Solid Waste Management
              Any wasted solid fraction generated by domestic units, trade centres, commercial enterprises, industries, agriculture,
              institutions, public services, and mining activities is referred to as solid waste. The Government of India's Ministry of Urban
              Development has classified solid waste into 14 categories based on its origin and type, namely, domestic, municipal,
              commercial, industrial, institutional, garbage, ash, street sweepings, dead animals, construction and demolition waste,
              bulky, hazardous, and sewage waste.
              The collection, segregation, transportation, processing, and disposal of garbage are all part of the solid waste management
              system. Green waste management occupations include e-waste recycling, solid waste management, waste reduction,
              waste auditing, waste control, and so on.





















              Appropriate Technology
              Appropriate  technology  is  defined  as  small-scale  technology  that  is  environmentally-benign  and  meets  local
              requirements. Bike-powered or hand-powered water pumps, solar lamps in streetlights, solar structures, and other
              relevant technologies are examples. It is the most basic method for completing a task in an environmentally-
              sustainable manner using locally-accessible resources. Green occupations in relevant technology may include biogas
              production, water treatment filtration, farm mechanisation, rainwater harvesting, sanitation, lighting, food production,
              refrigeration, and so on.
