AB  - Environmental and pollution issues are alarmingly increased each year as Malaysia moved forward to achieve high-income country in current national plan. One of the main concerns to look upon is solid waste
management and final disposal thereof. As such, district of Ipoh, Perak, produces 0.85 kg/capita per day of waste and keeps increasing each year at a rate of 5.4%. This rapid increment acquires structured and well-managed plan to handle the solid waste disposal. A handful of reports stated that the waste collector practices are not undertaken as previously instructed which lead towards abundance and excessive deposit of waste at collection checkpoint. Thus, this calamity needs to be solved by producing a tool on how to manage
the solid waste disposal via the use of web-based program. The existing guidelines are embedded within the
newly proposed web-based program, so that practitioners and ordinary citizen can peruse and look upon on
how to manage the solid waste at their convenience. The main aims of this research are to identify the
composition of municipal solid waste in Ipoh, Perak and to develop a model of municipal solid waste
management using XAMPP web-based program. User-defined functions were created into the PHP interface
enabling the users to click the menu on the main screen. Prior to this web development, questionnaires and
interviews were carried out to gather the primary data on the solid waste composition at the district of Ipoh,
Perak. The model development is commenced after getting enough and reliable data pertaining to solid waste
composition thereof. The development of web-based model for Ipoh district is expected to help practitioners
and residents to identify the composition of waste and best management practice at their community.
