Title: Technical and economic analysis of household solid waste recycling and energy production for Turkey.
Abstract: In Turkey, the types and quantities of waste that produced by people is increasing rapidly as a result of increasing population, urbanization, rising living standards and technological developments. The methods that are used to solve the problem of household solid waste elimination are irregular storage, landfill, composting, reuse, recycling, retrieval and incineration. In Turkey, domestic waste disposal methods are irregular and regular storage. While sanitary landfill method implementations are on the processing in our country, the EU countries have already been abolishing this method and its applications areas gradually. In this study, instead of landfill, installation of a modern solid waste retrieval, disposal and energy production facility installation has been analysed in technical and economic point of view. To make a technical and economic analysis of such an integrated recycling, disposal and energy generation facility, the average composition and the amount of waste, household waste, recyclable (paper, plastic, glass, metal) and organic matter contents that belong to a municipality have been determined. Based on this information, investment cost of the facility, annual revenue, annual expenditure and repayment period have been calculated.
