waste generation and landfill area

Abstract: In developing Asian countries, the
municipal cooperations are unable to handle the
increasing amount of municipal solid waste, which into the uncollected waste
being spread on roads and in other public areas leading to tremendous pollution
and destruction of land and negative impact on human health. Generation of
municipal solid waste increases with the rapid urbanization and accelerated
economic development with in the rapidly growing advanced technological
societies. The nature of municipal solid waste is a term usually applied to a
heterogeneous collection group of waste produced in urban areas, the nature of
which varies from region to region. The common problem faced by all developing
Asian countries, is the disposal of municipal solid waste and availability of
land fill site area. Present study explains the correlation analysis of among
different factors of municipal solid waste and the objective is to assess the
future municipal solid waste stream in Asian developing countries. The other
goal of this study was to calculate the future land area that would be required
for landfill site disposal in Asian developing countries.?? ? Key
