Solid Waste Management in Rural Areas

Solid waste management in rural areas involves the proper collection, transportation, and disposal of waste generated by households, agriculture, and small industries. It aims to reduce environmental pollution, protect public health, and promote sanitary living conditions. This often includes community-based efforts like segregating waste at the source, composting organic waste, recycling materials, and safely disposing of non-recyclables in designated sites or through scientific landfilling. Effective waste management practices in rural areas enhance cleanliness, prevent disease spread, and promote sustainable living by minimizing the impact of waste on the environment.
