The collection and treatment of municipal solid waste have become an intense problem due to speed up economic development, fast urbanization, cumulatively increased population and industrialization. Increased attention has been given by the government in recent years to handle this problem in a safe and hygienic manner. The purpose of this paper is to review the collection of municipal solid waste (MSW) and landfill deposition. Unscientific landfills leads to deterioration in air quality, public health, etc. Every landfill is an environment hazard and the dump yards have become breeding grounds for dengue, malaria and water-borne diseases. There are concerns over medical consequences from landfill sites and older incinerators, including cancer, mortality, birth defects and low birth weight. Ozone-depleting substances released from discarded electronic appliances and building materials (e.g. foams), as well as industrial waste practices, contribute to ozone-layer depletion.
