| Abstract | ||
| The aim of this research is to study the ability of solid waste utilization in the University of Technology due to large amount of waste produced which could be considered as a natural resource for the country. The research continued for six month , number of samples were 2520 from all department in the university .After collection samples were separated by hand to paper, metal, plastic , organic food, wood, glass and other. The Result revealed the variation of solid waste components with the domination of paper. Organic matter which constituted 18.66% could be used to produce soil conditioners. Recycled and reused matters comprised11.7% could also be advantageously used .The remaining which amounted 24% could be sent to landfill. Monthly calculations for production rates of solid waste from each department of the university the highest production the Wlthural Electronical Servies 171.7 Kg/day in March 2013. Solid waste results compared with the waste produced from other universities, University of Technology was the large amount of solid waste production. Statistical analyses were done to represent the scatter of each component about the mean value. | ||
