Now a days in the urban and semi urban areas the typical solid waste disposal and dumping the same is difficult due to skyscraping prices of the land. Therefore the there is need to curtail the land requirement for dumping the solid waste. The curtailment in land is possible if we reduce the volume of solid waste before its final disposal. The segregation of solid waste allows us to categories the waste into two broad categories i.e. degradable and non-degradable waste. But, if during segregation we identify and separate out the value added products from the available solid waste which allows the further reduction in the waste volume. The Indian solid waste mostly has a blend of dry plastic, paper, aluminum, empty beverage containers, glass and other metals along with wet waste like vegetables, meals, fruits etc. The separation of the dry material in proper class of classification will facilitate the income source to the persons involved in collection of solid waste within a town.
This research study will involve to identify the current waste management practicesDaund City to understand the collection and disposal system in the town to recover the cash and value added products. The study also involves the environmental impacts of current practices. This article aims to reduce the volume of waste generated before final disposal of available solid waste and economic up gradation of the bottom line personnel involved in it.
