Solid waste management is a worldwide phenomenon. Improper management of solid waste (SW) causes hazards to inhabitants. It is a big challenge all over world for human beings. Jaipur’s rapid development has resulted in its infrastructure lagging behind population and industrial growth, which is especially evident in the unsightly and unsanitary piles of solid waste (garbage) on the roads. This study discloses that how the system is carried out, some obstacles to its success, and the role of Public Private Partnerships (PPPs). The findings indicate that there is a multiple-tiered hierarchical system. The system involves a formal sector comprised of female and male sweepers, permanent and impermanent workers, and an informal sector of rag pickers and door-to door collectors, door-to-door recyclers, NGOs, and private companies. A comprehensive study was done regarding collection, transportation, handling, storage, disposal and treatment of solid generated in Jaipur city. This study discloses that there is no proper mechanism in the city for treatment of solid waste generated, this leads to dumping of waste in open areas which affects Environment as well as humans living in that vicinity. It was observed that there was a huge gap in making policies and implementing the rules at the ground level. The study of municipal solid waste management (MSWM) in Jaipur city adopted a structured approach to identify the current status of MSWM which included key stakeholders like communities, informal sector, municipal authorities and private entrepreneurs. The study incorporated a stepwise approach, following the trail of municipal solid waste (MSW) i.e. from its generation, segregation, collection, storage, transportation to disposal. The methodology involves primary and secondary data collection to find out the current situation of municipal solid waste management (MSWM). From the study it was found that the Jaipur Municipal Corporation (JMC) is not following the standard procedure of handling MSW. JMC gives priority to few areas while handling the MSW in comparison to others which further deteriorates the situation of MSWM.
