Recent advancements in several freight pipeline technologies have made it feasible to consider using freight pipelines for transporting solid wastes of various types. This paper reviews the state-of-the-art and offers advice on the use of various types of freight pipelines for transporting different types of solid wastes under different conditions. It also describes emerging technologies that show promise for solid waste transport. The use of freight pipelines instead of trucks to transport solid waste has environmental and safety benefits, in addition to cost saving. Freight pipelines should be seriously considered by government and private organizations concerned with solid waste handling and disposal.
