There is no ideal way to overcome the problem of waste disposal, all options in waste management have their own impact mainly emissions from landfilling. Landfilling accounted for almost 5% of total global emissions of greenhouses gas that has an impact 20 times higher than carbon dioxide. The use of proper waste management can make a major contribution towards a sustainable future. Creating a strategy for the prevention of waste is the most important thing.

difficulties in making the right decision in multiple attribute environment. Multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) has been found to be a useful approach to solve such kind of problems. In this paper, an integrated Fuzzy-AHP-TOPSIS based methodology is applied to solve the municipal solid waste landfill site selection problem in the city of Mumbai, India. The methodology has been developed under Indian socio-economic and regulatory set-up. The Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (F-AHP) is used to make
