3. Introduction To Solid Waste
Solid waste refers to the range of garbage materials—
arising from animal and human activities—that are
discarded as unwanted and useless. Solid waste is
generated from industrial, residential, and commercial
activities in a given area, and may be handled in
various ways. As such, landfills are typically classified
as sanitary, municipal, construction and demolition, or
industrial waste sites.
•According to a report by The Energy and
Resources Institute (TERI), India generates over 62
million tons (MT) of waste annually. Only 43 MT of
total waste generated gets collected, 12 MT is
treated before disposal, and the remaining 31 MT is
simply discarded in waste yards.

5. Types of Solid Waste
Municipal Solid Waste
This type of waste is generated
by households, businesses,
and institutions. It consists of
everyday items such as food
scraps, packaging, and paper
Industrial Waste
Industrial activities generate
waste from manufacturing
processes, such as chemicals,
scrap metal, and leftover
materials.
Construction and
Demolition Waste
Construction and demolition
projects generate waste from
building materials, such as
concrete, wood, and metal.
Hazardous Waste
Hazardous waste poses a
threat to human health and
the environment, including
materials like batteries, paints,
and pesticides.

6. Municipal solid waste (MSW) is everyday waste that comes from households, businesses, and
institutions:
•Household waste: Waste from homes, hotels, motels, and other similar housing
•Commercial/retail waste: Waste from businesses and retail establishments
•Institutional waste: Waste from schools, hospitals, and other institutions

7. Municipal solid waste (MSW) management
is a systematic process for collecting, storing,
transporting, and disposing of solid waste
from cities and towns. It also involves
resource recovery and processing, and
developing ways to reduce and prevent
waste.
