Solid Waste management

Waste is unwanted material left over after the completion of a process. Waste may be in the form of solid, liquid, or even gas. When released into air it causes air pollution, when released into water it forms water pollution and when released into land then it forms soil/land pollution. If any individual produce pollution in the form of gar or liquid then it is called emission and when released in the form of solid then the concept of solid waste arises.

Solid waste management is literally the process of managing of solid waste. It involves the collection, transport, processing and disposal of waste materials. Historically, the aim of waste management has been to prevent or reduce the impact of waste on human health or local amenity.

Waste management practices are often very difficult between urban and rural areas, and residential and industrial/commercial procedures, even within the same local region. Waste management for non-hazardous commercial and industrial wastes is usually the responsibility of the generator. The management and composition of waste materials are quite difficult in developed nations, for a number of reasons.

Solid waste management is one of the major environmental problems faced by all the urban areas of Nepal. The rapid growth of population, urbanization and industrialization has significantly changed the volume and types of waste generated. The uncontrolled handling system of solid wastes in public places such as roadsides, river banks, lake-shores, wetlands etc. has resulted in the solid waste as distinct urban environmental problem.
