It is known that the amount of solid waste changes depending on the economical and cultural living conditions and also seasonal changes. In this study, the variation of recyclable solid waste amounts was investigated for the Istanbul Küçükçekmece district which has a high density of population and industrial activity. The recyclable solid wastes generated in study area were categorized as packaging wastes, waste batteries, waste vegetable oils and electronic waste and the variation of the amounts of these waste groups was investigated based on time between 2010-2015 years. When the amounts of recyclable and recycled packaging wastes were investigated, it showed a significant increase by years. While the amount of recycled packaging wastes was 3,876 tons for the year 2010, it reached to 77,601 tons in the year 2015 with a 20 fold increase. In the period of the study, it is seen that packaging wastes form a large amount of the total wastes by analyzing the percent distribution of examined waste groups. The reason of that could be the simplicity of the recycling and reuse opportunities of packaging wastes. Recycling and reuse opportunities of the waste vegetable oils and e-wastes are new developing applications for this district. It is thought that the recycling ratio of this type of wastes will increase with the developments and improvements on waste management and collection systems.
