The increase in population greatly affects the measure of waste generation. The huge measure of waste is not supported by the number of waste management facilities and infrastructure, resulting in problems in waste management, such as transportation to final disposal of waste that is not properly accommodated, causing disease, dirty environment, reducing river carrying capacity and so on.
