Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) is a nutrient source for plants and as soil
conditioner is the most cost effectives option of MSW management because of its
advantages over traditionalism means such as landfilling or incineration.
Agricultural application of MSW could leads to a potential environmentally
threat due to the presence of pathogens and toxic pollutants. Composting is an

1.1 WASTE
Waste is garbage rubbish, trash, and junk is unwanted or undesired material,
contains of different types of waste. It could exist as a solid, liquid, or gas or as
waste heat. The wastes could be referred to as emissions, when released in the latter
two states. Its usually strongly linked with pollution. Waste may also be intangible
in the case of wasted time or wasted opportunities. The term waste implies things,
which have been used inefficiently or inappropriately.
Some waste component could be recycled once recovered from the waste stream,
e.g. plastic bottles, metals, glass or paper. The biodegradable component of wastes
(e.g. paper & food waste) can be composted or anaerobically digested to produce
soil improvers and renewable fuels. If it is not dealt with sustainably in this manner
biodegradable waste can contribute to greenhouse gas emissions and by implication
climate change.
Waste have two main definitions whereas One view comes from the individual or
organization producing the material, the second is the view of Government, and is
set out in different acts of waste legislation. The two have to combine to ensure the
safe and legal disposal of the waste.
1.2 MANAGEMENT
The process of and/or the personnel leading and directing all or part of an
organization (often a business) through the deployment and manipulation of
resources (human, financial, material, intellectual or intangible) are known as
Management.
The Oxford English Dictionary states, the word "manage" come from the Italian
manage are (to handle especially a horse), which in turn derives from the Latin
minus (hand). The French word managements (later management) influenced the
development in meaning of the English word management in the 17th and 18th
centuries.
In India, solid waste generation is about 115,000 tons per day with a yearly
Researcher studies reveal that the per capita generation rate increases with
the size of the city and varies between 0.3 to 0.6 kg/day in the metropolitan areas,
values up to 0.5 kg / capita / day have been recorded. The estimated annual
increase in per capita waste quantity is about 1.33% per year.
The eleventh Five Year Plan has envisaged an investment of Rs. 2,212
A key driver of solid waste management include Legal drivers (e.g. laws and
regulations), Regional and international drivers (e.g. solid waste flow as recyclable
resources), Socioeconomic drivers (e.g. population trends and public awareness),
Technology development and institutional drivers (e.g. available technologies). Of
these, the socio-economic drivers seem to be merging as a key driver for SWM.
This estimated that a solid waste generated in smallest, medium and large cities
and towns in India is about 0.1 kg, 0.3 0.4 kg and 0.5 kg per capita per day
respectively. By Studies carring out by National Environmental Engineering
Research Institute (NEERI) indicated that the per capita generation rate increases
with the size of the city and varies between 0.3 to 0.6 kg/day in the metropolitan
areas, values up to 0.5 kg / capita / day have been recorded. The estimated annual
increase in per capita waste quantity is about 1.33% per year.
The schematic sketch above illustrates the steps carried out in managing solid
waste in India. According to Indias constitution, Solid Waste Management (SWM)
falls within the purview of the state government. The activities are entrusted to
Urban Local Bodies through state legislations. In most of the Indian cities, the
MSW collection, segregation, transportation, processing and disposal is carried out
by the respective municipal corporations and the state governments enforce
regulatory policies.
