A total of 400 questionnaires throughout the city due to land area, population and population density were distributed and analysis. It was found from the results of public participation in association with different programs of municipal solid waste management system is increased, the success of these programs is possible to further increase the efficiency and effectiveness of the system (reducing waste production, reducing the rate of landfills).
