Proper disposal of MSW is a necessity to minimize environmental health impacts and degradation of
land resources. In developing countries, MSW is commonly disposed of by transporting and discharging

filling and incineration. Looking at the most common disposal methods in the study countries indicate the
share of open dumping to be 90% in India, 85% in Sri Lanka, 65% in Thailand and 50% in China (Figure
