    Abstract:

    Solid waste management in urban areas like karachi is difficult to handle not only because of its varied composition but due to unavailibility of proper disposal sites and it is getting severe as the population growth is increasing. Samples from one of the solid waste disposal sites were examined on the basis of physical composition. Since solid wastes are classified based on municipal, agricultural, mining & quarrying, energy generation and hazardous.

    This paper elucidates that heating value was not feasible because of huge quantity of moisture that is due to improper segregation and extreme scavenging action for valuable items in waste. Therefore, different analytical methods are required to calculate heating value of solid waste on the basis of ultimate analysis, proximate analysis and physical composition.

    Keywords: Waste on energy generation, Solid Waste Management, Incineration of Waste.
