Several studies and researches have been conducted on the segregation of solid wastes and proper management of waste to handle the adverse effect of inappropriate disposal. The present paper uses a descriptive approach to gather information from peer reviewed publications such as journal articles, environmental organizations reports and books. There is a need to clearly define what constitute solid wastes as this form the basis for regulation as segregation of solid waste continues to be a severe problem in India due to poor management and lack of knowledge among people. People are struggling to implement an affordable and sustainable model of management. The generation of waste is increasing every day especially in urban areas where population is growing at an annual rate of 1.05 per cent. The yearly increase in the overall quantity of solid waste is about 5 per cent. It is well understood that segregation improves collection and processing efficiency and lies at the heart of good waste management. But better infrastructure and strict compliance systems is required to ensure segregation. There is need to ensure that segregated waste is transported and processed properly. There should also be some bye-laws that support segregation. We recognize that there is still a lot that needs to go into adopting sustainable waste management regimes in our surroundings.
