Solid waste management involves the generation, prevention, monitoring, treatment, reuse and disposal of solid wastes. There are various methods for solid waste disposal including controlled landfilling, incineration, composting, and dumping waste into designated bins for biodegradable and non-biodegradable materials. Practicing the 3R's - reduce, reuse and recycle - is also important for effective solid waste management.

2. WHAT IS SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT?
Solid waste management is the generation, prevention,
characterization, monitoring, treatment, handling,
reuse and residual disposition of solid wastes. There are
various types of solid waste including municipal
(residential, institutional, commercial), agricultural,
and special (health care, household hazardous wastes,
sewage sludge).

4. METHOD OF DISPOSAL
A. CONTROLLED
TIPPING/SANITORY LANDFILL-
The disposal of waste material by
burying it, especially as a method
of filling in and reclaiming
excavated pits
B. INCINERATION/COMBUSTION-
Incineration is a waste treatment
process that involves the
combustion of organic substances
contained in waste materials.
C. COMPOSTING- A mixture of
decayed or decaying organic
matter used to fertilize soil.

5. D. DUMPING: Dump the solid waste according
to nature of waste into allotted waste bins
i.e. Biodegradable waste in green bins and
non biodegradable waste in blue bin.
E. Following the 3R’s initiated i.e. :
I. REUSE-To reuse is to use an item again
after it has been used. This includes
conventional reuse where the item is used
again for the same function, and
creative reuse where it is used for a
different function.
II. REDUCE-Reduction of wastage to a
minimum amount. This can be achieved by
usage of bio-degradable goods instead of
non bio-degradable goods.
III. RECYCLE-Recycling is the process of
converting waste materials into reusable
objects to prevent waste of potentially
useful materials.
