In a developing country like India systematic solid waste management is growing at snail’s pace. It is accountable for a series of problems such as low sanitation level, air pollution, water pollution, environmental degradation and lot of health issues to humans and animals. As a densely populated state, those issues are intensive in Kerala. Highly populated municipalities of Kerala are suffocating for a properly managed solid waste system. The study compares the two major municipalities in Pathanamthitta district of the state, Pathanamthitta and Thiruvalla in respect of negative impact of improper solid waste management. It tries to bring out the which municipality performs better and which one weaker with reference to environmental pollution, air pollution, water pollution, noise pollution and health issues. The study reveals that with respect to air pollution and eye disease Thiruvalla is comparatively more affected and in all other cases Pathanamthitta Municipality is more affected.
