Municipal Solid Waste (MSW)

Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) refers to the everyday trash produced by households, businesses, and institutions in a city or town. It includes items like packaging, food scraps, paper, plastics, and household appliances. MSW is generated in large quantities and needs proper collection, sorting, and disposal to prevent environmental pollution. Waste management methods often involve landfilling, recycling, composting, and waste-to-energy processes. Effective MSW management is essential for maintaining public health, conserving resources, and reducing the impact of waste on the environment.
