Tripoli faces chronic challenges in managing household solid waste due to a lack of equipment, weak institutional infrastructure, and limited social support for environmental initiatives. This study aimed to identify the most economically and environmentally suitable method for handling such waste by measuring local community support for four proposed options: recycling, organic composting, waste-to-energy conversion, and a shift toward a circular economy. The study adopted a descriptive analytical approach using a closed-ended questionnaire distributed to a stratified random sample of 280 participants representing diverse age and education levels within Tripoli. The findings revealed that recycling received the highest level of public support, followed by organic composting, while participants expressed reservations about waste-to-energy options due to a lack of trust in local capabilities. Additionally, the study highlighted the significant role of informal channels—such as family, friends, and social media—in shaping environmental awareness. The study recommends supporting widely accepted community initiatives, intensifying awareness campaigns, and conducting realistic feasibility studies for more complex industrial paths. This research contributes to guiding decision-makers toward effective and sustainable priorities in urban solid waste management in Tripoli.................
