| Popis: | This paper assesses the effect of ageing on physicochemical characteristics of excavated municipal solid waste from Mulund dumpsite in Mumbai, India. Based on disposal year, waste was excavated from different zones in the dumpsite. The excavated waste was screened into five different size categories and further sorted into different streams. Physicochemical characteristics, i.e., pH, bulk density, ultimate and proximate analysis, calorific value and heavy metal concentration of excavated waste were also determined. The results indicate a change in the characteristics and composition of waste with age. The particle size distribution of waste revealed that waste above 80 mm was mostly plastic and textile, whereas |
