p.54-60 Volume. I, Issue.III, November 2013
Municipal Solid waste management constitutes a serious problem in many Third World cities. Most cities do not collect the totality of wastes generated, and of the wastes collected, only a fraction receives proper disposal. The insufficient collection and inappropriate disposal of solid wastes represent a source of water, land and air pollution, and pose risks to human health and the environment. Among all the wastes (solid, liquid and gas), solid waste is the most popular and most difficult to manage locally. This is because solid waste does not flow, evaporate, diffuse, dissolve or be absorbed into the surrounding unlike liquid and gaseous wastes. This is the effort of a detailed investigation regarding the methods of practices associated with sources, composition, quantity generated, collection, transportation, waste treatment and disposal of municipal solid waste in the Thodupuzha.
