In present work the analysis of the solid municipal waste management system of the city of Samara was carried out. The utility garbage generated by the city district of Samara and its handling methods were assessed. The experimental studies were carried out to determine the morphological composition of SMW formed from the activity of different age groups of the population. Ii was found that municipal waste composition was dominated by food, plastic and paper wastes which could be easily used as secondary raw materials. The lack of primary sorting was found to impede waste recycling processes. The measures to change the existing garbage disposal system in Samara were proposed.
