Abstract
In Malaysia, the landfill method of municipal solid waste disposal is still the most popular due to its economic, easiness and technological ability. However, the process of opening new landfill requires tedious planning decision with regard to identifying the suitable sites. Even though the current landfill site selection (LSS) procedures in the National Strategic Plan for Solid Waste Management (NSPSWM) guidelines had specify the mitigation measures to be followed, the restrictions on the appropriateness of suitable sites for new landfill had not been deliberated comprehensively. The guidelines have not distinctly characterized the constraints or criteria for the site suitability problem as prescribed by the local Enviromental Impact assessment (EIA) guidelines.
