India generates over 160,000 tonnes of solid waste daily, and managing this waste effectively is a growing concern. Most cities struggle with inadequate collection, segregation, and disposal systems. A large portion of waste ends up in landfills, leading to air, soil, and water pollution. Informal workers play a big role in recycling, but they often lack support. Addressing these issues requires better infrastructure, public awareness, and stricter enforcement of waste rules. Improving waste management in India is crucial for public health and sustainable development.
