Investigation of the Potential & Management of the Urban Solid Wastes recycling

Recycling is the techniques and methods through which, the reusable wastes are separated and are returned to the nature and industry cycle. In this study, produced wastes in Ardakan city were analyzed due to developing a managerial plan. In this research for recognition of the waste materials based on the most recent global guidelines, sampling from10 different areas of Ardakan was made for 10 days in each midseason and each month from 2008Jul to 2009Jul separately. The results of the research indicated that 35.5 tons of wastes are produced in Ardakan city out of which 58.53 % of wastes are made of organic materials, 8.9% 0f paper, newspaper and card boxes, 3.8 % 0f glass, 6.30 % of metals and 10.1 % made of plastic and PET. In sum, around 87.63 % of wastes of Ardakan city could be consumed again (compost and recycle) and since 29 % of the wastes are dry recyclable wastes, around 10 tons of dry recycle could be recycled. In sum, annually 12535.5 tons of wastes are recyclable out of which 3656 tons are dry wastes. According to the estimated data, the total price of the recycled elements is 18292400 Rails per day. This is a large amount and could meet the demands of parts of costs related to collection, transportation and final disposal of urban wastes.
