Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner, 2019 Betty Berzon Emerging Writer Award As recently as the 1880s, most American cities had no effective means of collecting and removing the mountains of garbage, refuse, and manure-over a thousand tons a day in New York City alone-that clogged streets and overwhelmed the senses of residents. In his landmark study, Garbage in the Cities, Martin Melosi offered the first history of efforts begun in the Progressive Era to clean up this mess. Since it was first published, Garbage in the Cities has remained one of the best historical treatments of the subject. This thoroughly revised and updated edition includes two new chapters that expand the discussion of developments since World War I. It also offers a discussion of the reception of the first edition, and an examination of the ways solid waste management has become more federally regulated in the last quarter of the twentieth century. Melosi traces the rise of sanitation engineering, accurately describes the scope and changing nature of the refuse problem in U.S. cities, reveals the sometimes hidden connections between industrialization and pollution, and discusses the social agendas behind many early cleanliness programs. Absolutely essential reading for historians, policy analysts, and sociologists, Garbage in the Cities offers a vibrant and insightful analysis of this fascinating topic.

This book was released on 2018-01-05 with total page 670 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Collection and Disposal of Municipal Refuse The recent development in America started in 1887, by the American Public Health Association, with the appointment of a Committee on Garbage Disposal, of which Dr. Kilvington was Chairman. In 1888, this Committee reported on the Destruction of Organic Refuse by fire. In 1889, a report was presented favoring both reduction and incineration as the promising methods of future garbage disposal. In 1894, Rudolph Hering was appointed Chairman, elaborate statistics were collected from more than a hundred cities, and in 1897 a report was made on the collection and disposal of waste matter in many of these cities, with general conclusions regarding the entire problem. A great diversity of opinion was observed regarding the proper methods to be pursued. The Committee also studied the English experiences and the very complete, instructive, and valuable experiments just then being conducted in Hamburg and Berlin, and presented conclusions which endeavored to place the whole subject on a scientific foundation. The sanitary aspect was given the first and the financial aspect the second place in all recommendations. It was pointed out that a proper solution for any city or town would require a knowledge of the quantity, character, and composition of the refuse, and also of the local conditions controlling the several parts of the problem.
