Municipal waste management is an important component of ecosystem and one of the essential part in sustainable development. This paper analyzes Tripoli landfill’s situation. According to Municipality of Tripoli, the average production of waste reached 148.5 million in 2015 where all of these waste was dumped in north of the city which leads to many environmental and health crises. The maximum height point in the landfill reached 30 m in 2013 which is more than acceptable engineered height. The paper took Tripoli landfill as case study to account for the amount of economic and environmental benefits if it is subjected to around zero waste management. The study takes into account the waste generated in 2015 till 2065 by assuming 1.5 % growth in population. As a result lots of economical, healthful and environmental benefits can be extracted if the generated waste is subjected to composting, recycling, reuse and incineration instead of throwing them.

Municipal solid waste management (MSWM) has emerged as one of the greatest challenges of improvement in Ethiopia. This study is conducted in Hawassa City, one of the fastest urbanizing cities in Ethiopia, to assess the existing solid waste management (SWM) practices and challenges observed in the city. The study relies on a case study research design. Sufficient data was gathered through rigorous interviews and field observations. It was also supported by quantitative data gathered from published and unpublished documents. The findings of the study revealed that the current SWM practices of Hawassa City are ineffective and inefficient. The major factors that contributed to the existing ineffective and inefficient SWM system in the City are insufficient collection coverage, improper storage, transportation and disposal, limited budget allocation, absence of standards for licensing private service providers, weak capacity of the municipality to enforce by-laws and create awareness to the community.

Environmental Management Measure (EMM) model will be a well-designed approach for sustainable and effective solid waste management in Dhaka city. Environmental Management Measure (EMM) model has three instruments such as economic, regulatory and suasive which proposed in this paper. This paper discusses the situation of solid waste in Dhaka city as well as it offers environmental policy recommendations to concerned authorities including effective instruments to minimize the polluting behavior of individuals and industries and to recover the cost of pollution in the city. To improve solid waste management in Dhaka city, a combination of economic, regulatory and suasive instrument are recommended. The findings of the study will be helpful for policy maker, planner, implementer and other stakeholders towards adopting more effective strategy for management of solid waste in Dhaka city.

Municipal solid waste is a major challenge for the metropolitan city. Improper handling of municipal solid waste will create the city unsuitable for living.in this paper, we are discussing about the Indore Municipal Corporation strategy to make the city, one of the cleanest city in India. For this purpose, the 5 selected methods are assigned ranks using Fuzzy TOPSIS method by taking opinion from decision makers and averaged for further analysis. On the basis of reviews 6 main problems created in the city due to municipal waste management ( Dust, Fouling, Emission level, Spreading of Diseases, Open defecation ad Improper segregation) are taken into considerations and 20 decision maker’s opinion is taken on measures taken by Indore municipal corporation for reducing problems created in the city due to municipal waste management are Abolishing cattle, Making more number of urinals, D2D garbage collection, General public awareness, Mechanized road sweeping n jet washing and Using twin bins for source segregation. In this paper the Evaluation shows that open defecations ranking one among all the problems which is greatly reduced by various measures taken by the Indore municipal corporation followed by spreading of disease and improper segregation

The present paper addresses the problem of locating solid waste management facilities.Specifically, it studies and proposes optimal alternative solutions for the Greek Region of Peloponnese,by examining facilities for transferring, sorting, treating and landfilling of wastes. Quantitative and qualitative databases concerning the current solid waste management at the Region have been created and used by the model. A customized mixed-integer linear network model has been developed and solved for various evaluation criteria on a single-criterion basis by the use of a location-allocation modeling framework.The solutions resulting from the parametrical application of the multicriterial method ELECTRE III are then ranked for the entire criteria-spectrum. The best alternative scenario is presented for the Region in accordance with current legislation on waste management, which maximizes environmental benefits and promotes recycling, in the frame of sustainable waste management.

One of the essential steps in an efficient municipal waste management system is organizing the collection and sorting of recyclable materials. Having businesses and residential homes sort their recyclables before collection or collecting all recyclables together and then sorting them at a central plant as well as some other pick up and sorting models each have advantages anddrawbacks. This paper will involve a review of relevant academic studies on the topic and a case study of the city of Gatineau, which has recently transitioned from source separated to comingled collection allowing for a comparison of the two systems.
