Since this area’s industry and urbanization, there is a production of waste. In contrast, many other reasons, such as the public’s lack of knowledge, e-waste from discarded gadgets, waste generated by businesses, and families, and citizens’ indifference, are responsible for the rapid growth of waste in the study area. One of the activities aided by Geographic Information System (GIS) that ensured a successful outcome is related to landfills. The paper describes using tools, like Remote Sensing and GIS, along with MIF and AHP methods. Its goal: find ideal waste dumping sites in Bilaspur and Gourela-Pendra-Marwahi districts, Chhattisgarh. Thematic maps, categorized by ArcGIS, helped grasp the challenge and get precise results. AHP and MIF aid decision-making, recommending top dumping locations. To clarify, the complex issue was divided into a hierarchical structure. Some things went into choosing the standards. The method makes sure we can fix the problem with the picked things. Maps helped see the issue and find a spot for a landfill in the studied area.
