Approach to choose a place for the incinerator plant is considered in the paper. One of the ways to solve the problem of continuous growth of household and industrial waste in the world is construction of incinerators. In Russia, there is still a great fear that the incineration of waste will dramatically worsen the environmental situation. It is significant to take into consideration the cost of construction, the necessary conditions for construction and the opinion of citizens when choosing the appropriate location of the plant. Since this problem is multi-criterion, the method of hierarchy analysis was suggested to consider the site selection. This approach refers to the problem of decision-making in conditions of certainty, but in a situation when the quantitative indicators are determined on the basis of the scale of preferences and on the basis of feelings and emotions. The stages of solving problem with the help described method are described. The hierarchy analysis technique was demonstrated by the example of the task to find a place for the location of the waste incineration plant
