Abstract

[Domestic waste‒composition investigation into different solid waste‒generation sources shows that the largest amount of domestic waste is generated at dormitories and faculties. Managing and controlling domestic-waste generation at dormitories and cafeterias has a significant effect of reducing organic waste and could reduce half of the total domestic waste. According to the comparison of recyclable materials generated from different sources, the results show that the most important sources of recyclable materials generation are dormitories because they generate 40 % of these materials follows by faculties, with 27 % generation. Therefore, dormitories and faculties are two hot spots in terms of recyclable-materials generation that should be considered. Comparing materials collected at the source and those existing in disposable waste shows that the greatest part of recyclable materials generated are transferred for disposal and more than 25 % could not be collected more than 25 % at the source. Furthermore, 3.6 tons of compostable waste, 1.6 tons of recyclable materials, and 1.9 tons of usable waste for the anaerobic-digestion method are generated per day. According to the solid-waste composition, some solid waste‒management scenarios were suggested, and they were compared using LCA and AHP. Combining of the life-cycle analysis (LCA) and analytical hierarchy process (AHP) results in the cluster-analysis method illustrates that scenario 5—by integration of 20 % RDF, 40 % composting, 20 % anaerobic digestion, and 20 % recycling—is the most appropriate solid waste‒management system.]
