Mersin Province Elementary and Secondary Schools in the Source Separation of Solid Waste, Collection and Cost Account

Abstract

Nowadays rapid population growth, technological advance, and increase in the urbanisation and industrialization have brought solid waste forth as one of the most important environmental problem. The increase in the amount of solid waste increases solid waste management and the cost of its disposal. Hence recycling of solid waste and its management until it is asided should be within an integrated system. How the types of solid waste are going to be evaluated and how they are going to be incorporated into the integrated system are determined by characterization studies. The characterization of solid waste studies have been conducted in 12 schools in Mezitli and Yenişehir districts of Mersin. Throughout the characterization studies, samples have been taken on Mondays and Tuesdays in order to evaluate the solid waste existed in the weekdays and at the weekends. According to the results of these studies, the solid waste produced by per person has been identi ed. It has been identi ed that the organic waste is 7.15 g (person day)-1 and package waste is 48.91 g (person day)-1 in Yenişehir district while the organic waste is 5.2 g (person day)-1 and package waste is 33.20 g (person day)-1 in Mezitli district. The recycling of the organic waste by composting and the package waste by reprocessing is a great potential in terms of national economy and a major opportunity for energy recovery. As these studies conducted in Mersin hasn’t been conducted before, they are an examplary for both Mersin municipalities and the other municipalities in Turkey.
