Abstract
Abstract Municipal solid waste management is an important environmental concern of the new era. The fast-evolvinglifestyles of the people, rapid population growth and industrialization, and a certain amount of unawareness and negligence on the part of the public add to the MSW management issues. Many studies indicated that a greater amount of municipal solid waste is not effectively managed. An efficient management of municipal solid waste is therefore called for to protect the public and environment from waste hazards. The current paper proposes to offer a holistic view of efficient practices for municipal solid waste management in Telangana. An online survey has been conducted with the help of Google Formsusing social media platforms like WhatsApp, Facebook, and Snapchat to understand the concerns of the society about proper methods of Municipal Solid Waste Management in Telangana. The number of responses received is 219 in a total of 32 districts in Telangana state. Statistical analysis has been carried out with the help of the Chi-square test at a 5% level of significance to identify the existence of a significant relation between Municipal Solid Waste management aspects and the demographic variables namely gender and place of residence.
