Summary
Solid waste (SW) can be defined as the material that no longer has any value to the person who is responsible for it and is not intended to be discharged through a pipe. The SW becomes free of flies, insects and other disease-carrying vectors This provides better working conditions and reduces the chances of smoke, fire and explosion hazards at the dump yards as the production of methane is reduced by this. Graph 1: Green recycling process throw this waste into streets, roads and at other public places, which attracts flies, insects, rats etc., which helps in spreading the diseases. Pucca Bagh: A random survey was conducted for 150 persons in the Pucca Bagh area This area is located in centre of Jalandhar city where proper SW management is performed.
