Abstract
The waste management from the previous few decades has become imperative environmental issue. The increasing population, industrialization & urbanization are the key factors associated with enormous waste production throughout the world. This review paper touches the functional elements of the Waste Management System. It is analyzed that the Solid Waste Management System (SWMS) should choose proper steps like collection, storage, processing, transport & disposal of waste so that severe impacts of waste can be minimized & the quality of life can be improved.
Keywords: Spatial distribution, Waste management system, Aphis gossypii, population, brinjal, disposal, predators, vermicomposting, land filling.
