Waste management is all those activities and actions required to manage waste from its inception to its final disposal. Increase in volume and types of solid waste have become an unmanageable problem for national and local governments. It has come to be a major challenge for all developing economies. Waste mountains have come to be a regular scene in many cities around the world, especially in the developing world. According to latest World Waste Survey Report, some 4 billion tonnes of municipal, industrial and hazardous waste are produced every year globally. It is estimated that the world market for waste, from collection to recycling, is worth about $410 billion a year. Waste management used to be considered a public good, where municipal authorities provided this service. However municipal authorities alone cannot deal with the challenge of managing waste in today’s world, owing to rapid rise in solid waste creation. Waste management is an emerging field that offers entrepreneurial opportunities. Future waste management offers many business opportunities for the private sector such as: waste-collection/disposal services; operation of recycling plant; e-waste recycling; Consultancy; equipment supply; organic fertilizer manufacturing; transportation; trade in recycled materials. Hence there is a need to study characteristics of employment in the waste management industry.
