Waste management and segregation is a much-needed process in metro cities and urban areas due to spreading of diseases. It is estimated that India produces 42.0 million tons of municipal solid waste annually at present. Waste lying littered in the surrounding, dumped on open lands, becomes a major problem for various types of disease-causing bacteria and viruses hence, segregation, transport, handling and disposal of waste must be managed properly to minimize the risks of the public and environment.
