AB  - Following the development of solid waste management law and the executive regulations of wastes,
along the line of 20-year vision plan for the country and based on Article 50 of the Constitution of the Islamic
Republic of Iran, Waste Management Organization was established in Iran for the purpose of achieving the
objectives of sustainable development. Therefore, (Deputy for Research and Education) of the Recycling
Organization was selected as official responsible in order to determines strategy and plans for establishment
and implementation of this organization. Basic strategy principles for waste in every city is determined by policy
and planning in various management areas such as culture and education, storage system, material transport
and disposal and particular cases such as lower production (minimization) and the important issue of (recycling
in the production process from the source). This issues needs to be dealt with appropriate technology in all the
cities. Despite efforts made in recent years in Zahedan, >40 million Rials is spent daily in order to transport 220
ton/day of waste materials. Considering the uncertainty of efficiency of the current strategy, it is obvious that
applying an appropriate strategy can reduce a large portion of the costs across all the stages of solid waste
management. This study aims to offer efficient strategies to improve solid waste recycling system in Zahedan
based on the technical and economic conditions in the SWOT matrix (weaknesses, strengths, opportunities,
threats). The results of this strategic analysis are presented in the following sections.
