The aim of this study was to assess the possibilities of municipal waste management system in Poland. Theoretical and legal issues were delineated, particularly concerning municipal waste, including landfilling and incineration. Statistical data was used to formulate three scenarios of increasing waste generation until the year 2040. Based on statutory methodology and the capabilities of incineration plants in Poland, theoretical energy and heat generations were estimated, along with corresponding financial gains. Data gathered from 38 landfilling sites allowed the estimation of the average price for municipal waste landfilling and enabling the calculation of the total cost of waste landfilling in the scenarios created. The cost of waste admission into incineration sites was also considered. The analysis concluded that waste incineration is a crucial element closing the waste management system. Not only is it economically viable, but it also helps to avoid significant environmental pollution.
