Present paper describes the basic principles of solid waste management i.e., refuse, reduce, reuse and recycle. Different treatments are applied for different types of solid wastes. The solid waste should be treated in as decentralized manner as possible. Storage of organic or biodegradable and inorganic or non-biodegradable solid waste should be in different bins. The entire operation of solid waste management (SWM) system is performed under four headings, namely, street cleansing, collection, transportation and disposal.
