Abstract: A lot of analysis and models have been developed on municipal solid waste management (MSWM) with time. Current research tries to conceptualise on the basis of the drawback of MSWM models. Majority of studied models related to MSWM belong to decision making. Hence to conceptualise their drawbacks, models have been chronologically arranged on the basis of different time period. It has led to understand the dynamism of models. In these models, different methodologies have been used such as life cycle assessment, multicriteria decision making, etc. The study finds out that several solid waste management models attempt to consider the sustainability using triple bottom line, i.e., environmental, economic and social aspects, but none of the models have been able to achieve all the three aspects completely. Another drawback is that the models keep upgrading the methodology used for the MSWM analysis, whereas primary focus should be on the decision making procedure.
