I. Introduction
Green computing, it is the environmentally responsible and friendly use of computers and their
resources that is through using and disposing of computing devices in a way that reduces the
environmental impact.
Each household contains a tonnes of rubbish everyday and it will be increasing as the day going
because the world is continuing of expanding the inventions of many things, like the growing number
of restaurant owners who uses a plastic wares or paper material for their take away food, factories that
are making the machines parts and many more that maybe one of the reason why our ozone layer is
getting thin.
Disposing of waste has huge environmental impacts and can cause a serious problem to health and to
environment, the rotten waste can turn to smelly that can generate methane gas which is explosive
and can cause air pollution that has a big impact to our ozone layer, burning waste can also causes
problem because plastic tend to produce toxic substances such as dioxins when they burnt, the gases
from burned materials will contribute to acid rain and the ash from it will contains heavy metal and
other toxins. Many ways to help in reducing waste, but every single household are lack of information
on how to dispose waste properly. Recycle is one process of reducing and disposing waste.
We are Big, Inc., an international provider of environmental waste management services, with more
than one hundred thousands employees locally and internationally that includes Program Manager,
Program Sponsor, Senior Executives Chief Executive, Contractual, Consultant, Engineer, Administrator,
Technician and trained Labor Force. With the strategic goal of reducing and helping our environment
to be greener and cleaner to slow down the deterioration of our ozone layer for the next generation of
human.
To make this project operates well, each employee will be given a task to do research and decision to b
able to finalise such development of problem arise.
II. Technology Use and the Waste Disposal Equipment
A. Dynamic Compactors

INTRODUCTION
The eco-friendly and environmentally responsible use of the computers with their
effective use of resources by disposing the computing devices to reduce its impact on
environment (Schwalbe, K., 2015.). Everyday tones of rubbish can be found in each house
which keep increasing as the day goes. The world is expanding continuously by new
inventions of many things with innovation such as developing new restaurants. These
restaurants use plastic to wrap the food to provide the take away food facilities. The
disposing of waste properly in huge amount causes positive impact on the environment.
USE OF TECHNOLOGY AND EQUIPMENTS FOR WASTE DISPOSAL
 Dynamic Compactors : It is a technique used to improve the ground to increase the
density of the soil which is filled by dropping weight. The technique is used to collect
the waste and to transfer it into the pit. It helps to built the designs and to operate the
technology in most effective way for its ultimate used to reduce the waste from fuel
composition. The cost of transportation of the waste and traffic congestion to cut
down the gas emission which helps in reducing the air pollution. The transfer stations
are designed to transfer the waste easily and quickly (Larson, E.W. and Gray, C.,
2013.). It helps to increase the capacity of the lorry loader and the containers. The
structure, machinery and technology are the best combination to reduce the volume.
The operation to control air pollution was enclosed with the system for effectiveness.
The most advanced computer system and the software are used to monitor and to
keep the records. The dynamic compactors have also been used fill the compact
land prior to construction of roadways, parking lots, etc to stabilise the large area.
The technique is effective in compaction of silts, clayey silts and sandy silts to
improve the quality of soil. The services received on an average is nearly around 180
tones of the single time recyclables in daily works. The facility also receives an
undisclosed amount of recyclable to manage the material of the roadways and the
sitres.
 Material Recovery Facility : A specialised plant that receives, separates and
prepares recyclable materials for marketing to the end user. These are used on
clean and dirty material to recover it. The technique is used to save the landfill space
on the workplace. It helps to segregate the material which have the potentiality to be
recovered and recycled. It also helps to remove the contaminated waste from the
organic feedstock which in turn helps to produce high quality compost. Its helps to
recover the maximum percentage i.e. 90% of collected paper, plastic, steel and
cans. It has changed the technology from manual to fully automated system. There
are different sections exists in which recycling to the material can be develops in
systematic way. With the help of evaluation, it has been assesses that there are so
many ways in which alternative option also exists so that targets and goals of the
project can be develops. It also assists to reduce wastage of material which assists
to perform several functions and operations in successful manner. Potential recycling
also determines conceptual design for ascertain effective results in respect to
implement adequate capacity. Design and occupational approaches also applied to
accommodate effective services with project. It helps to increase the potentiality of

the project by the effective equipment and timely recycling of the waste.
