Abstract
This paper examines some issues associated with the centralised waste management system and the ways in which urban local bodies tackled the resistance against centralised waste management. The study is based on a sample survey of 175 households located in the landfill sites connected with two Municipal Corporations, viz. Thrissur and Kochi. The study observed that the local government resists change in solid waste management. When the resistance is strong alternative methods like decentralised waste management are chosen; and where the resistance is weak there is a tendency to maintain the centralised waste management system.
