Solid waste complications can be traced all the way back to ancient times. Municipal solid waste (MSW) is the waste produced and collected in a city, and it is primarily associated with waste generated in the residential, manufacturing, commercial, and institutional sectors. The amount and type of waste generated vary by region. New and effective strategies for designing urbanisation models are needed, as are policies for effective solid waste management. Solid waste management encompasses all forms of waste treatment, processing, transportation, sorting, disposal, and related management. It does not end by collection; it needs to be done with the wastes is an important part of the overall management procedure. This chapter contains basic waste information. They differ in terms of form, source, quantity, and composition. The functional elements of the waste management system are then addressed, which include storage, collection, transportation, recovery and processing, composting, thermal treatment, and final disposal, among other things. There is also a discussion of waste legislation, accompanied by examples of integrated solid waste management. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2022.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessMunicipal Solid Waste (MSW)Recycling and recoverySolid wasteWaste disposalWaste managementWaste processingBook Part10.1007/978-3-031-06562-0_72-s2.0-85161906302182N/A139
