Excerpt from The Sanitary Disposal of Municipal Waste Civilization costs - and the higher the civilization the greater the cost. One item in the cost of civilization is the price of cleanliness and cleanliness means health and life, for without it there can be neither life, health or civilization. Watch a barnacle in a pool of water at low tide. The creature occupies a pearly house with a trap door in the roof. Suddenly the double door opens, and a delicate hand is thrust out. The fingers close upon some invisible food, the hand is withdrawn and the door closed. Later, when we may not be looking, and when this low form of life has been fed, the door will be opened and the wastage thrown out, because the creature obeys the ancient, primal' instinct - to be clean. A city obeys the same instinct, and the greatest problem now be fore the American people is municipal cleanliness. The wastage of every city must be disposed of every day, or the people perish. Now the key to cleanliness is not a broom - but fire because heat is the great transformer. Dirt has been described as matter out of place. A better definition is matter in the wrong form. The only way to keep a city clean is to transform its poisonous dirt into innocent ash. This has long been known, for the people of ancient cities had their sanitary burning places, where, with purifying fires, they tried in some crude way to ward off plagues and pestilence. We know today that modern science and engineering skill have made it possible to transform a valueless menace to life and health into safe and useful materials, having a real commercial value. It is to this important subject the following pages are devoted and the reader is invited to examine all that here follows because it is believed that the facts here presented are correctly presented, and the deductions based upon them will be found to be borne out by practical experience upon a commercial scale. Two facts stand out in the following pages with convincing clear ness - the safe and rapid destruction of waste material of all kinds is a question of temperature, and the work itself can be done at a profit. Everything burns at some temperature. Five pounds of wet kitchen refuse thrown into the cook stove will put out the fire. Five thou sand pounds thrown into a regenerative destructor will part with its water in a few moments, and then burn rapidly and be speedily transformed into harmless ash. It is purely a question of the rightfurnace and temperature, and what is true of kitchen waste is equally true of every form of wastage from mill, store, house, hotel or hospital.

As recently as the 1880s, most American cities had no effective means of collecting and removing the mountains of garbage, refuse, and manure-over a thousand tons a day in New York City alone-that clogged streets and overwhelmed the senses of residents. In his landmark study, Garbage in the Cities, Martin Melosi offered the first history of efforts begun in the Progressive Era to clean up this mess.Since it was first published, Garbage in the Cities has remained one of the best historical treatments of the subject. This thoroughly revised and updated edition includes two new chapters that expand the discussion of developments since World War I. It also offers a discussion of the reception of the first edition, and an examination of the ways solid waste management has become more federally regulated in the last quarter of the twentieth century.Melosi traces the rise of sanitation engineering, accurately describes the scope and changing nature of the refuse problem in U.S. cities, reveals the sometimes hidden connections between industrialization and pollution, and discusses the social agendas behind many early cleanliness programs. Absolutely essential reading for historians, policy analysts, and sociologists, Garbage in the Cities offers a vibrant and insightful analysis of this fascinating topic.

Excerpt from The Disposal of Municipal Refuse It is self-evident that, above all other considerations, the methods for both collection and disposal should be sanitary. The Street Cleaning Department, the Health Department, or whatever branch of the municipal government that may have the charge of caring for, and getting rid of, these waste materials will always be a cause of some friction with the people. Their acts for general betterment will be considered by some as harmful and detrimental; and selfish and per sonal considerations will crop out as deterring factors against every step for advancement. The other aspect of the subject is one of cost. Both the sanitary and the financial considerations must be regarded, and the selected method for any community must embody both, if it is to be classed as successful.

Motivation The other day I was waiting at the station for my train. Next to me a young lady was nonchalantly leaning against the wall. Suddenly, she took a cigarette pack out of her handbag, pulled out the last cigarette, put it between her lips, crushed the empty pack, threw it on the ground and hedonistically lit the cigarette. I thought to myself, "What a behavior?!". The nearest trashcan was just five meters away. So I bent down, took the crushed pack and gave it back to her, saying that she had lost it. She looked at me in a rather deranged way, but she said nothing and of waste to the trashcan. brought the piece Often people are not aware of the waste they produce. They get rid of it and that's it. As soon as the charming lady dropped the cigarette pack, the problem was solved for her. The pack was on the ground and it suddenly no longer belonged to her. It is taken for granted that somebody else will do the cleaning up. There is a saying that nature does not produce waste. For long as humans obtained the goods they needed from the ground where they lived, the waste that was produced could be handled by nature. This has drastically changed due to urbanization and waste produced by human activities has become a severe burden.

This volume provides a perspective on how different countries cope with the municipal solid waste problem politically, administratively, and technically--with a particular focus on sanitary landfilling. Fifteen countries report on the quantities of such waste generated, its composition, and on various management methods used. In addition they report on sanitary landfilling, the impacts of past practices, current practices for leachate control, and landfill gas management. Finally, the role of government, new handling strategies, and likely future directions in waste management are discussed.

Immersed in their on-demand, highly consumptive, and disposable lifestyles, most urban Americans take for granted the technologies that provide them with potable water, remove their trash, and process their wastewater. These vital services, however, are the byproduct of many decades of development by engineers, sanitarians, and civic planners. In The Sanitary City, Martin V. Melosi assembles a comprehensive, thoroughly researched and referenced history of sanitary services in urban America. He examines the evolution of water supply, sewage systems, and solid waste disposal during three distinct eras: The Age of Miasmas (pre-1880); The Bacteriological Revolution (1880-1945); and The New Ecology (1945 to present-day). Originally published in 2000, this abridged edition includes updated text and bibliographic materials. The Sanitary City is an essential resource for those interested in environmental history, environmental engineering, science and technology, urban studies, and public health.

Nicolas Buclet and Olivier Godard In terms of economic scale, waste management is one of the two most important environmentally oriented sectors. 1 It stands at the cross-roads in the material organization of society, resource management, changing lifestyles and consumption patterns, and ecological issues. For many years waste management has been perceived as aresources and health issue, confined mainly to dense urban areas, and not an environmental issue. In contemporary affiuent societies, however, the scale reached by waste flows, the inheritance of accumulated deposits in soils from the waste of previous generations and increasing levels of public concern about environmental proteetion and quality of life have all conspired to impose a fresh look at what waste really implies for a modern society. We are obliged to focus our attention on such questions as how the circulation of matter is at present organized by society and can be modified and controlled if economic development is to become more environmentally sustainable. This is the period we live in. Significant changes in waste management in European countries have been introduced during the last decade or so. To some extent the transition between traditional regimes mainly based on local disposal and new regimes based on a revised organisation of flows of waste matter is still in the making, involving new attitudes, new activities, new technologies and new incentives, reducing the pressure on virgin natural resources and eliminating the huge dissipation of various pollutants into the environment.
