Abstract

In this paper we have studied from every day more than 209 tons of waste containing more than 40% of organic material is Generated in the city of boditi. Municipal solid waste (MSW) commonly known as trash or garbage in the United States and rubbish in Britain, is a waste type consisting of Everyday items that are discarded by the public. “Garbage" can also refer specifically to food waste, a sina garbage disposal; the two are sometimes collected separately. The paper covers that the objectives of the study were to produce fuel briquette from municipal solid waste and agro waste which generated from boditi area as well as to evaluate the fuel quality of the briquettes, estimate their potential through determination of other biomass briquettes. The avocado’s and mangos leaves residue were carbonized in oxygen scare environment separately by using carbonizing kiln at alternative energy development and promotion directorate. Then the carbonized resources were crushed to fine particles and mixed with a binder and transformed to briquettes by using beehive briquette machine. Triplicate samples were taking for laboratory analysis and carried out by Wolaita Sodo University for testing and materials procedure. We found that the fuel briquette produced from Avocados and Mangos leaves residue could be used as an alternative source of energy reduce and improve waste management.
