Municipal solid waste management of urban areas is one of the active areas of research in the recent past.However due attention is not paid to MSWM from small towns and their nea rby villages. Significant portion ofpopulation in developing country like India resides in small towns and their nearby villages. The primary objective of thepresent work is to study technological aspect of MSWM for small-scale towns and their surrounding villages located inthe state of Gujarat. We propose an optimization model to identify suitable collection, segregation and disposal methodsbased on the solid waste quality and quantity of the study area under consideration. Analysis of the results has shownthat formation of clusters for segregation is more economical compared to segregation at each source town/village inabsence of segregation at each household.
