Public Cleansing: Refuse Disposal focuses on the disposal of refuse, as it is the most complex of the problems affecting authorities responsible for public cleansing activities. This text first analyzes domestic refuse and discusses assessing disposal methods. This book then explains tipping operations, transfer loading stations, and pulverization and grinding. The science of composting, the advantages of incineration, and the methods of salvage and utilization are also tackled. This book concludes by explaining the other disposal systems and the disposal of trade wastes. This publication will be invaluable to authorities and industries primarily concerned with refuse disposal.
