Abstract
In recent years, the environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) hypothesis has become a major subject among issues dealing with environmental economics. This curve tries to show an inverse
U-shaped relation between economic development indicators and pollution.
In this study, the curve has regionally been considered in the city of Tehran with respect to its municipal solid wastes. The results confirm that over the period 1996 to 2006 there has been no sign of the EKC in Tehran. However, the source separation of dry wastes policy was effective in decreasing the slope of the so called EKC as it is expected.
