The objective of this study is to forecast the Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) quantity output in Lucknow city by 2025, establishing a relationship between various socio-economic variables and waste generated using Multiple Linear Regression Analysis (MLRA). It is found that the rate of generation of MSW in Lucknow increases after 1383 M ton d-1 in the year 2015 to 2075 M ton d-1 in the year 2025 and per capita waste increases after 0.465 kg capita-1 day-1 in 2015 to 0.616 kg capita-1 day-1 in 2025 respectively. The outcomes of the research are reliable to ascertain waste generation quantities in future, a pool of factors pivotal in the prevalent composition of the waste and a feasible way ahead towards a proper MSW management system as per the varying composition of solid wastes. The statistics provided in this paper is very useful for proper arrangement and executing the best waste management system in Lucknow City to avoid system failures.
