Abstract: In the context of rapid urbanization, the household waste is an important issue that impacts environmental sustainability. This paper analyzes this crucial issue by building an empirical model to predict the dynamics of household waste management in Turkey that highlights the relationship between the rate of household growth, the household waste recycling rate, the infant mortality rate, and population growth, in a Simultaneous Equation System (SES) framework.The main results illustrate the fact that this dynamic can lead authorities to take actions for diminishing pollution and decreasing its effects on health and security of humankind.On top of that, waste management becomes a sine qua non condition of sustainability in Turkey and the efficient management of waste is promoted if the subsidized prices are available.
