Effective management of solid waste has become environmentally and economically mandatory due to the increase of environmental problems. In this context, the evaluation of economic aspects is imperative since the implementation of a solid waste management system is connected with considerable investment and operating costs. The goal of this study is to assess and report the performance of various waste management scenarios in terms of costs and to determine the most suitable alternative. For this purpose, we analyzed a case study in a typical Romanian urban area, in terms of the economic impacts of four waste management scenarios. The economic evaluation was performed based on a cost structure, which we have elaborated to analyze the waste management scenarios from a cost perspective. The results indicated that the most suitable alternative for implementation from economic viewpoint in the studied area is scenario which included the following treatment/elimination methods: sorting, composting and landfilling.

由于环境问题的增多，对固体废物的有效管理已成为环境和经济上的强制性规定。在这种情况下，必须进行经济方面的评估，因为实施固体废物管理系统需要大量的投资和运营成本。这项研究的目的是根据成本评估和报告各种废物管理方案的绩效，并确定最合适的替代方案。为此，我们根据四种废物管理方案的经济影响，分析了罗马尼亚典型城市地区的案例研究。经济评估是基于成本结构进行的，我们已经详细阐述了从成本角度分析废物管理方案的情况。
