The study on current assessment and proposing solid waste control solutions was con-ducted in Pleiku city, Gia Lai province. In general, the large volume of the municipal solid waste caused pollution and loss of ecological beauty - case study in Pleiku city. This paper investigated the total solid of waste volume which was increasing in periods from 2012 to 2016 with 35,386; 38,689; 43,243; 46,900 and 50,737 tons per year, respectively. The amount of solid waste was col-lected mainly from households and they was equal to the highest rate of 78.7%. Regarding to prediction by 2030, the volume of municipal solid waste tends to increase with 361.186 tons per day. The solid waste was buried in a landfill and used a large land area, but it just can be used in a short time. In addition, the volume and composition of municipal solid waste were relevant to the MBT-CD.08 technology's standard. This researching will be contributed to the decision-making on the selection of solid waste treatment technology in Pleiku city following their trends such as the sustainable development and the high benefits. The MBT-CD.08 technology are a useful solution, high feasibility and will be saved costs related to the solid waste treatment. ER -
