Some solid waste can also be converted to a liquid waste form for disposal. It includes point source and non-point source discharges such as storm water and wastewater. Examples of liquid waste include wash water from homes, liquids used for cleaning in industries and waste detergents.
Solid type:
Solid waste predominantly, is any garbage, refuse or rubbish that we make in our homes and other places. These include old car tires, old newspapers, broken furniture and even food waste. They may include any waste that is non-liquid.
Hazardous type:
Hazardous or harmful waste are those that potentially threaten public health or the environment. Such waste could be inflammable (can easily catch fire), reactive (can easily explode), corrosive (can easily eat through metal) or toxic (poisonous to human and animals). In many countries, it is required by law to involve the appropriate authority to supervise the disposal of such hazardous waste. Examples include fire extinguishers, old propane tanks, pesticides, mercury-containing equipment (e.g, thermostats) and lamps (e.g. fluorescent bulbs) and batteries.
Organic type:
Organic waste comes from plants or animals sources. Commonly, they include food waste, fruit and vegetable peels, flower trimmings and even dog poop can be classified as organic waste. They are biodegradable (this means they are easily broken down by other organisms over time and turned into manure). Many people turn their
Waste is a non-value adding activity. 7 types of wastes: Transportation, Inventory, (Excess) Motion, Waiting, Overproduction, Over-Processing, and Defects (TIMWOOD). 8th category: Unused creativity.
Executive Summary - Coors’ prominence in the beer industry has always been overshadowed by its bigger competitors like Budweiser, Miller and Molson, but new insights unearthed by this report may pave new roads for a more exciting future. The first part of our analysis describes the typical Coors drinker as an aged 25 to 44 male light beer drinker consuming almost seven bottles a week. He also works in a managerial or professional occupation earning over $30,000 annually. Coors’ three competitors also exhibit a similar consumer base with the exception of Molson being predominantly regular beer consumers. These conclusions are tested to be statistically significant.

bio-waste is wasted every day as well as the other categories. Bio-waste is waste material capable of breaking down under aerobic or anaerobic conditions. Due to the nature of this waste it is easier to break down and recycle. Bio-waste is usually recycled through composting or using the scraps to feed other organisms (Dusseldorf, 1998).
Waste management applies to a variety of resources, from food to energy to water. Nature itself produces no waste,
animals, products of animal origin). It is therefore necessary to treat them as hazardous waste

The quantity and generation rate of solid wastes in Nigeria have increased over at an alarming rate over the years with lack of efficient and modern technology for the management of the wastes. The generation rate, collection and disposal of solid wastes are functions of several factors which if well considered and appropriated could bring the desired solution to the waste management problems in Nigeria. This chapter contains a brief description of the problem of study, background to the problem, purpose of the study and research questions. Significance and scope of the study were also discussed in this chapter. By definition, solid wastes could be defined as a non-liquid and non-gaseous
According to (United State Environmental Protection Agency, USEPA, 2000).solid waste incorporates any garbage, refuse, sludge and items that have lost its original value, thus discarded or preparing to dispose.

In nature nothing is wasted; everything lives, dies, and becomes apart of the soil to fuel new generations of life. This process, called composting, is the earth's way of recycling. However, the technology that mankind has to offer has made this method a little more difficult because everything is not living and turns to garbage instead of rich soil. Our society uses an unsustainable process that piles all waste in landfills that are hazardous to the environment and the species inhabit those areas. The problem of waste arises not only from the waste that is created from nonliving items but from the choice to waste the perished once living items.
When a waste cause threat to human health, it is considered as hazardous (RCRA, 1978). According to RCRA of USA all the wastes are solid
