              Solid Waste Management

              Solid waste management plays a crucial  role in maintaining environmental sustainability by effectively
              handling waste generated from households, businesses, industries, and public services. The process includes
              waste collection,  segregation,  transportation,  processing, and  disposal, ensuring  minimal environmental
              impact. Proper management of solid waste helps in reducing pollution, conserving natural resources, and
              promoting recycling. The Government of India has categorised solid waste into 14 types, highlighting the
              need for specialised waste management strategies to handle different types of waste efficiently.
              Green jobs in solid waste management focus on sustainable waste handling practices, including e-waste
              recycling,  waste  reduction,  waste  auditing,  and  waste  control.  Professionals  in  this  field  work  towards
              minimising landfill waste, improving recycling systems, and developing eco-friendly disposal methods. The
              demand for skilled workers in waste management is increasing as cities and industries look for sustainable
              solutions to manage waste effectively. By promoting proper waste management techniques, these green jobs
              contribute to environmental conservation and help build cleaner, healthier communities.
