Abstract
The aim of the study is both an analysis of existing basic solutions and innovations in the field of municipal solid waste management and new developments by domestic authors. The main research method was environmental monitoring in the impact zone of municipal solid waste (MSW) landfills. In the process of monitoring, the properties of the soils of the landfill bases were studied by testing them and further laboratory studies of lithological and mineral compositions, moisture and density, filtration and other characteristics. As a result, the following were established: the dependence of soil water permeability on particle size distribution, lithological, organ mineral compositions and the degree of their heterogeneity; maximum minimum-required thickness of screening soils at the base of MSW landfills in the Middle Urals. The established dependences of the engineering and geological characteristics of soils make it possible to use them as natural impervious screens, which can be successfully applied in other regions under similar conditions. Among the constructive solutions in the field of municipal solid waste management, the developments of domestic scientists, which were tested in the Moscow, Nizhny Novgorod and Sverdlovsk regions, are considered. Some of them relate to environmental protection in the area affected by landfills, while others are aimed at optimizing the operation of such landfills. The optimization technology consists in combining the operation and reconstruction cycles of municipal solid waste landfills within their land allotment. It allows involving previously unused materials into circulation and obtaining insulating material from “old-year” waste.

Summary
The relevance of the research topic is undeniable, since the problem of waste management and treatment appeared simultaneously with the emergence of civilization. The problem of utilization of municipal solid waste (MSW) is extremely acute. It concerns the health of people, and the health of the planet as a whole. A huge number of marine animals and birds die only because of plastic debris. Open burning of MSW leads to the release of toxic substances, an increase in cancer and other diseases, global climate change, etc. M., Blue D.R., Zaltsberg E.A. and many other domestic and foreign scientists are devoted to various aspects of this problem
