Abstract：The data envelopment analysis (DEA) model was used in the overall analysis and evaluation of the efficiencies for municipal solid waste management system of 34 major cities in China. And correlation analysis of the efficiency with city’s GDP or population scale. At current stage, most cities’ solid waste management level reached at a preferable scale efficiency (mean 0.905), but need to further improve technical efficiency (mean 0.622). According to the geographical sorting, the efficiencies of municipal solid waste management (MSW) of these cities in South China, North China, East China were relatively more efficient, while Northeast, Southwest, Northwest and Central China city were relatively low. The average technical efficiency of MSW is 0.843 for the cities with the population scale of above 10 million, which was significantly higher than those cities with smaller population (<0.6). Therefore, to achieve the intensive development by optimizing resource allocation, improving techniques and increasing investment is an effective approach to improve solid waste management system.
