Integrated Solid Waste Management

The term “solid waste management” is used to describe the process of collecting, processing, and ultimately getting rid of unwanted or unused solid objects. The proper handling of municipal solid trash is a crucial part of running a modern city. Pollution of the environment and the spread of diseases spread by vectors may result from improper management of municipal solid waste. The job of managing solid waste is fraught with technological difficulties. They also raise several economic, administrative, and social issues that must be addressed immediately. Households, farms, factories, mines, restaurants, hotels, highways, railroads, schools, clinics, tourist attractions, etc., are all big contributors to the nation’s garbage problem. Solid waste includes trash made of plastic. Proper waste management prevents inorganic and non-biodegradable garbage from polluting the environment. Water contamination, air pollution and land pollution are all possible outcomes of improper waste management. Garbage recycling is feasible with efficient garbage collection and management. Recycling waste streams like glass, plastic, and paper into distinct streams allows for more efficient use of raw materials in the production of new products. In addition, the health of humans and marine life is put at risk when this trash isn’t recycled and instead goes to landfills or the sea.
