Abstract: Ghaziabad is one of the fastest growing, highly urbanised and industrialised metropolitan cities of National Capital Region of India. The waste disposal facilities for Ghaziabad need to be revamped for which proper strategies have to be developed and adopted by the Municipal Corporation of Ghaziabad. Waste-to-energy and compost formation are sustainable solutions for waste disposal practices. In the current study, the chemical characteristics of municipal solid waste of 36 samples from seven different sources in Ghaziabad City have been analysed. The study proposes five predictive regression models based on proximate analysis along with seven regression models based on ultimate analysis in order to reduce cost, time and effort of experimental work. The results indicate that compost formation from waste can be a better option for Ghaziabad City to manage its waste.
