The term “solid waste management” refers to the procedure for gathering, handling, and getting rid of solid wastes. All non-liquid wastes are referred to as solid waste here. Wastes from the home, the farm, or even industry can all be included under this head.

There are various methods of managing solid waste, such as landfilling, burning, composting, vermicomposting, recycling, etc.

Pollution of surface water or groundwater may result from improper collection and disposal of solid waste. It is crucial that this garbage be treated properly because this could result in serious issues if the waste contains harmful materials and is consumed by the society in any manner.

All types of waste are burned until all that is left is ash, gas, and heat. Whereas many people still believe that gas produced by burning is harmful to the environment, contemporary incinerators actually sift out pollutants, releasing purely fresh air. In order to eliminate fly ash and gaseous impurities, modern incinerators come equipped with air pollution control technology (such as fabric filters, scrubbers, and electrostatic precipitators). By decreasing a community’s solid waste to around 10% of its initial volume through incineration, waste disposal is facilitated.
