An experimental study on a passive solar distiller in the Tikrit city on (latitude line"34 36oThe problem of solid waste in Mosul city is one of the most important daily problems that facesthe municipal and other institutions, because it consists eight sectors and those of varied in thepeople preparation, economic conditions and area, This study aimed to identify the spatialvariation of solid waste as well as the geographical distribution of bins numbers and spatialanalysis using geographic information systems. The study produced many maps of the binsnumber distribution geographically using buffer tools that used to determine the area served bya single bin, as well as the maps of the spatial analysis by Theissen polygons and IDWmethods. The study results proved the efficiency of IDW compared to Theissen polygonsmethod, because the analysis by polygons Theissen methods show only the capacity andefficiency of the bin to accommodate the solid waste at the same location, as well as of thegenerality and comprehensiveness at the area expense in the spatial description process unlikethe first type.
