And subsidiary, as well as in agricultural lands, or to be transported to a public landfill for garbage to be collected and then buried without treatment. Some countries have resorted to using modern technical methods to benefit from solid waste, considering this study is necessary in achieving the dimensions of sustainable development in the field of solid waste recycling and shedding The light on the accumulation of this solid waste in the environment and society, this study has highlighted that the management of solid waste recycling in scientific ways and advanced methods are of great importance to the local economy, that the waste recycling process contributes significantly to achieving social and environmental balance and contributing to the achievement of economic resources, that Advanced management of solid waste using scientific methods for its treatment and advanced technology for its recycling.
