Abstract: This paper will present the composition of bottom ash determined in samples obtained from MSWI plant in Prague. The samples were first screened into fractions of grain sizes 0–2 mm, 2–4 mm, 4–6 mm, 6–8 mm, 8–10 mm, 10–15 mm, 15–20 mm and >20 mm. Each fraction, with the exception of fines bellow 2 mm, is manually sorted into glass, ceramics, magnetic particles, non-ferrous metals, unburned organics and the residual mineral fraction. It was found that the bottom ash contains in average 15–20 % of glass, 2–4 % of ceramics, 15–20 % of magnetic metals and around 2 % of non-ferrous metals. These results show that the bottom ash from in the Czech Republic is not significantly different from other European countries and has the potential for material recovery.
