Our group conducted a research on considering the following problems: People problems with solid waste, unfamiliarity with the combination of solid waste and their unfamiliarity from the amount of incomes that receive from solid waste in the first Aino Mena. This research has conducted in first Aino Mena and questionnaires are used as a sample for collecting information in different places to determine the combination of solid waste, then we found the amount of Recyclable and non-Recyclable materials which determined that, what kind of materials are include in the combination of solid waste? How much of the materials we can use twice? As well as we achieved a compost from organic materials by which we decreased the volume of solid waste, developed our economy and saved clear our environment as well. In this research, we found the compositon of solid waste, Recyclable and non-Recyclable materials and their economic analysis has done. In this research we collected information through questionnaires from the Mayoral Chairmanship of Kandahar, from the company of AFCO and from different places of the first Aino Mena. And their analysis we have come into the following result: In the combination of the solid materials in the first Aino Mena include the following materials: paper, plastic, wood, metals, organic materials and more. 44% were organic materials and 41% were Recyclable materials which their total amount is 57.142 tons per month. And 49% were non-Recyclable materials which their total amount is 82.23 tons per month. In the economical analysis, we divided solid waste into three parts: First, not compost of organic materials which their monthly amount is 18.4 tons which cost 735881.6 Afg. Second, we rendered iron directly to the bazaar which their total amount was 6.97 tons which cost 174215Afg. Third part is fuel from which we achieved electricity, which monthly amount is 73734.3 kw/h and its cost is 221203Afg. In the result of economic analysis, the total amount of money is 1131299.9Afg.
