Explicitly, this research effort breakdown a business model into manageable chunks to address how to systematically manage MSW; and which tools and techniques should be efficaciously applied to adapt each step of the process. Decidedly, an inclusive strategy and model can be demonstrated with a real-world application with some significant implications for future practice as a multilateral planning and design reference for students, researchers, scholars, and practitioners in the context of MSW management. Therefore, in a general term, the outlook of this study is based on the evolution of the state of the art of a novel model for MSW management based on multi-oriented approach, comprises technical, social, environmental, institutional, business, management, policy, and cultural factors.
