The article outlines that the accumulation and disposal of waste is becoming a global environmental problem, accumulating in large volumes, spoilage and rotting of solid household waste under the influence of the environment occurs. It is substantiated that the accumulation of waste in landfills negatively affects the environment, it becomes a source of access for harmful chemical and biological substances that enter groundwater and surface water, atmospheric air and soil. 
It is determined that the problem of disposal and recycling of municipal solid waste (MHW) is one of the main problems in the world, which is associated with the complexity of their morphological composition and their toxicity. Municipal solid waste, which is formed as a result of human activity, contains ferrous and non-ferrous metals, plastics, paper, textiles, glass, food and vegetable waste, rubber, wood and other waste, which must be recycled. 
The methods of MSW processing are systematized, including landfilling, composting, incineration, and secondary processing – recycling. The main trends in waste generation and management in the EU countries in dynamics are determined, the trend towards a decrease in the volume of MSW generation and its landfilling in landfills is outlined, while the volume of its reuse is increasing. The use of MSW landfills to produce biogas through anaerobic digestion is gaining popularity both in the EU and in Ukraine. 
The solution to the problem of effective management of municipal solid waste is implemented through their sorting, and then their disposal by incineration with the production of thermal or electrical energy, or repeated separate processing of various waste components, which also requires additional sorting at the production site (selection of different colors of glass, different types of paper, different types of metal, etc.). In different countries, residents sort municipal solid waste into 5-10 or more items, and in Japan more than 35 items of different types of raw materials.
