
long-term public health and environmental protection, and concluded that a
state-chartered Hazardous Waste Authority should be considered to emphasize
reo^ling/treatment/destruction as alternatives to land disposal.

Under current Federal regulations the metal finishing industry must
control the wastewater and hazardous wastes they generate'. This can be
accomplished through the use of cost-effective waste management techniques.
These range from simple water conservation techniques to more advanced
material recovery systems. All of these methods are based on readily
available technologies, which are simple and inexpensive to install,
operate, and maintain. A systematic application of these methods can result
in a significant reduction in the cost of wastewater treatment and
hazardous waste disposal. Yet, these techniques are not widely used within
the metal finishing industry. This paper presents some of the results of
two studies into the application of these techniques to metal finishing
facilities within Maryland. This worJc was sponsored by the Maryland
Hazardous Waste Facilities Siting Board. The Board recognized that many, of
the waste generators within the State did not have the technical
capabilities to develop cost-effective waste management strategies. Thus,
the Board investigated means by which industry could be provided witii
assistance on hazardous waste management.

Fondessy Enterprises, of Oregon, Ohio, still carries on trash collection
and landfill operations, but it also provides emergency cleanup of oil and
chemical spills, tank cleaning, transportation of toxic and, hazardous
wastes, sludge disposal, and resource recovery, plus a brokerage service
for recyclable chemical wastes and-heavy equipment rentals.- The 4 companies
that comprise the Fondessy group own >300 pieces of equipment, including 14
solid waste collection vehicles, landfill equipment, 40 cranes of 8-200 T
capacity, tractors and semitrailers, end loaders and bulldozers, an oil
mop, boats and barges, skimmers, and light planes. Although hazardous waste
handling gives the company national recognition, business fluctuates widely
depending upon movement of chemicals. Solid waste is the low-key portion, of
the • operation, but it provides the daily cash flow that the other
operations do not. In the event of a storage tank rupture or spill from a
rail car or tank truck, men and equipment can be mobilized in as little as
15 min. The firm has a telephone link with an EPA data base in Washington,
DC, to obtain characteristics of the material and safety precautions to
observe when handling it. (FT)

SCA Chemical Services Company, a division of SCA Chemical Waste Services,
Incorporated, has built a waste-to-waste processing and recovery facility
in Newark, New Jersey, which offers a new chemical service, and solves the
problems of how to handle toxic and hazardous wastes in full compliance
with local, state, and federal regulations. The plant is the first of a new
breed of processing and recovery facilities to use proprietary multitrain
unit processes and. resource recovery and reutilization technology. Products
generated by the facility fall into 3 categories: recovered, marketable, or
reusable organics', acids, alkalies, and fuels; chemically detoxified and
treated inactive aqueous process effluent; and dewatered sludges and
concentrated solid residues. A permitted tank farm is located onsite for
storage of the recovered products; but due to the high marketability of the
recovered products, onsite storage is minimal. Incoming waste streams are
classified according to 5 major functional groups based on processing
operations, i.e., organically contaminated aqueous waste, acid recovery,
fuel reclamation and formulation, acid-base redox neutralization, and fuel
reclamation and formulation. Organic reclamation is conducted in 4-stage
unit-operations. Associated reactors, scrubbers, receivers, and a
distillation unit steam strip solvents", and separate and treat aqueous
phases. Process reactions include liquid-liquid separations, liquid-solid
separations, steam stripping of solvents and volatile organics, acid-base
neutralization (pH adjustment), and chemical and active-oxygen oxidation.-
The organic reclamation process, acid recovery process, fuel reclamation
and formulation, acid-base neutralization process, and hazardous waste
detoxification process are diagrammed. (FT)

