What is Solid Waste-Solid waste can be regarded as refuse or waste from any

kind of source..

-Any material which is not needed by the owner, producer or processor.

Statistics of Solid Waste in IndiaIn 1981-2015 municipal solid waste has grown from 3200 tonnes to 7355 tonnes.Waste collection is very low for all Indian cities.

Estimated waste generation is 1,00,000 MT/day.

Per capita waste generation ranges between 0.20 to 0.60 kg.

Local authorities spend less 5% of their budget on waste disposal and maximum cost is incurred on street sweeping and collection and transportation of waste.
