I have found a new research about solid waste management recently. It was carried out by Cleantech company which works on research issues. You can reach full version of the essay below.
This new report concludes that clean technology ('Cleantech') is on the cusp of transforming practically every business sector, and those who fail to face the challenge and indeed turn this into an opportunity, risk falling by the wayside.

Hierarchy of Solid Waste Management
Used to rank actions to implement programs within the community.
A. Source reduction
B. Recycling/reuse
C. Waste transfor.
D. landfilling
E.g. ISWM hierarchy adopted by the US EPA...
A. Source reduction can be achieved by design, manufacture and packaging of products also selective buying and reuse.
B. Recycling helps to reduce the demand on resources and decreases the amount to be landfilled. It involves
* Separation and collection of waste materials
* Preparation of these materials for reuse,reprocessing and remanufacture.
C. Waste transformation is supplied by altering the waste physically, chemically, and biologically (decreases the amount to be landfilled)
D. Landfilling is ultimately used for, SW that cannot be recycled and of no further
use,residual matter after SW separated in materials recovery facility (MRF), Residual matter after recovery of conversion products or energy.
Planning an integrated waste system for a given region should involve comparison of the environmental impacts and economic costs of different schemes to determine which are environmentally and economically sustainable in that region