-------
Technically desirable waste treatment alternatives for the management of
industrial wastes are energy and/or materials recovery, detoxification
treatment, and volume reduction prior to disposal. Regardless of which
alternative is used, residues must be disposed of in an environmentally
suitable manner. Attractive options include incineration, secured
landfills, .land cultivation and composting, and solidification. Although
the prevailing sentiment in New England leans in the direction of a
combination of landfill and incineration, the use of solidification in
conjunction with these 2 is a novel approach for waste disposal. In
practice, wastes from various processes are deliberately mixed with one
another to provide a certain level of pretreatment and stabilization. Thus,
the blending of an acidic waste with a caustic one provides neutralization,.
while the addition of a sulfide-containing waste to a heavy metal waste
would provide some measure of metal immobilization. Because
stabilization-solidification can convert a hazardous waste into a
nonhazardous ore-like substance, there are a number of productive uses for
the final product, i.e., the use of pozzalanic-based solidified wastes as
roadbed aggregates and in parking lots. Solidification has enjoyed
extensive use in Japan for land reclamation along harbor fronts, and in
Europe in abandoned mines and quarries. In New England, it would appear
that solidification offers some advantages over the present option of
transporting wastes to secured landfills in western New York; however,
solidification would require regulatory acceptance and approval. (FT)

Used, oil in California is classified • as a hazardous waste material
subject to the regulatory overview of many agencies. Because of its
classification as such, used oil is regulated by the State Department of
Health Services (DCHS), and subject to manifesting and vehicle registration
requirements; the Air Resources Board (ARE), who regulates emission levels
and hydrocarbon emissions from processing plants and fuel oil burners; the
Regional Water Quality Control Boards who monitor oil disposal operations;
the California Highway Patrol, who performs vehicle inspections of the
hauling industry; and the State Solid Waste Management Board (SWMB), who
regulates, used oil. recycling activities in, the-state. This report will

Large amounts of used lubricating oil are generated in the United States
each year. This oil is very widely dispersed throughout the country,
especially by the 60 percent of motorists who change their own motor oil.
Under current EPA regulations, the characteristics of most used oil would
place it in the hazardous waste classification. This paper describes
research on impurities, and contaminants in used and recycled oil, including
PCBs, lead and lead species, and the halogens chlorine and bromine.
Additional data on the environmental consequences of improper used oil
disposal is needed, in order to help provide proper direction for the oil
recycling industry and the appropriate regulatory agencies.

As part of Metro's Household Hazardous Waste Disposal Project, a pilot
study was conducted in the Seattle area to determine public awareness of
and attitudes about the issues of toxic/hazardous substances in the home
and their safe disposal. Metro also wished to determine actual response to
a collection program in a brief, neighborhood test. An initial telephone
survey was conducted in. the Seattle metropolitan area and the test
neighborhood. A three-week collection project for pesticides, solvents, and
used motor oil was run in the 4000 household neighborhood in February,
1982, followed by a telephone survey to help interpret project results.
This report describes the preparation, procedures, and findings of the
surveys and pilot study. Reconroendations have been developed for a regional
education and collection system for household hazardous wastes in the
Seattle/King County area.

Land disposal is the final step in the solid waste management process.
The need for landfills can be reduced somewhat through reuse, recycling,
and/or resource recovery of waste materials. Processing solid wastes can
reduce handling problems, increase the density of the wastes, and decrease
the environmental problems associated with waste disposal. This lesson
describes recycling and processing of solid wastes for resource recovery.

Ash residue may be overlooked as a potential income-producing product
when a waste-burning plant is built. Recent technological advances have
enabled the ash residue to be economically processed into marketable
products. In one process now used at three plants, for every 75 cubic yards
of shredded solid waste, which would nave to be processed at the front end
to separate and recover the metals, only one cubic yard of ash needs to be
processed for recovery. This is equivalent to enriching our "urban ore" by
more than 50 times! It also changes the raw material's physical
characteristics into a homogeneous, easily processible product.
Furthermore, in this process, the metals are not contaminated with organic
materials, . '

How to assess energy consumption in a municipal solid waste composting
operation. Of the economic factors, the energetics of composting in waste
management is in urgent need, of further elaboration and exploration. This
need prompted an attempt on the part of the authors of this paper to
resolve basic questions regarding the energetics involved in the production
and utilization of compost from, urban solid wastes and municipal sludges,
and peripherally, the applicability of these findings to the management of
other wastes (e.g., agricultural). Progress made in pursuing this attempt
is described in the present paper.

