Growing population and overgrown cities، lack of appropriate consumption model، increase of advertisement and development of plastic packing are among the main problems of urbanism and management of solid waste material. Today، engineering and managing the waste is considered as one of the developed sciences throughout the world and is the inseparable component of urban management. The waste management is related to the factors such as production، collection، transportation، dumping and recycling which would necessitate the cooperation of several institutions to proceed correctly and to actualize sustainable development. Managing this mechanism is not only impossible by applying traditional methods but also the executive management is not suitable as well. Therefore، there is no way to implement it except for strategic management. Also، reducing pollutions، recycling and re-using wastes، producing environmentally friendly products، increasing the durability of raw materials and reducing wastes are justifiable and considerable in macroeconomic aspects which would often result in growth of economical efficiency of families، industrial sections، and various layers of societies. What is of importance and would result in profitability is the financing approach or the primary investment for the accomplishment of these projects.
