Separation, Collection and Transportation of Municipal Solid Waste - A Case Study in Turkey. Fresenius Environmental Bulletin, (8), 227-228.1018-4619https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12395/17037Municipal solid waste (MSW) is a valuable ore which contains pure and recyclable components. The technology for separation of the MSW components MSWC from each other is very expensive. Main problem for MSWC is nonrecylables if it is mixed and put together in the same container. In this study which was supported by municipality (Yenisehir Municipality, Mersin) financially, a site was chosen for the separation of components at source. In the beginning, the education program has been applied in three categories to train the members who are responsible for dealing with the component at source. The components were tried to be classified according to their chemical structure and the (system) technology to reuse of the component. About 8 classes of MSW were categorized, separated from each other and stored in the bags and/or boxes that are different in colors. The project has been implemented for 195 days and it was determined that the components separated were recovered in about 90% by mass. This project was planned, implemented and extended for the solution of the problems arising from MSWC.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessTurkeySolidMSWCWasteSeparationCollectionTransportationManagementSustainableEducationProgrammeRecyclingReuseConference Object805.06.2020227228N/A
