INTRODUCTION
Solid Waste Management is one of the essential obligatory functions of the urban local
bodies in India. Population explosion, coupled with improved life style of people, results in
increased generation of solid waste in urban as well as rural areas of the country. At present,
the municipal solid waste disposal methods followed in many of the cities and towns are
unsystematic & unscientific and involve dumping in low lying areas. Most of the disposal
sites are just uncontrolled dumps where a mixture of domestic, commercial, industrial and
hospital wastes is thrown away at the dumping sites. Apart from creating air pollution,
ground water contamination & soil contamination, open dumping of wastes generally
becomes breeding ground for various dreadful disease causing pathogens and vectors ,
particularly in the vicinity of the disposal sites. Further, with increasing awareness of public
on environmental and health issues, there is a general opinion that the standard of services
with respect to collection and disposal of municipal solid waste is progressively declining. It
is also true in many cities as half of the solid waste generated remains unattended. The
objective of Solid Waste (SW) Management is to maintain clean and hygienic conditions and
reduce the quantity of SW which has to be disposed of in sanitary landfill Facility (SLF)
after recovery of waste materials and energy from it.
Solid Waste Management is a part of public health and sanitation, and according to the Indian
Constitution, falls within the purview of the State list. Since this activity is non-exclusive,
non-rivalled and essential, the responsibility for providing the services lies within the public
domain. The activity being of a local nature is entrusted to the Urban local bodies. The Urban
local Body undertakes the task of solid waste service delivery, with its own staff, equipment
and funds. In a few cases, part of the said work is contracted out to private enterprises.

HISTORY
Throughout most of history the amount of waste generated by humans was insignificant due
to low population density and low societal levels of the exploitation of nature resources.
Common waste produce during pre- modern times was mainly ashes and human
biodegradable waste and these were released back in to the ground locally with minimum
environmental impact. Tools made out of wood or metal were generally reused or passed
down through the generations. However, some civilizations do seem to have been more
profligate in their waste output than others. In particular, the Maya of central America had a
fixed monthly ritual, in which the people of the village would gather together and burn their
rubbish in large dumps.
