Waste materials are generated by all types of human activities which are generally discarded as useless, unwanted. Normally these wastes are solid. Many among these have the potentiality to be reused, and there is possibility of the same to be reused in further production of goods for consumption. Sources of solid wastes’ generation in any community are related to land use and zoning. Waste management has become one of the important problems of our time due to its’ increasing amounts as a consequence of development witnessed in our country after independence. In order to assuage the issue, present government came out with the Solid Waste Rules, 2016 along with some others rules to tackle the waste issues related to plastic, e-waste, construction and demolition waste and medical waste. One of the most important aspects of Solid Waste (SM) Rules, 2016 is the segregation of the same at the level of the generator and not down the stream. In order to test the efficacy of this principle of segregation at generator’s level, the present study was taken up in few areas of Gurugram. Here the study and the findings about Sector 38 in Gurugram is presented. The study attempts to find why people at large do not segregate the waste before disposing it off.
