Nagpur is emerging as a mega city of population around 45 million is beset with problems of urban influx, inadequate infrastructure and management. Nagpur city being a densely populated with rapid growth of urbanization industrialization and wide spheres of human activities facing these problems immensely. The present municipal solid waste 800 generation in Nagpur city is approximately metric tonnes/day.

However, still the deficiencies are observed in the proper planning of solid waste management which urgently needs to be accounted for corrective measures generally open dumping. In this paper, an attempt is made to evaluate the major parameters of MSW, in addition to a comprehensive review of MSW generation, its characterization and treatment options as practiced. The broad recommendations include segregation of Solid waste at the source and in the site of waste collection, regular collection of solid waste, removal of solid waste dumps on road sides etc. It is for this reason it was thought worthwhile to carry out a systemic study of solid waste characterization and generation and if possible remediate measures for its control with few recommendation.
