Abstract :Due to industrialization and urbanization, resources are consumed disproportionately and as a result, a significant amount of waste is left to receiving environments. The increasing volume of waste affects nations, communities, agricultural lands, families, and individuals. Kırklareli province is the city of Turkey in Western Thrace, which is part of the Marmara Region, which houses a significant part of the national industry and agricultural industry and population. This study aimed to determine the solid waste types and the volume of each type of waste generated in Kırklareli province and to analyze the recycling possibilities of these wastes. Thus, the study aimed to determine the current state of solid waste production in Kırklareli during the urbanization process. The findings of the study showed that the waste collection and disposal procedures implemented in Turkey were also adopted in Kırklareli.
