Solid waste disposal is a pervasive and painful issue in Karachi. One of the main issues facing the authorities of megacities is the solid waste management problem, which needs to be managed in a way that is as technically possible, compatible, socially acceptable, and financially viable. In the current scenario, conventional landfill sites play a significant role as well. Therefore, this thesis aims to comprehend SSWM Karachi and develop a sustainable solution. This study will examine the most feasible ways to responsibly address Karachi's solid waste issues without compromising those now employed in the industry.
