Developing a Community Based Decentralized Approach to Solid
Waste Management Introduction The Capital of
India has gained the dubious distinction of becoming the largest source
of solid waste generation in terms of average household size and
population density in the country. Delhi, according to a recent
survey, is among the high waste generating cities owing to its
rapid rate of growth, mushrooming of unauthorised colonies, slums and
high level of inward migration - report The Hindu Modern
technology has undoubtedly provided copious advantages, but
simultaneously has also generated large quantities of waste which
is discarded in the name of garbage. Not only industrial waste
but even domestic waste is today just disposed and not
handled Solid waste management has emerged as one of the biggest
challenges today in urban India. The municipal bodies have been
unable to adjust to the rapid changes that have led to both increased
quantities and changes in the composition of the waste. The current
situation, which gives rise to the indiscriminate dumping and burning
of wastes, has a serious impact on air, land and water pollution
and causes a dramatic increase in health hazards in the urban
environment. Today the world is moving towards Zero Waste
Management. There are cases where countries are starting to adopt
Zero Waste Goals as policy measures. Objectives of the Training: The

objectives: clarity on the concepts related to
