Waste management is considered to be closely associated with sustainable development. This paper highlights that traditional systems for waste disposal and recycling are no longer appropriate. Many developing and emerging countries are facing major challenge in improving their inadequate and unsustainable waste management systems. Soil, air and water pollution are continuously posing risk to sustainable development. The paper emphasized that waste must no longer be deposited in residential areas and uncontrolled landfills. Waste management hierarchy has been described in the present study to deal with waste disposal problems. Further, benefits of opting sustainable waste management strategies as well as challenges in the area of waste disposal are also covered by the authors. It is identified that sustainable waste management provides a suitable decision in adopting a methodology for reducing waste with the involvement of all stakeholders in a community.
