“…The recent advances in treating MSW have been documented, which has helped put those countries in a better position for treating MSWM (Asase et al, 2009;Radwan and Mangi, 2019;Zand, 2020;Zhang, 2010). There are specialised programs in place for proper treatment and disposal of MSW.…”

This study aims to learn the thematic evolution of Municipal Solid Waste Management research by revising Scopus indexed publications between 2001 and 2020. Within a longitudinal system, a scientific co-word inspection is conducted from 2001 to 2020. The publication series was split into two periods; the first period is from 2001 to 2010, and the second period is from 2011 to 2020. The findings, impact rates, and Municipal Solid Waste Management research’s conceptual growth are verified. In this emerging field of research, the co-word review established three key topic areas which are “Landfill”, “Urban Area”, and “Uncertainty”. The themes “Municipal Solid Waste,” “Waste Disposal,” “Costs,” “Waste to Energy” and “Environmental Impact Assessment” have changed from the first themes. The themes “Waste Management Systems,” “Treatment Technologies” and “Leachate” were found to have newly emerged and indicated that MSWM had been varied over successive periods. Future researchers could use this information to recognise the focus of awareness and make verdicts in various ways. There are a few limits of this study: 1) some of the Municipal Solid Waste Management publications may not have been included; 2) this study only considered publication records from the Scopus database, and 3) accordingly, the subject area may have changed if other new databases such as Google Scholar, Microsoft academics, or Dimensions have been retrieved. This study’s findings should be conceded as one proof-based structure for building future studies that benefit researchers, practitioners, and policymakers.

“…Also, unique safety measures and the need to ensure information security can present a trial, given the opportunity, human expense, and commercial impact of COVID-19, such investigation should proceed with zeal 7 . The cities of Jeddah in Saudi Arabia do not have this type of information 24 . There are several active case studies on the involvement of the local and private sectors in the management of solid waste in developing countries.…”

“…The waste is often packaged before storage in the container in old shopping plastic bags and is sometimes dispersed bulk or bagged into trash bags 9 , 12 , 33 . This kind of disposal contributes substantially to the mixing of waste in storage containers on the spot 15 , 24 , 29 .…”

The rapid industrial development, high population growth, and rapid urbanization of Saudi Arabia have led to increased pollution and waste levels. Every day, solid waste disposal for governments and local authorities becomes a significant challenge. Saudi Arabia produces over 15 million tonnes of solid waste annually, with a population of around 29 million. The waste production per person is estimated at between 1.5 and 1.8 kg per day per person. About 75% of the population in urban areas is concentrated, making it imperative that government steps are taken to boost the country's waste recycling and management scenario. The production of solid waste in Riyadh, Jeddah, and Dammam, three of the largest cities, exceeds seven million tonnes annually, which shows the enormity of the civic body problem. During this study, the design Expert software was involved in the optimization of process parameters during the collection of municipal solid waste (MSW) from Jeddah city. The use of design experiments and numerical optimization is quite effective in optimizing the different process parameters on the overall cost. Saudi Arabia has a critical need for a resilient waste system and agile waste management system to control its municipal solid waste quickly and environmentally friendly for achieve Saudi Vision 2030. For this study design of experiment, software was employed to optimize the cost per trip, thereby considering process parameters. It is therefore essential to examine the existing practices and future opportunities for solid waste collection, storage, and disposal. This study considered that MSW generated in Saudi Arabia which is having great potential to be converted into wealth. Hence, considering the current environment situation, energy prospective and future management strategies for MSW have also been reviewed.

“…In many countries such as France, Sweden, Denmark, and Taiwan, Municipal Solid Waste Incineration (MSWI) for energy recovery represents the most common waste management technology [1]. The incineration reduces the mass and volume of the solid waste dramatically, thus the requirement for landfilling is decreased [2][3][4][5][6][7]. However, there is still a considerable amount of solid incineration residue, generated after the combustion, typically bottom ash, fly ash, boiler ash, etc.…”

The current work tries to valorize the bottom ash from Municipal Solid Waste Incineration (MSWI). The bottom ash from waste incineration consists of atypical granular materials. They are industrial by-products resulting from the incineration of domestic waste and the way of the considered valorization is road gravel. In this paper, we present the state parameters of bottom ash taken from a recycling company in the North of France. These features can help us evaluate our bottom ash according to the technical guide of realization of embankments and subgrades.
