Journal Title: International Journal of Physical and Social Sciences (IJPSS) - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 5
Abstract
Waste management or Waste disposal is all the activities and actions required to manage waste from its inception to its final disposal. This includes amongst other things, collection, transport, treatment and disposal of waste together with monitoring and regulation. It also encompasses the legal and regulatory framework that relates to waste management encompassing guidance on recycling etc.The term normally relates to all kinds of waste, whether generated during the extraction of raw materials, the processing of raw materials into intermediate and final products, the consumption of final products or other human activities, including municipal, agricultural and social. Waste management is intended to reduce adverse effects of waste on health, the environment or aesthetics.In India, the collection, transportation and disposal of MSW are unscientific and chaotic. Uncontrolled dumping of wastes on outskirts of towns and cities has created overflowing landfills, which are not only impossible to reclaim because of the haphazard manner of dumping but also have serious environmental implications in terms of ground water pollution and contribution to global warming. This paper analyses the possibilities for public/private partnership using the different types of waste management into the employment opportunities. The paper discusses necessary conditions for harnessing optimal benefits from this arrangement.
