A critical evaluation of the Solid Waste Management System in selected wards of Jangipur Municipality within the Murshidabad District, West Bengal, India
Municipal solid waste (MSW), commonly known as garbage, refuses or rubbish, is waste consisting of everyday items that are discarded by the public. Rapid urbanisation in India accelerates the generation of MSW, thereby producing major problems with its disposal. Improper handling of MSW creates environmental and health related hazards. In this paper an attempt is made to evaluate the solid waste management within the Jangipur Municipality, a cantonment town of West Bengal. This paper portrays MSW generation, its collection, as well as the attention of local self-government to spreading diseases. The paper also highlights the issues and challenges related to MSW, while trying try to find out some scientific treatment for solid waste management.
