Waste management is an essential task of any eco system, which has important consequences for public health and well-being, the quality and productivity of the urban economy and hence successful implementation of sustainable solid waste management requires cooperation of all stakeholders to practice segregation at source in line with principles of waste hierarchy ‘Reduce, Reuse, Recycle and Recovery’.
