This brief outlines how cost–benefit analysis can help policy makers assess potential solid waste management projects by quantifying the estimated economic, environmental, and health impacts.

It analyzes two cases—a hypothetical incinerator project in the Marshall Islands and a new landfill in Solomon Islands—to show how this type of analysis can support decision-making.
