Abstract
Abstract The article calculates the formation of solid household waste in the city of Atyrau and 7 districts of Atyrau region. The calculation was carried out taking into account the number of people in the previous four years, based on the characteristics of the average population growth. According to calculations for the next 5 years (2020-2024), the amount of waste in Atyrau will increase every year, which is associated with an increase in the population. Among the districts can be identified such areas as Zhylyoy district. Inder district and Makat district, where there is a significant increase in waste, as the population growth in these areas is positive (0.1% in Inder district, 0.34% in Makat district and 1.3% in Zhyloy district). In the Issatay district, an increase is also predicted, but only slightly, since the population growth is 0.09%. In the remaining three districts, such as Kurmangazy district, Kyzylkuginsk district and Makhambet district, the amount of waste will decrease annually, which is associated with a decrease in population growth, while the maximum decrease is typical for Makhambet region (-4.18%). In the Kurmangazy and Kyzylkoginsk areas, the population growth rate of -0,41% and -0,72%, respectively.
