Abstract
The article summarizes the growing burden of solid wastes across the world and closer in relation to the Bhubaneswar city. Rapid urbanization and human habitation is not matched with efficient solid waste handling and disposal. This is posing a serious threat to environment and even becoming the root cause of spread of infectious diseases as well as reemerging diseases. The review opens up the pandora box of the types of waste, how they need to be segregated and legislations and policies that have evolved to manage this issue. Of late newer forms of solid waste like e-waste and construction waste are also being added. A wide public as well as political awareness and urgent action is needed to prevent environmental damage and calamities.
