Solid Waste Management

In India, the generation of solid waste - industrial, hazardous waste, and biomedical waste has been increasing due to population growth, life style changes and economic development. On the other hand, our response to waste management has not kept pace with the increasing quantities of waste resulting in

  • (A) a high proportion of uncollected waste
  • (B) Poor standards of transportation, storage, treatment and disposal.

As our cities grow in size and population, we are facing huge problems as generation of plastic waste and disposal. There are various solid waste management and disposal methods are now being used to resolve these problems. Garbage generation in household can be recycled and reused to prevent creation of waste at source and reducing the amount of waste thrown into the community dustbins. Because of this solid waste management is essential.
