Abstract:	The study on the estimation of particle size distribution in carbonized municipal solid waste (MSW) using dynamic light scattering (DLS) method was investigated for different solid wastes. The selected MSW are dried grass, waste paper, melon shell, saw dust and sugarcane bagasse. The analysis was conducted at room temperature of 25oC and 0.2µ/m filter unit was used in transferring the dispersed mixture into a plastic cuvette. The Z – average and poly disparity index (PDI) reveals homogeneity, which are 135.2 nm and 0.453 respectively. Carbonized MSW has potential application in carbon nanotubes industry as conductors of electricity, heat generation and fuel cells
