A MULTI?STAGE, MULTI CRITERIA APPROACH FOR SOLID WASTE DISPOSAL SITE DESIGN AND MANAGEMENT: A MODEL STUDY

Objectives: The main objective is to select proper site for landfill and its design and efficient management of solid waste in the study area. Methods/Analysis: The method and analysis includes the comparing of different landfill sites in various components such as soil, air, ground water parameters and propose the efficient landfill site and its suitable design. This also includes the implementing of various strategies in solid waste management. Findings: The projection of the population determined based on the present population. The waste generated for the future years is determined by the base of the waste generation at the current situation. The design of landfill and management of solid waste is based upon the above said parameters. The result of the research leads to the innovative selection of site and landfill design. Improvement: This research helps in better implantation of the efficient methods in solid waste collection throughout the city.
