本研究的目的是评估所产生的城市固体废物（MSW）的组成和特性，以获得有关马来西亚武吉巴克里垃圾填埋场麻坡可回收塑料数量的信息。根据美国材料与试验协会（ASTM）标准的随机抽样方法进行固体废物取样和实验室分析，以确定废物成分和工业分析（水分含量、挥发物、灰分含量和固定碳）。该场地每天产生的城市固体废物总量为330吨，由25种不同类型的废物组成。所产生的废物的主要成分为39%的食物废物、12%的塑料废物及16%的纸张，占约67重量%。巴克里垃圾填埋场约12%的处置材料由可回收塑料组成，其中9%为塑料薄膜，2%为硬质塑料，1%为泡沫塑料。垃圾的平均含水量在50- 58%之间。尽管在处置场有大量的可回收塑料（约35吨/天），但这些材料仍在未经任何形式的处理的情况下被填埋。根据所获得的结果，本研究建议塑料回收计划作为一个可行的城市固体废物战略，以减少处置废物的数量在巴克里填埋场。
The objective of this study was to evaluate the composition and characteristics of the generated municipal solid waste (MSW) in order to obtain information about the quantity of recoverable plastic at Bukit Bakri landfill Muar, Malaysia. Solid waste sampling and laboratory analysis were carried out according to the random sampling method based on American Society of Testing and Materials (ASTM) standards to determine the waste compositions and proximate analysis (moisture content, volatile matter, ash content and fixed carbon). The total quantity of MSW generated at the site was 330 ton/day made up of 25 individual types of waste. The main compositions of the generated waste were 39% food waste, 12% plastic waste and 16% paper which accounted for about 67% by weight. About 12% of disposed materials at Bakri landfill consisted of recoverable plastics of which 9% plastic film, 2% rigid plastic and 1% plastic foam. The average moisture content of the waste was between 50-58%. Although, there is significant volume of recoverable plastic at the disposal site (approximately 35 tons/day), this materials are still being land filled without any form of treatments. Based on the results obtained, this study has recommended the plastic recovery plan as a feasible MSW strategy to reduce the amount of disposed waste at Bakri landfill.
