Solid Waste Projects (Sanitary Landfills)

Kilis Solid Waste Sanitary Landfill is designed to dispose the domestic and medical solid wastes of Kilis Municipality until 2025. The landfill area consists of 2 lots. The capacity of 1^st Lot which will serve the population of 91.475 until 2014 is 221.538 m³. Lot 2 will have the capacity of 454.179 m³ which is estimated to fulfill the requirements of the population of 105.100.

In the design of sanitary landfill Turkish Legislations are taken into consideration. The lining system for bottom and slopes is made up of GCL, 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 will be recycled to the top of dump.

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

•    Weighbridges

•    Wheel Cleaner

•    Administration building

•    Garage and Workshop

•    Transformer and Generator

•    Water Storage Tank for fire fighting

•    SW Recycle plant (Civic waste facility)

•    Ground water Monitoring Wells

•    Surface water Controlling Systems

In the scope of project, rehabilitation of existing wild dump area was considered and detail design of rehabilitation works has been undertaken.

In addition to the design studies, TA is provided to the solid waste department of the Municipality. A new organization for solid waste disposal units is proposed and an operation manual is prepared. A workshop is organized in the Municipality to train municipal staff. In addition, in order to increase public awareness for the reuse of recycling wastes, a campaign is organized throughout the city, posters and brochures are prepared and especially students are informed.

ASTM D 5231 – 92 (Standard Test Method for Determination of the Composition of Unprocessed Municipal Solid Waste) is used as test method of Solid Waste Composition Determination studies executed the scope of Kilis Recycling Project.

In the scope of project a technical seminar is organized in the Western Turkey and the related staffs of not only Kilis Municipality but also other Municipalities located in the Southeastern of Anatolia visit the successfully operating sanitary landfills. In this seminar, the landfill operators, university professors, specialized on Solid Waste Management, had lectures and offered training courses to the attendants.
