Abstract

Solid waste characteristics and relevant parameters must be determined as an essential step towards solid waste management. To this end, sampling has to be carried out by the most effective and efficient means. The paper presented discusses how a sampling program can be designed to collect data on municipal solid wastes. It is not intended here to discuss how solid waste characteristics can be determined on the basis of available samples.