The abundance or cellulosic-based wastes was reviewed by
section of the country and type which includes: wood wastes,
municipal wastes and manures. Of the most promising waste
conversion processes now under consideration, pyrolysis,
liquification, and hydrolysis were selected for preliminary
laboratory screening. Model wastes for this study included
several pyrolysis oils, paper, sawdust and dried cow manure.
Distillate oils produced during wood waste pyrolysis (WPO) served
best as precursers. of products that approxomated bitumens and
highly viscous fluids. In the statistically designed study of
process parameters which followed, the best conditions were
identified for distilling and hydrogenating the crude WPO for
conversion to a usable product (hydrogenate). This hydrogenate, • '
because of its high oxygen content, could be added to
conventional asphalt only in amounts up to ca. 15 weight percent
concentration with little or no observed property change. In
combination with sulfur, the ternary system-
AC/hydrogenate/S: 29/29/42 had a penetration value comparable to
that of AC/S:65/35. A 909 .metric ton/day waste processing
facility could be cost effective in producing 72.7 metric tons
per day of pyrolysis product equivalent to 318 metric tons or
more of blended binder. This assumes that waste is available at
no cost and that coproduct oil and char are credited at
equivalent heating values. (FHWA)

One of the more interesting new concepts that is gaining interest
throughout the country is that of recycling old concrete pavements for
aggregate in new construction. Recycling is consistent with the American
Concrete. Pavement Association (ACPA) econocrete concept, which encourages
the use of recycled concrete for subcases, composite pavements, and
full-depth pavements. The Federal Highway Administration has endorsed this
program and at the present time has a national evaluation program on the
recycling of old concrete pavements. Research by the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers indicates that the recycling of an old concrete pavement can
actually enhance or improve the original aggregate, thus providing longer
life than was possibly attained in the initial pavement. The depletion of
supplies of high-grade concrete aggregates in certain regions, the need for
better methods of solid-waste disposal, and energy conservation efforts
have led to this accelerating interest in recycled concrete. Recycling of
old concrete is .feasible and should be considered whenever good aggregates
.are not available locally or when aggregate costs are excessive or where
the costs of removing and wasting the old pavement are in excess of "what
the cost would be for recycling that material for new aggregate. In 1970,
aggregates produced in the United States totaled 1.8 billion tons. The
highway industry used 47 percent of this, or approximately 800 million
tons. It is estimated that, by 1985, production of aggregates will reach 4
billion tons/year and that highways will use 50 percent or 2 billion
tons/year. Of the various materials used in highway construction,
aggregates constitute one of the major elements of cost-between 21 and 30
percent of the cost of all materials and supplies and between 10 and 14
percent of the total construction cost (excluding the cost of right-of-way
and engineering). Recycled-• concrete ..can .be used as an aggregate base or
subbase for pavement, or these bases can be cement treated with soil-cement
techniques. It can be used in econocrete subbases (lean concrete) by using
concrete mixing plants and slipform pavers. Recycled concrete can also be
used as aggregates in new concrete pavement if tests of new concrete made
with crushed-concrete aggregate indicate acceptable strength and
durability. (Author)

There are four or five options for the final disposition of municipal
waste, each with its own drawbacks and limitations. One system has been
proven by 25 yrs or more of successful operation in Europe and some record
of success in the U.S. This is mass burning of unsorted waste in a
refractory or water wall furnace with a heat recovery boiler. Heat recovery
is a misnomer as actually these systems should be referred to as municipal
waste fired boilers or mass burning systems. Municipal waste-mass burning
systems are appropriate for waste quantity from about 200 tons/day to about
3,000 and is a logical alternative to landfilling as the final disposition
of municipal • solid waste. Mass burning has the advantages of 90.% volume
reduction to a completely odorless inert product, potential for recovery of
valuable • heat energy and existing technology to remove dust and pollutants
from the flue gas to meet the most severe environmental requirements.

