A tremendous increase in generation of MSW is observed due to increase in population and rapid socio-economic development. The safe and suitable disposal of MSW has become a tremendous area of concern in most of the Indian cities. This paper consists of one of the disposal methods of MSW for Roorkee Metropolitan area. The population of Roorkee Metropolitan area is estimated for the year 2035 by the United Nations – World’s Population Prospectus and then the waste generation is calculated from it. From the data, a compost plant is designed. For 2022, the total quantity of MSW is calculated as 135.66 tons/day and the average waste generation as 0.357 Kg/Capita/Day taking waste generation annual growth rate of 1.41% given by World Bank. For Composting plant, 60 numbers of aerobic windrows are found to be required.
