This report presents the study of the current method of collection and transportation of domestic waste in Kota Samarahan and recommendations to improve the current system. As a comparison to the former matter, the current method of collection and transportation of domestic waste in Kuching is also collected and analyzed. Before interviews are conducted at MDS and Trienekens, Demoquestionnaires (Visit http://www.pdfsplitmerger.com) (Appendix 1) are given to the person responsible at both organizations to give them a brief idea of this study. However, survey was done by distributing questionnaires (Appendix 2) to residents of Kpg. Tanjung Bundong and Kpg. Muara Tuang. The current method of collection and transportation of domestic waste in Kota Samarahan is using the curbside system. The residents have to provide there own waste containers and the waste collected is hauled directly to the disposal site at Kpg. Plaie using compactor trucks. Kota Samarahan does not have any transfer stations for waste materials. Thus, the data obtained from this study are analyzed and recommendations are given to improve the current method of collection and transportation of waste in Kota Samarahan. iii ABSTRAK Pelbagai masalah timbul semasa menjalankan aktiviti yang berkaitan dengan pengurusan bahan sisa pepejal. Antaranya ialah servis kutipan bahan sisa pepejal yang kurang kerap. Laporan ini membentangkan tentang kaedah terkini yang digunakan untuk proses pengutipan dan pengangkutan bahan sisa pepejal domestik di Kota Samarahan serta cadangan bagi memperbaiki kaedah terbabit. Sebagai perbandingan, kaedah proses pengutipan dan pengangkutan bahan sisa pepejal domestic di Kuching juga turut dikutip dan dianalisis. Bagi menerangkan serba sedikit latar belakang kajian ini, borang soal selidik (Lampiran 1) telah diserahkan kepada pegawai yang bertanggungjawab di MDS dan Trienekens sebelum wawancara Demo (Visit http://www.pdfsplitmerger.com) terhadap mereka dijalankan. Survei pula dijalankan di Kpg. Tanjung Bundong dan Kpg. Muara Tuang dengan mengedarkan borang soal selidik (Lampiran 2) kepada penduduk setempat. Kaedah pengutipan dan pengangkutan sisa pepejal domestik di Kota Samarahan ialah dengan menggunakan sistem dari rumah ke rumah disamping perlu menyediakan tong sampah mereka sendiri. Bahan sisa pepejal yang telah dikutip akan diangkut terus ke tapak pembuangan sampah yang terletak di Kpg. Plaie menggunakan lori. Kota samarahan tidak mempunyai sebarang stesen persinggahan untuk bahan sisa pepejal. Oleh itu, data yang diperolehi akan dianalisis dan beberapa cadangan bagi memperbaiki kaedah terkini pengutipan dan pengangkutan bahan sisa pepejal di Kota Samarahan turut disertakan. iv TABLE OF CONTENTS CONTENT PAGE APPROVAL LETTER APPROVAL SHEET TITLE PAGE DEDICATION i ACKNOWLEDGEMENT 11 ABSTRACT iii ABSTRAK iv TABLE OF CONTENT V Demo (Visit http://www.pdfsplitmerger.com) LIST OF FIGURES ix LIST OF TABLES xi LIST OF ABREVIATIONS xii CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 General I 1.2 Collection and Transportation of Waste 5 1.3 Objective 8 V CHAPTER 2 LITERATURE RIVIEW 2.1 General 9 2.2 Functional Elements of a Solid Waste Management System 10 2.2.1 Solid Waste Generation 11 2.2.2 Waste Handling, Separation and Storage at Site 14 2.2.2.1 Waste Handling and Separation at Site 14 2.2.2.2 Storage at Site 17 2.2.3 Collection 19 2.2.4 Processing of Solid Waste 20 2.2.5 Transfer and Transport 21 2.2.6 Disposal 22 2.3 Municipal Solid Waste Collection 23 Demo (Visit http://www.pdfsplitmerger.com) 2.3.1 Methods of Collection 25 2.3.2 Collection Vehicle Routing 29 2.3.3 Types of Containers 30 2.4 Municipal Solid Waste Transportation 31 2.4.1 Transfer Stations and Transportations 31 2.4.2 Types of Truck 36 CHAPTER 3 METHODOLOGY 3.1 General 38 V1 3.2 Data Collection 40 3.3 Importance of Data Collection 41 3.4 Method of Data Collection 41 CHAPTER 4 DATA, ANALYSIS AND DISCUSSION 4.1 General 43 4.2 Case Study 43 4.3 Majlis Daerah Samarahan (MDS) - Samarahan District Council 44 4.3.1 MDS Service Areas 46 4.3.2 Waste Handling, Separation and Storage at Site 47 4.3.3 MDS Method of Collection 50 4.3.4 Transfer and Transport 53 Demo (Visit http://www.pdfsplitmerger.com) 4.4 Trienekens Sarawak Sdn.
