Solid Waste Projects (Sanitary Landfills)

Bismil Solid Waste Sanitary Landfill is designed to dispose the domestic and medical solid wastes of Bismil Municipality until 2025. The landfill area consists of 2 lots. The capacity of 1^st Lot serving the population of 174.000 until 2015 is 267.808 m³. Lot 2 will have the capacity of 611.165 m³ which is estimated to fulfill the requirements of the population of 258.800.

The design of sanitary landfill is carried out in accordance with Turkish Legislations. The lining system for bottom and slopes is made up of natural clay layer, 2 mm HDPE flexible membrane and geotextile. The leachate collection system consists of HDPE perforated pipes having diameter of min 250 mm. The leachate will be collected in a pond and then will be recycled to the top of dump.

The Sanitary Landfill Area will have also some necessary operation units, which are listed as follows:

•    Weighbridges

•    Wheel Cleaner

•    Administration building

•    Garage and Workshop
