PREFACEWaste Management poses manifold challenges. Most local governments and urbanagencies have, time and again, identified particularly solid waste management as amajor problem that has reached proportions requiring drastic measures.We can observe three key trends with respect to solid waste:• Increase in shear volume of waste generated by urban residents• Change in the quality or make-up of waste generated, and• The disposal/method of waste collected, by land-fill, incineration etc.It is critical to adopt a broad approach in developing a working framework for solidwaste management (SWM). This covers the social, economic, technology, politicaland administrative dimensions. For instance the social dimension of SWM involveswaste minimization; the economic dimension of SWM involves waste recycling; thetechnology dimension of SWM involves waste disposal; and the political andadministrative dimensions cuts across all the three issues of minimization, recyclingand disposal.‘ S’ for Solid‘ W’ for Waste‘ M’ for ManagementBut SWM is not an isolated phenomenon that can be easily compartmentalized andsolved with innovative technology or engineering. It is particularly an urban issuethat is closely related, directly or indirectly, to a number of issues such as urbanlifestyles, resource consumption patterns, jobs and income levels, and other socioeconomicand cultural issues. All these issues have to be brought together on acommon platform in order to ensure a long-term solution to Solid waste.Having completed seven sensitisation workshops across different metros &mini-metros cities like:Garbage truck blast,blaze remind thatyou can't throwjust anything in the trash• Mumbai • Chennai • Hyderabad • Kolkata • Guwahati • Pune • Ahmedabad
