Locating a suitable solid waste disposal site has been a major problem in the municipal environment in developing countries.

The main objective of this study was to select potential areas for suitable solid waste dumping sites, which are environmentally suitable. This study were Landsat images; digital elevation model (DEM) and ground control point collected by GPS and topographical map of the study area.

Abstract
Locating a suitable solid waste disposal site has been a major problem in the municipal environment in developing countries. Especially, urban solid waste management system needs solid waste management technique. Several, countries like Bangladesh are struggling to establish proper waste management systems in the context of increasing population, urbanization, and industrialization. The main objective of this study was to select potential areas for suitable solid waste dumping sites, which are environmentally suitable. This study were Landsat images; digital elevation model (DEM) and ground control point collected by GPS and topographical map of the study area. The maps were prepared by overlay and suitability analysis of GIS, Rs and MCA methods. Relative importance weight of each criterion in the GIS and AHP was determined and finally the suitability map was prepared. A probability map was created based on field observations and the final suitability map, appropriate solid waste landfill site. Therefore, government, private and other organizations are using these techniques for development planning and implementation at every sector. These findings may provide policymakers with crucial information for better solid waste management policy development, which Government, private and other organizations are using these techniques for development planning and implementation at every sector.
