The subject of the research in the article is the collection system of municipal solid waste (MSW) from the population of cities and towns to ensure the environmental safety of the population. The current state of the waste management system in the world and in Russia is analyzed, and recommendations for regulating the management of solid household waste are being developed. The purpose of the research is to estimate the number of containers needed to collect waste from the public. The assessment was based on regulatory documents developed in the Russian Federation. The basic requirements for the organization of sites for the installation of containers for the collection of MSW are also given. The Russian Federation already has experience in implementing a waste management system. Currently, infrastructure facilities have been created and operate in the territories of many cities of the Russian Federation that organize the collection, disposal or burial of waste. Laws and regulations have been developed and implemented, and a system of regional operators responsible for waste collection, transportation, processing, and storage has been implemented. In this paper, we consider only household waste, called municipal solid waste (MSW).When implementing a waste management system, at the first stage it is necessary to create conditions for waste collection from the population, and, in the future, to develop this system in the direction of separate waste collection. Waste categorization can be carried out at special installations, in production conditions. The next step is the reuse of waste for the production of new household goods.

The subject of the research in the article is the system of solid municipal waste management, the choice of a method of sorting and recycling waste to obtain finished products based on the material balance method. For the analysis of production systems, the material balance method is proposed, which allows you to estimate the quantity (mass) waste involved in sorting, processing and receiving finished products and the amount of finished products received at each of the above stages of the waste management system. One of such indicators may be the coefficient of effective waste processing Ƞ (KEPO) in the production of new consumer goods (similar to the coefficient of efficiency), taking into account the economic cycle for the processing of MSW, including the collection, sorting, recycling of waste and the production of new goods in one economic cycle, and the coefficient of waste generation µ (KOO) in the same business cycle, determined by the method of material balance.
