Abstract

Khan et al.1 have described how solid waste management planning is the development, comparison and monitoring of various alternative approaches to the solving of municipal solid waste problems. Solid waste management is one of the major environmental problems facing most of the developed and developing countries. Higher rates of waste generation, relevant manpower shortages, limited land resources, and increasing costs of collection and disposal are among the major factors to be considered in solid waste management planning.
