Problems of solid waste accumulation in large cities and ways to solve them (The Bioscan)

Abstract

The rapid growth of urban populations and increased consumption patterns have exacerbated the challenges of solid waste management in large cities, leading to environmental degradation and public health concerns. This study examines the problems of solid waste accumulation in urban areas, using waste transfer stations in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, as a case study. The research evaluates the operational efficiency, sanitary conditions, and environmental impact of these facilities, with particular attention to seasonal variations in waste processing capacity and district-level waste intake patterns.
