Abstract

Municipal Solid Waste Management (MSWM) is a big problem Indian cities are facing these days. Total waste generated by the cities is around 135198.27 ton/day. This review paper aims in providing a comprehensive review of the characteristics, generation, collection, transportation, disposal, and treatability of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) in the cities, through a collection of secondary data from Government agencies, Interviewing Stakeholders, and Questionnaire Survey and technologies for the effective management of MSW in the cities. The paper also aims at proving various types of waste generated by the cities and their major source of generation, and its composition and source segregation. The paper also presents the current status of solid waste management, waste generation rate, collection efficiencies, refuse derived fuel, waste to energy, and recycling initiatives taken by various cities of India and prospects of introducing improved means of disposing and treating MSW for achieving sustainable management of waste in the cities.
