produced by people is increasing rapidly as a result of increasing population,
urbanization, rising living standards and technological developments. The
methods that are used to solve the problem of household solid waste elimination
are: irregular storage and landfill. In
this study, instead of landfill, installation of a modern solid waste
retrieval, disposal and energy production facility installation has been
analyzed in technical and economic point of view. To make a technical and
economic analysis of such an integrated recycling, disposal and energy
generation facility, the average composition and the amount of waste, household
waste, recyclable (paper, plastic, glass, metal) and organic matter contents
that belong to Jeddah Municipality have been determined. Based on this
information; investment cost of the facility, annual revenue, annual