Pyrolysis of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) is a promising method of
producing useful fuels. However, several large-scale pyrolysis plants have
not performed as expected, producing low yields of inferior products.
Reasons for past shortcomings include insufficient understanding of the
fundamental mechanisms and kinetics. Current research is directed toward
improved understanding of the basic thermokinetic mechanisms associated
with pyrolytic conversion of MSW. Initial results from nonisothermal
thermogravimetric analysis and bench-scale experiments of some MSW
components are presented. The effect of heating rate on overall degradation
and product formation over the temperature range of 300-475 exp 0 C is
discussed.

Explosions are the major safety hazard associated with refuse-derived
fuel (RDF) facilities using the dry process. A preventive approach consists
of hazardous waste source reduction through strict enforcement of
ordinances, visual screening and removal of hazardous waste prior to size
reduction, installation of a water spray and explosion suppression system,
and a good design practice to eliminate the danger of secondary explosions.
Protective measures include explosion vents, safety barriers,
administrative and operational controls, first aid stations, and emergency
exit passageways. Conventional fire-fighting equipment is effective in
controlling fires. Prevention of fire through elimination of explosion
hazards, smoke detection devices, and administrative and operational
controls should be emphasized. Injuries may occur as a result of improper
protective device and operational negligence. Traffic control, emergency
stop switches for conveyors, shrouds around shredder openings, and remote
monitoring equipment would reduce, accidents. Airborne contaminants can be
controlled by reducing mass transfer mechanisms, creating an environment
less favorable to microorganism growth, and. mechanical filtration. A closed
drainage system with strategically located hose bibbs should be provided
for sanitary maintenance. The potable water source should be protected with
both bacJcflow preventor and air gap for the wet process. Acoustical
treatment combined with vibration control and sound attenuation could
greatly reduce peak sound power levels. (FT)

Recycling certainly is a. hot topic right now, especially in cities,
states, and regions where existing sanitary landfills are nearing capacity
and new solid waste disposal facilities are not being sited quickly enough.
The following "forum" of sorts presents several interesting viewpoints on

Neither disposal method is the final answer

The competition and animosity between many waste managers sparked by the
topic of resource recovery would be greatly reduced if the industry could
agree that resource recovery involves recycling, incinerating and
landfilling. And neither of these disposal methods is the end-all answer to
our disposal problems. The public has perhaps heightened. this competition
between waste managers by showing its approval for recycling and its fear
and. contempt for landfills and incineration facilities. The public would
probably like to see everything recycled, but as the following examination
of the municipal solid waste stream (MSW) will show, recycling alone is not
always practical or financially feasible.

We are faced with an interesting phenomenon in the way the public reacts
to solid waste management. Everywhere the public is resisting every effort
by local government and the private sector to site, construct and operate
solid waste management facilities. Solid -wastes belong to the public, not
the owners and operators of municipal solid waste management systems.
Ownership makes no difference, however, and the NIMBY attitude prevails
everywhere. The public is totally opposed to the use of the land for solid
waste disposal. There was a time when they argued against dumps because of
rats, flies, fires, smoke, litter, etc. We replaced the dump with the
sanitary landfill and now the public argues against the use of the sanitary
landfill on the basis of groundwater contamination.

The capital costs of existing and proposed resource recovery facilities
in the U.S.A. are analysed as a function of facility size and type.
Empirical relationships are developed to relate capital costs of modular
incinerators, heat-recovery incinerators, rotary combustors, and
refuse-derived fuel facilities to design capacities. The scale factors are
compared to published values. Economies of scale are not present except for
small refuse-derived fuel and steam generating facilities handling less
than 1000 tonne day.

