A lot many uses of solid wastes from cities are being adopted. Somewhere it is being used as road material, feed for fish and biscuits for pigs. How it is being managed in your city/country?
Interesting studies are done by Dr. Angulo, SC and team (University of São Paulo, Brazil), about recycling of construction waste.
