Urban solid waste management is considered as one of the most immediate and serious environmental problems confronting municipal authorities in developing countries like Bangladesh. The most common problems associated with improper management of solid waste include diseases transmission, fire hazards, odor nuisance, atmospheric and water pollution, aesthetic nuisance and economic losses. In the major cities in Bangladesh, per capita production of solid waste is 0.5kg/day but only 0.2 kg of waste per capita is carried to the final disposal. In Khulna city the municipal work force disposes hardly one third of daily waste about 400 ton/day. The location of disposal (secondary) sites of Khulna City Corporation (KCC) represents the unconsciousness about the environmental and public health hazards arising from disposing of waste in improper locations. A suitable disposal site must have environmental safety criteria’s and attributes that will enable the wastes to be isolated so that there is no unacceptable risk to people or the environment. Criteria for the site selection include natural physical characteristics as well as socioeconomic, ecological and land-use factors. Different tools and techniques are being developed for solid waste disposal site selection in developed countries. The geographical information system (GIS) can provide an opportunity to integrate field parameters with population and other relevant data or other associated features, which will help in selection of suitable disposal sites.
