Local authorities need updated and reliable data on the quantity and the quality of the waste generated in their area, in order to establish an integrated solid waste management system capable of fulfilling regional and national waste management targets. This paper presents information about the quantity and the characteristics of the municipal solid waste generated in Thessaloniki, which is the second largest city in Greece. It is based on the results of three research programs investigating the evolution of municipal solid waste. The investigations were carried out over the last 20 years at the landfill of Thessaloniki by the same research group using statistically acceptable practices for sampling and hand sorting. The results show a great increase in the incoming quantities during the last years and a significant increase of the per capita generation. There is also a significant change in the composition, demonstrated mainly by a decrease in the organic fraction followed by an increase of packaging materials (paper and plastic).
地方当局需要有关其所在地区产生的废物数量和质量的最新且可靠的数据,以便建立一个能够实现区域和国家废物管理目标的综合固体废物管理系统。本文介绍了希腊第二大城市塞萨洛尼基产生的城市固体废物的数量和特征信息。它基于三项调查城市固体废物演变的研究项目的结果。这些调查是在过去20年里,由同一个研究小组在塞萨洛尼基的垃圾填埋场进行的,采用了统计学上可接受的采样和人工分拣方法。结果显示,在过去几年中,进入量大幅增加,人均产生量也显著增加。成分也有显著变化,主要表现为有机成分减少,随后包装材料(纸张和塑料)增加。
