Municipal solid waste is a diverse and mixed waste stream that includes organic and inorganic wastes, biodegradable and non-biodegradable wastes, animal waste, street waste, hazardous waste, and so on. These wastes must be treated in order to have a lower impact on the environment and humans. The waste must be separated and sorted based on its type and nature. The main issue these days is waste plastic, which must be separated from municipal solid waste dumps.
