| Summary: | The field and laboratory works of present study are focused on determination of the composition and generation rates of Residential solid wastes. The residential solid waste generation rate was found to be 0.496 kg/capita/day. Food waste comprises the highest percentage among other component about 76.688% from total weight of the solid waste.
The study also examined the weekly and seasonal variation of residential solid waste generation rate. It was clearly obvious. the maximum generation rate was recorded on Fridays of summer 0.519 kg/capita/day. Thus. the total daily amount of Residential solid waste which will be received at landfill will be 424.541 ton/day.
