Purpose: To create awareness about utilization of waste Methodology: Survey of utilization of garbage at international level with special reference to Pimpri Chinchwad area of PuneFindings:  Garbage can is utilized for making manure, vermin compost, generating electricity, etc.Social/ Academic Implications: Clean India Green IndiaOriginality/Novelty of article:  Recycling of all types of garbage for fruitful utilization.The beginning of civilization led to development around river banks. Things could be managed during those days as people lived in harmony with nature. The scenario changed with industrialization which started creating havoc at the end of 19th century when the industrial revolution took the world of the consumer by leaps and bounds, which led to the concentration of population packets in and around the industrial areas. This rapid change in the development brought forth many challenges before the planning authorities especially the provision of basic amenities and hygienic place of living. The biggest challenge before the administration was and is to manage the waste generated by this large population. The solid waste generation has become a continuous global problem at all levels throughout the world. [1]

Purpose Due to the increasing population and prosperity, the generation rate of municipal solid waste (MSW) has increased significantly, resulting in serious problems on public health and the environment. Every single person in the world is affected by the municipal solid waste management (MSWM) issue. MSWM is reaching a critical level in almost all areas of the world and seeking the development of MSW strategies for a sustainable environment. This paper aims to present the existing global status of MSW generation, composition, management and related problems. Design/methodology/approach A total of 59 developed and developing countries have been grouped based on their gross national income to compare the status of various MSWM technologies among them. A total of 19 selection criteria have been discussed to select appropriate MSWM technology(s) for a city/town, which affects their applicability, operational suitability and performance. All risks and challenges arising during the life cycle of the waste to energy (WtE) project have also been discussed. This paper also gives a comparative overview of different globally accepted MSWM technologies and the present market growth of all WtE technologies. Findings It was found that most developed countries have effectively implemented the solid waste management (SWM) hierarchy and are now focusing heavily on reducing, reusing and recycling of MSW. On the other hand, SWM has become very serious in low-income and low-middle-income countries because most of the MSW openly dumps and most countries are dependent on inadequate waste infrastructure and the informal sector. There are also some other major challenges related to effective waste policies, availability of funds, appropriate technology selection and adequacy of trained people. This study clears the picture of MSW generation, composition, management strategies and policies at the worldwide context. This manuscript could be valuable for all nations around the world where effective MSWM has not yet been implemented. Originality/value This study clears the picture of solid waste generation, composition, management strategies and policies at the worldwide context. This manuscript could be valuable for all nations around the world where effective MSWM has not yet been implemented. In this study, no data was generated. All supporting data were obtained from previously published papers in journals, the outcomes of the international conferences and published reports by government organizations.

The problem of urban solid waste management is regarded as one of the most important environmental issues, especially in developing countries. Municipalities all around the world are dealing with increasing levels of solid garbage and need to devise effective strategies to tackle the problem. It is critical to understand the amount of garbage created and the makeup of the waste stream in order to develop successful waste management in any location. Many research have established that the amount of waste generated is proportional to the population. There are several other factors which affect the amount and composition of waste. The enormous increase in solid waste generation particularly in large cities will have significant impact in terms of the land required for waste disposal

European Industrial Revolution in the eighteenth century brought great changes not only in Europe itself but also in other parts of the world including Indonesia which was used to be a country of Dutch colony. The invention of steam-powered ships triggered the Dutch to use steam-powered vessels as the alteration of yachts, wind-powered ships, in the 19th century. At the beginning, the steam-powered ships used rotating wheels in the left and right side; however, the ships finally used ordinary windmills or propellers. The decrease and the lack of this production was getting worsened the competition of other producer countries in world market and the unstable coal market and in crisis year in 1930, Pulau Laut Mining Company production dropped so that it was closed down in the same year.

Solid waste management in any large urban city like Lahore requires special disposal measures. In thisregard, Lakhodair landfill and Mehmood booti dump sites collect and handle major bulk of all the solid waste comingfrom ten towns of Lahore, with the city’s waste generation rate of being 0.84kg/capita per day. Spatial expanse of boththe sites was calculated in Arc GIS 10.3 system. The findings clearly showed that the extent of both these dump siteshad increased during 2006-2016 due to an enormous rise in solid waste generation. During 2006, the area of MehmoodBooti dump site and Lakhodair Landfill site was only 15 hectares and 17 hectares respectively. By 2016, this area hadincreased to 32 hectares and 52 hectares respectively. The mapping of these two sites can help in future researchesbased on investigating the disease patterns among people residing around these sites and by determining methaneemissions in the study area.

India, the second biggest country in the world, has nearly 1.25 million people living in 29 states and seven union territories covering an area of 3,287,000 sq. km. India's economy grew at an impressive 8.2% in the first quarter of 2018-19. Traditionally, India has the habit of reuse and recycling the materials wherever possible. As the city agglomeration is increasing the waste generation is increasing. The number of towns/cities have increased from 5,161 in 2001 to 7,935 in 2011, whereas the number of metropolitan cities having million plus population has increased from 35 to 53 number as per 2011 census. It is projected that half of India's population will live in cities by 2050. Waste management in India has been experiencing a paradigm shift through the establishment of Swachh Bharat Mission in urban and rural India in 2014 and the revision and establishment of waste management rules in six types of wastes including transboundary movement in 2016. This study presents the overall waste management scenario and the legal framework in India.

As China develops its economy, hazardous waste generation is expected to increase rapidly. Recovery and recycling, i.e. co-processing of Alternative Fuels and Raw materials (AFRs) and treatment of hazardous waste in energy-and resource-intensive industries such as the cement industry seems to be an supplementary option to conventional technologies which can increase the overall waste management capacity in China significantly. With the largest cement production in the world, the industry can save significant amounts of non-renewable coal and raw materials by substitution with wastes which needs treatment. However, co-processing requires appropriate regulations and policies to support its development and safe and sound implementation.

Solid waste problem is happen in many big city, such as Surabaya City. Jemur Wonosari which is participant in Surabaya Green and Clean (SGC) program also have waste management problems. When SGC was conducted, solid waste management is good. However, after the program finished, solid waste management facilities was neglected. In this research we measured solid waste measurement in waste generation and composition from domestic and non-domestic. Also to survey the level of community participation in manage solid waste. The design is quantitative research, data getting from measurement of waste generation and composition also question data to know community participation level in waste management which influenced by internal factors (knowledge, motivation, and environment attitude).The result of research, waste from people in a day is 0,093 kg/person/day. The result of solid waste generation which produced by the community is about 2054,37 kg/day. Waste composition which dominated by food waste, it’s about 43,3%. From the X2 test explain that there is a relation between knowledge, motivation, and environment attitude to community participation and between community participation to solid waste management. The community need to improve composting activities to minimize waste and rise up community participation.
