Abstract: This paper undertakes a critical review of the solution approaches, methods and techniques applied to model municipal solid waste (MSW) management systems over the last decade (2007-2018). Sustainability and integration concepts are explored to evaluate the effectiveness of advanced models in achieving sustainable MSW management practices. Papers published are categorized into three main classes with respect to the methods applied to evaluate the operational efficiency and performance of IMSW systems. These include System Assessment (SA), Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) and Operation Research (OR) techniques. Each class is then analyzed by reviewing the key studies as the representatives of the class and potential improvements are suggested to achieve a sustainable Integrated Solid Waste Management (ISWM) system.
