Abstract :This study aims to analyze the approach of Kahramanmaraş Metropolitan Municipality regarding solid waste management, focusing on its plans, projects, and reports. Utilizing document analysis as a qualitative research method, the study systematically evaluates the municipality\\\'s documents related to solid waste management. The findings indicate that Kahramanmaraş Metropolitan Municipality has made significant efforts to address the solid waste issue, particularly following the February 6th earthquakes, which heightened the city\\\'s challenges in this area. The municipality\\\'s commitment to sustainable waste management is demonstrated through key initiatives, such as the implementation of the “Kürtül Solid Waste Integrated Facility”, marking a notable improvement in waste management practices. Furthermore, progress on the “Northern Districts Integrated Solid Waste Facility Project”, now nearing completion, reinforces the municipality’s ongoing dedication to enhancing solid waste management and sustainability. These initiatives are vital for tackling the environmental challenges faced by the city and promoting a more sustainable future.
