Solid waste management system has become a serious issue of concern for the countries with rising population. Increase in population has lead in increase in consumption of resources as well as it has significantly increased the amount of waste generated and disposed by its people. In the past few years, solid waste management systems over the globe have involved complex and multi-faceted trade-offs among a bundle of technological alternatives, economic strategies and regulatory frameworks.These changes have resulted in various environmental, economical, and health concerns. To tackle these concerns we need to introduce a set of new sub-system which is robust, flexible and efficient to handle solid waste up to date. Systemic thinking and its implementation is a brand new approach which can be implied in Solid waste management (SWM)to give better results. Issues related to solid waste management arise due to lack of waste segregation at source, low percentage of house-to-house collection, large number of open vats, low operational efficiencies of waste transport, low collection efficiency and an inefficient informal recycling system. Systems engineeringprinciples can be applied to these loop holes to construct an efficient system. This paper deals with introduction of systems engineering to solid waste management: its methodology, systemic models, systemic tools, approaches and a case study of Integrated Solid Waste Management System at Rochester Institute of Technology, New York. This paper will cover various systems models, tools which can be applied to the SWM model in RIT. Considering the results from case study done in RIT, system analysis models and tools can be applied to any SWM system in a synergetic way which would certainly provide opportunity to develop better SWM strategies leading to conformity with current standards and foster future perspectives for efficient waste management systems.
