Abstract
Solid waste management is interdisciplinary. It incorporates, for example, the specialized efforts of engineers, planners, earth scientists, labor managers, economists, lawyers, and psychologists, as well as businessmen in a variety of service trades and industries. Each group has its own specialized and ever-expanding nomenclature. Not unexpectedly, therefore, confusion exists regarding certain terms in everyday use. There is need, then, for a glossary to standardize the concepts in frequent use. A publication is also needed for terms that are coming into use in the literature of solid waste management and may be less well known to government officials and members of the industries involved. This glossary represents an attempt to perform both services.
