ABSTRACT Various national and international agencies have shown their concern towards proper handling, treatment and disposal of biomedical waste, as they may cause serious infectious diseases like hepatitis, tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS. Most of the hospitals do not have effective disposal system leading to complex problem of hygiene and sanitation in hospitals. The use of disposable items has reduced the rate of infection but at the same time has increased the volume of the waste which needs to be disposed properly.

One of the globally pertinent issues is to manage the wastes generated in an organized manner. Mitigating solid waste generation is important alongside efficient management of the generated wastes is paramount. Thus, recycling has emerged as a viable alternative. Solid Waste Management comprises steps like collection, transportation, and disposal, and in an efficient waste management process, it is essential to monitor and design each process scientifically. Disposal in landfills is a general practice however; owing to inefficient segregation before disposal the wastes are highly toxic with th

In modern times, disposal of garbage has turn out a huge cause for concern in the world. A comprehensive amount of waste that is generated is not disposed properly and in turn have a harmful effect on the habitat. The most commonly used method for disposal of the waste is by random and unscientifically dumping garbage at landfill sites, which is creating problems to public health and the environment. Garbage disposal is an emerging environmental and public health issue. Waste production has been doubled over a period of past 20 years and the efficiency in manual segregation is very low. Thus,
