dc.abstract.enHousehold wastewater is a problem, especially in areas with a dispersed settlement where there is no wastewater collection system or wastewater treatment plant. In this case, it is necessary to build a local or onsite wastewater treatment plant. This paper is an attempt to analyse the possibility of using recycled shredded ABS plastic (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene) as packing media in an experimental vertical flow filter for use in on-site wastewater treatment plants. Studies have shown that shredded recycled ABS is a promising filtration material that has several features important in the treatment process, like a large surface area, high mechanical strength and chemical inertness. The system was operated with a hydraulic load of 50 dm3/m2 (3 months). BOD5 (biochemical oxygen demand), COD (chemical oxygen demand), and total suspended solids (TSS) reduction efficiency in the primary effluent was high; 94.4%, 77.8%, and 92.8%, respectively.
