description Solid wastes have become one of the most critical problems in urban areas because of the increase in the amount and the environmental problems caused by the variety of these wastes. In the same local governments where waste management is mismanaged, much money is wasted, and landfills are unnecessarily occupied. Making a profit out of solid wastes, seen as a heavy burden to the world and our country, aims firstly to collect these wastes apart from their sources by characterizing them. Recycling of both household and industrial wastes should be planned and done at the source. Collection is the most laborious and costly element of solid waste management. The study area was divided into four groups according to income levels, and the waste generated there was evaluated. The study showed that for 2022, kitchen waste ranks first with 67.25%. Kitchen waste is followed by packaging waste at 21.03%; flammable wastes (textile etc.) at 21.04%; ash waste at 44%, While hazardous wastes have a share of 0.55%; lastly, park and garden wastes and electronic wastes were not detected at all. It is seen that waste management activities are carried out in the Çayırova region, but the integration of citizens into waste management activities needs to be increased. In this regard, improvement efforts have been made to increase efficiency in separating collection from the source and reduce the amount of final waste.
