Abstract: Advance technology helps us in the depicting reality in a particular phenomenon of plastic packaging and waste management. Waste collection constitutes a large proportion of the total modern Urban and municipal solid waste management costs nationwide and the world at large. In Republic of Poland precisely in Zabrze waste management presently account for 40-50% of the total municipal cost. It is therefore very urgent and crucial to improve the waste collection system through developing an optimization management process and geographical Information System (GIS) technology. In Zabrze there is lack of an advanced modelling framework for decision makers to analyze and simulate various spatial waste management problems, including waste collection points and sorting mechanism. The study uses Geographical Information Systems (GIS) and type of settlement as per urbanization and development to help in waste management, especially in analyzing and mapping distribution of items and facilities within a study environment. An analyze of demographic distribution was examined and an estimate of Solid Waste Collection Points in Urban city of Zabrze was observed using ArcGIS. Infancies was place on access road network, population distribution, commercial activities, and settlement approach to then determine waste volume and waste category. The approach used in this study to achieve the aim and desire result was map of settlement in terms of population distribution and structure, infrastructure, road network, commercialization and industrialization, waste classification, waste development from production to life span, waste identification, inventory for the solid waste collection points in Urban Silesian city of Zabrze and to examine the type and patterns of the distribution. Data related to the list of the collection points was sourced from ArcGIS survey which was then used for taking the coordinated points of each solid waste collection point in the study area. ArcGIS online was/is used to collect and analyze the result.
