Journal Title: International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology (IJRASET) - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 5
Abstract
Municipal Solid waste management (MSWM) is one of the most challenging issues in India than elsewhere at the global level. The present investigation is a case study of Dharapuram Municipality, Tirupur District Tamilnadu, the main fast growing town in Tirupur District, which succumbs to a major problem of municipal solid waste and its management. This paper presents an overview of the base line studies of Dharapuram Municipality, solid waste collection and landfill disposal. Population growth, industrialization, urbanization and modern development leads to more generation of municipal solid waste in all cities. In this work, the population growth and its greater impact on solid waste generation and management are also studied through various literatures. The case study was conducted for two seasons like summer (May) and winter season (December) to collect the uniform data. This paper also summarizes the proposed policies and suggestions to improve the existing MSW management system in Dharapuram Municipality
