Beijing, the capital of China, has a land area of approximately 1368.32km2 with an urban population of about 19.61 million in 2010. Over the past three decades, MSW generation in Beijing City has increased tremendously from 1.04 million tons in 1978 to 4.134 million tons in 2006. (BMAC2010)The average generation rate of MSW in 2006 was 0.85kg/capita/day. Currently, more than 80% of MSW generated in Beijing is land filled, 10%is incinerated and 10% is composted. (WANG, 2010) If these trends continue the amount of waste will surpass the capacity of transfer stations, treatment plants and final disposal sites. In addition due to environmental and health problems occurring in the vicinity of current waste treatment and final disposal plants, residents show strong rejection to the construction of such facilities. Solid waste management facilities represent long-term commitments of public resources that can dramatically alter the quality of life in a community.
