This book was released on 2018-01-05 with total page 672 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Collection and Disposal of Municipal Refuse The recent development in America started in 1887, by the American Public Health Association, with the appointment of a Committee on Garbage Disposal, of which Dr. Kilvington was Chairman. In 1888, this Committee reported on the Destruction of Organic Refuse by fire. In 1889, a report was presented favoring both reduction and incineration as the promising methods of future garbage disposal. In 1894, Rudolph Hering was appointed Chairman, elaborate statistics were collected from more than a hundred cities, and in 1897 a report was made on the collection and disposal of waste matter in many of these cities, with general conclusions regarding the entire problem. A great diversity of opinion was observed regarding the proper methods to be pursued. The Committee also studied the English experiences and the very complete, instructive, and valuable experiments just then being conducted in Hamburg and Berlin, and presented conclusions which endeavored to place the whole subject on a scientific foundation. The sanitary aspect was given the first and the financial aspect the second place in all recommendations. It was pointed out that a proper solution for any city or town would require a knowledge of the quantity, character, and composition of the refuse, and also of the local conditions controlling the several parts of the problem.

This book was released on 2017-10-13 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Disposal of Municipal Refuse It is self-evident that, above all other considerations, the methods for both collection and disposal should be sanitary. The Street Cleaning Department, the Health Department, or whatever branch of the municipal government that may have the charge of caring for, and getting rid of, these waste materials will always be a cause of some friction with the people. Their acts for general betterment will be considered by some as harmful and detrimental; and selfish and per sonal considerations will crop out as deterring factors against every step for advancement. The other aspect of the subject is one of cost. Both the sanitary and the financial considerations must be regarded, and the selected method for any community must embody both, if it is to be classed as successful.

This book was released on 2017-10-12 with total page 488 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Collection and Disposal of Municipal Waste The subject of waste collection and disposal in American and Canadian municipalities has from the first been a perplexing and difficult problem of municipal administration. It has not been given the attention bestowed upon other branches of municipal service, but most cities have followed the primitive methods in use from the settlement of the country and along lines that are now proven too unsatisfactory and too insanitary to be continued. There is an increasing demand that more economical and sani tary results be obtained in this class of work, and to secure these it seems to be necessary that improved methods be employed, larger sums of money spent, and that the plants be designed and operated under more scientific and expert supervision.

This book was released on 2017-11-30 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Sanitary Disposal of Municipal Waste Civilization costs - and the higher the civilization the greater the cost. One item in the cost of civilization is the price of cleanliness and cleanliness means health and life, for without it there can be neither life, health or civilization. Watch a barnacle in a pool of water at low tide. The creature occupies a pearly house with a trap door in the roof. Suddenly the double door opens, and a delicate hand is thrust out. The fingers close upon some invisible food, the hand is withdrawn and the door closed. Later, when we may not be looking, and when this low form of life has been fed, the door will be opened and the wastage thrown out, because the creature obeys the ancient, primal' instinct - to be clean. A city obeys the same instinct, and the greatest problem now be fore the American people is municipal cleanliness. The wastage of every city must be disposed of every day, or the people perish. Now the key to cleanliness is not a broom - but fire because heat is the great transformer. Dirt has been described as matter out of place. A better definition is matter in the wrong form. The only way to keep a city clean is to transform its poisonous dirt into innocent ash. This has long been known, for the people of ancient cities had their sanitary burning places, where, with purifying fires, they tried in some crude way to ward off plagues and pestilence. We know today that modern science and engineering skill have made it possible to transform a valueless menace to life and health into safe and useful materials, having a real commercial value. It is to this important subject the following pages are devoted and the reader is invited to examine all that here follows because it is believed that the facts here presented are correctly presented, and the deductions based upon them will be found to be borne out by practical experience upon a commercial scale. Two facts stand out in the following pages with convincing clear ness - the safe and rapid destruction of waste material of all kinds is a question of temperature, and the work itself can be done at a profit. Everything burns at some temperature. Five pounds of wet kitchen refuse thrown into the cook stove will put out the fire. Five thou sand pounds thrown into a regenerative destructor will part with its water in a few moments, and then burn rapidly and be speedily transformed into harmless ash. It is purely a question of the rightfurnace and temperature, and what is true of kitchen waste is equally true of every form of wastage from mill, store, house, hotel or hospital.

Book Synopsis Garbage In The Cities by : Martin V. Melosi
Download or read book Garbage In The Cities written by Martin V. Melosi and published by University of Pittsburgh Pre. This book was released on 2004-11-26 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As recently as the 1880s, most American cities had no effective means of collecting and removing the mountains of garbage, refuse, and manure-over a thousand tons a day in New York City alone-that clogged streets and overwhelmed the senses of residents. In his landmark study, Garbage in the Cities, Martin Melosi offered the first history of efforts begun in the Progressive Era to clean up this mess.Since it was first published, Garbage in the Cities has remained one of the best historical treatments of the subject. This thoroughly revised and updated edition includes two new chapters that expand the discussion of developments since World War I. It also offers a discussion of the reception of the first edition, and an examination of the ways solid waste management has become more federally regulated in the last quarter of the twentieth century.Melosi traces the rise of sanitation engineering, accurately describes the scope and changing nature of the refuse problem in U.S. cities, reveals the sometimes hidden connections between industrialization and pollution, and discusses the social agendas behind many early cleanliness programs. Absolutely essential reading for historians, policy analysts, and sociologists, Garbage in the Cities offers a vibrant and insightful analysis of this fascinating topic.

Download or read book Refuse Disposal and Power Production (Classic Reprint) written by W. Francis Goodrich and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-13 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Refuse Disposal and Power Production It is common in these days to find the commercial aspect too prominent; with the desire for sanitary improvement there is an overbearing anxiety on the part of the layman to know whether such improvements will pay - or commercially Speaking - show a profit. If the councillor is assured that the only benefit accruing will be a lower death rate, his sanitary zeal sometimes does not last long. If a sweeping sanitary reform is calculated to add a few pence to the rates, the erstwhile rabid sanitarian decides that the Council rate must be kept down, even if the death rate has to go up. It is indeed regrettable to think that this attitude may be largely attributed to the striking success achieved in some towns where Destructors have been employed in connexion with Sewage or Electricity Works; in the case of the former often saving the entire coal bill, and in the latter case materially reducing the same. The layman too often fails to appreciate the difference between two towns, being possessed of the notion that what has been done in the case of (a) is equally possible in the case of (b) if it is not, then he at once exerts his influence against the introduction of a Destructor. It will be very evident that this is very mischievous, inasmuch as the Destructor does not appeal to a man of this type as a Destructor - a sanitary sine qua non, but as a profitable under taking commercially speaking, and so we find that in some towns where it is not possible to combine a Destructor with an Electricity Works, Sewage Works, or Water Works, the introduction of the Destructor is resisted, or at any rate, left severely alone, until it cannot be neglected any longer. N ot-withstanding the splendid progress already made in this country, much yet remains to be done. It is, moreover, becoming increasingly evident that every shifty method of getting rid of filth will have to be abandoned, and that destruction by fire will, in course of time, become universal.
