Municipal solid waste (MSW) generation rate is on the rise as it is estimated to reach 3,539 million tonnes by 2050 from the 1,999 million tonnes in 2015. The seasonal variations of the physio-chemical properties of the MSW among others exacerbates its management challenges. This study aimed to cond...
