摘要

Rural domestic waste is more scattered than municipal solid waste (MSW). It has a high proportion of agricultural waste, high moisture content, and low calorific value. Much of it has not been incorporated into the urban solid waste management system and is often simply dumped, or even openly burned, causing environmental pollution in rural areas. Establishing a unified urban–rural waste collection transportation network and coordinated incineration system with MSW incineration facilities is a method of intensive waste treatment. The entry of rural waste into MSW incineration plants brings about changes in operational parameters. This study analyzes operational data spanning 2019 to 2024 from a representative MSW incineration plant in Ganzhou City. Key performance indicators, including monthly waste intake, leachate generation, plant electricity consumption rate, and total power generation, were analyzed; the results show that an integrated urban–rural waste management system successfully overcomes the challenges of dispersed waste distribution and high disposal costs in rural areas by incorporating rural waste into the centralized waste-to-energy (WTE) system. The Ganzhou case proves that integrated urban–rural incineration with MSW incineration facilities is an effective pathway for sustainable regional waste management.
