Abstract The purpose of this study was to assess the level of solid waste management awareness, practices and willingness to participate in various solid waste management activities at the local level. Overall awareness and practice level among the residents was found significantly high and around 95% people thinks it is the responsibility of the individual to segregate and manage the waste properly. Only 11% of the respondents are satisfied with current waste management infrastructure in their community and suggested for establishment of more Government owned waste collecting and recycling units. The current waste management systems in south Delhi is incapable of dealing with the high volume of waste generated by the expanding population. An effective solid waste management system is required for the maintenance of environmental and public health. So, some awareness campaign through social media and training programmes are suggested to be conducted for proper collection, segregation, treatment and disposal of solid waste.
