Abstract
In addition to the main types of special waste related to municipal solid waste (MSW) mentioned in the previous chapters
(health care risk waste, WEEE, impregnated wood, hazardous waste) a range of other fractions of waste have in some
countries been defined as special waste that must be handled separately from MSW. Some of these other special wastes
are briefly described in this chapter with respect to their definition, quantity and composition, and management options.
The special wastes mentioned here are batteries, tires, polyvinylchloride (PVC) and food waste.
