Abstract
The problem of domestic solid waste generated by the process of urbanization has become a world problem due to industrialization and economic development. More than 70% of Turkey's population generates domestic solid waste in cities. Out of 81 city centers, only 41 of them have regular storage systems. This study focuses on determining the problem of storing domestic solid waste and deciding on how to solve the aforementioned problem. Evaluating the studies of Turkish Ministry of Environment and Forestry, the data of Turkish Statistical Institute and the research conducted by other sciences, this paper presents suggestions on how to solve this specific problem with a geographical approach.
