From the down of the industrial revolution the human community has constantly producing a vast amount of relatively substances.This included refuse from food stuffs,various chemical substances and many kinds of packaging.These kinds of substances can be categorized as solid waste as waste cannot be put in to any practical use it was a traditional ritual which involved the collecting and dumping the waste into may be ones neighbors back yard.this would have solved the problem had the population density been low,but in a small country these measure is hardly practical.Hence waste management has become one of the most acute problems in our country today
Before one attempts to solve such a serious problem it is wise to get a rough idea of the composition of waste In our locality almost 80% of waste or organic substances which bio degrade almost automatically. A bout 10%-or 15% non recyclable plastic are present in the waste which poses the most threat to the environment and the balance is made up of recyclable materials such as paper ,glass and many metal items.
A proper waste management system should be initiated in ones home. The 1 st stage of the process is reduction.This can be done by following a few guide lines

1) Carrying your own bag when going shopping insted of buying a bag each and every time you visit the shop
2) Refusing to buy items which have too many wrappers.
3) Refusing from buying products in plastic packages.

Following these guidelines will certainly reduce the volume of waste (non recyclable) emitted to the environment.Reusing bags or bottles will help reduce quantity of waste while the recycling process can also be helpful.In order to have a recycling process a method of collection of recyclable items should be formed .A good example is the paper & bottle collector system in which is the costumer is paid for the quantity of refuse collected & the collector is paid for his load at a collection center .This is a most successful method of collection..Ones the materials is collected it can be put in to the recycling process.
The next stage of waste management is the treatment of waste.All the waste should be collected and transported to a treatment plant,where after a separation of recyclable materiel the balance can be either incinerated of biologically processed .Since the local waste comprises of about 80% Organic matter is it rather unprofitable to have incineration facilities which is also costly. But the biological process can be considered the ideal method of waste treatment.This involved micro-organism which survive on this waste having to
digest the waste.Such a method is not only cost effective but also a clean method of treatment.Another way of treatment is composting which is quite cheep & also leaves you with a high quality manure .Even after these processes we are left with about 10% of waste which can neither be recycled nor put to any other method of management .Therefor this reminder has to go in to a land fill.The reminder should be taken to the land fill site and dumped the dump area should be covered with a layer of earth which helps reduce the small & leaves a clean look at end of the day.
Following this process can help reduce the waste and also provide an environmentally friendly method of solid waste management.This will not only be an answer to a growing need of land hill sides of so let us all wake up and give a helping hand in managing this acute problem in order to presence the beauty of this country and the whole world for the future generations to experience.
