Abstract Municipal solid waste (MSW) from Al-Karak city is monitored and characterized. The MSW is sorted into 14 different waste categories. In addition, the MSW is separated into several size fractions, followed by sorting and characterization. The average daily production rate of waste is 61.5 ton/day. The MSW generated per capita is estimated to be 0.55 kg/capita/day. The main input MSW comprised a modest proportion of organic content 38.8 %. Other combustible fractions are present in significant proportions, allowing the waste to be utilized for energy recovery. Refuse-derived fuels (RDFs) may be made from waste fractions > 100 mm and 50 – 100 mm.
