The rapid development and urbanization of China have resulted in an increasing volume of MSW. So the problem of MSW management has become a major social problem, but one the other hand, because of their intrinsic properties, MSW are often reusable and may be considered a resource for energy recovery. The delivering quantity of household waste averages 179 million tons in China, and the amount of untreated MSW over the years has reached 7 billion tons.

In 2015, MSW generation in China surpasses 190 million tonnes per year, and the harmless garbage disposal rate was 94.1 percent, with an annual compound increase of 8.38 percent. The need for MSW management therefore has become paramount. A MSW management includes those measures aimed at reducing the wastes and their adverse effects on the environment. In order to compare and define the advantages and disadvantages of the strategies used on municipal solid waste Management systems, various municipal waste management strategies have been investigated.
