Forecasting the quantity of waste growth in upcoming years is very much required for assessing the existing waste management system. In this research work, time series forecast model, ARIMA (Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average), is used to predict future waste growth from 2021 to 2028 for Bengaluru, largest city in Karnataka. Eight years old historical solid waste dataset from 2012 to 2020 is used to make predictions. This dataset is preprocessed and only time bounded variables like days, month, year and waste quantity in tons are used in this research work to obtain accurate prediction. The model is implemented in python in Google Colab free cloud's Jupyter notebook. As ARIMA is time bounded, forecast made by the model is accurate and performance of the model is evaluated using metrics such as Mean Absolute Deviation (MAD), Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE), Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) and Coefficient of Determination (R 2 ). Outcomes revealed that ARIMA (0, 1, 2) model with the lowermost RMSE (753.5742), MAD (577.4601), and MAPE (11.6484) values and the maximum R 2 (0.9788) value has a greater forecast performance. The outcomes attained from the model also showed that the total volume of yearly solid waste to be produced will rise from about 50,300 tons in 2021 to 75,600 tons in 2028.
