Integrated solid waste management (ISWM) in its simplest sense incorporates the waste management hierarchy by considering direct impacts (transportation, collection, treatment and disposal of waste) and indirect impacts (use of waste materials and energy outside the waste management system). The solid waste management in Mysuru city appears to be inadequate and needs upgradation. Solid waste has to be disposed off scientifically through sanitary landfill and recyclable portion of the waste should be salvaged. More emphasis needs to be laid on segregation and collection of waste at door step. Segregation of recyclable material from mixed waste not only is tedious but also wasteful, therefore the residents should be sensitized towards the importance of segregation of wastes at source.