The concept of regional government is often maligned as an unnecessary
intrusion on the power of municipalities to regulate and police services
within their own boundaries. Yet, regional approaches to municipal problems
have a good track record. The creation of the wide area Chicago
Metropolitan Sanitary District a Century ago saved the city from disaster
during a cholera outbreak, and the orginally unpopular Regional
Transportation Authority in the northern part of Illinois has well proved
its worth to participating municipalities. Today, some Illinois areas are
looking at a regional approach for "solid waste management" to protect
people's health and the integrity of the groundwater and other resources-,

the amount of solid waste being landfilled. The current solid waste system
in the Portland area consists of: ,1) a healthy private recycling program
which is achieving a nearly 22 percent reduction of waste, 20 a private
garbage collection system which is regulated by local governments (half
franchised and half competitive), and 3') -a regional disposal system
operated by Metro which relies on land-filling. The''system envisioned by
the Metro Waste Reduction Program will, add significant diversity to the
disposal system, and will, by necessity, involve the collection, recycling
and disposal systems in a coordinated partnership.

highway applications was conducted during 1981. -The survey inventory
includes 305 separate entries representing some 80 million tons of waste
material currently accumulating at an annual rate of about. 5 million tons.
Due to the State being a prime source of metal ore mining and smeltering,
vast tonnages of mine tailings have accumulated. Also, considerable
tonnages of electric utility waste products continue to accumulate in the
form of fly ash, dry bottom boiler ash, and wet bottom boiler slag.
Possible uses for each waste material product are cited. From the

As part of Metro's Household Hazardous Waste Disposal Project, a pilot
study was conducted in the Seattle area to determine public awareness of
and attitudes about • the issues of toxic/hazardous substances in the home
and their safe disposal. Metro also wished to determine actual response to
a collection program in a brief, neighborhood test. An initial telephone
survey was conducted in the Seattle metropolitan area and the test
neighborhood. A three-week collection project for pesticides, solvents, and
used motor oil was run in the 4000 household neighborhood in February,
1982, followed by a telephone survey to help interpret project results.
This report describes the preparation, procedures, and findings of the
surveys and pilot study. Recommendations have been developed for a regional
education and collection system for household hazardous wastes in the
Seattle/King County area.

SUMMARY LANGUAGE - ENGLISH
Languages: ENGLISH
15 million tonnes of municipal solid wastes are to be eliminated by year
in France. Three treatment technologies are usually used: sanitary
landfill; composting; incineration. The results of a survey carried out by
CBMAGREF in grinding and composting plants indicate that the large quantity
of refuses to be processed have a better calorific value than the raw
municipal waste. It is interesting to transform these wastes into charcoal.
The charcoal remaining is about 40% to 50% of the initial mass and 60% of
the initial energy. CEMAGREF builds and tests a suspended bed caronizator
using these refuses with a view to transform them into charcoal.

In the f luidized bed furnace at TWO Apeldoorn, an investigation has been
carried out- into the combustion of five different fractions of household
waste. The first phase of the program is to- establish the optimum
conditions for the combustion process of these fractions. The second phase
consists of an extensive measurement program at these optimum conditions.
In that phase special attention will be given to the emissions of PAH's,
PCDD's; PCDF's and PCB's. For a few fractions the temperature in the
freeboard will be increased to about 1300 degree C. The experimental part
of the investigation is finished. The samples are being analyzed at this

The principal aim was to present and discuss the results of the CEC R&D
program, on recycling of urban and industrial waste and of the energy
demonstration program. The priorities in waste policy are implicit in the
title of the symposium: the, first goal is sorting and recycling of
materials whenever possible; the second priority is for thermal treatment
of any materials unsuitable for recovery. .

SUMMARY LANGUAGE -
Languages: ENGLISH
Recognizing that for the recycling industry to be really interested in
recycled materials these materials have to be collected at source, the
purpose of this R&D project is to find the recycling system which: yields
the largest amount, of recycled materials of an acceptable quality to
industry; the smallest degree of participation from the wasteproducer (in
order to increase participation) ; and the highest possible utilization -of
the existing waste handling system (- to keep costs down) . The project was
limited to household waste, and as households in single family housing were
and are subject to a lot of studies the author focused on multistorey
dwellings. The study is still in progress and will be finished by the end
Of 1984.
