Solid Waste Management is defined as the discipline associated with control of generation, storage, collection, transport or transfer, processing and disposal of solid waste materials in a way that best addresses the range of public health, conservation, economics, aesthetic, engineering and other environmental considerations. The primary goal of SWM is reducing and eliminating adverse impacts of waste materials on human health and environment to support economic development and superior quality of life. Today Solid Waste Management is an aggravating problem in urban areas of our country due to rapid population growth, coupled by an economic boom that encourages the consumption of goods and hence waste generation. The local governing bodies namely municipalities and municipal corporations are responsible for providing SWM services in the urban areas. In most of the urban areas, insufficient funds, use of obsolete and/or inefficient technologies, lack of public awareness, and proper infrastructure had resulted in poor state of SWM. All this is changing with launching of new initiatives such as the Swachh Bharat Mission-Urban, publishing of Solid Waste Management Rules, 2016 and organizing Swachh Survekshan. Lucknow city with a population of 34 lakhs is adding up to 50% additional generation of waste i.e. 1812 TPD in the last 20 years. There is improper disposal of solid waste in the city.
