This book is a sincere attempt to understand the magnitude of the waste management problem while elaborating on the theoretical and conceptual framework of the waste management paradigm. It goes further to discuss the global governance of waste management (treaties, conventions). The book also provides a detailed account of established practices of waste management related to segregation, collection, treatment, transportation, disposal, monitoring, and complaint redressal in three cities of Punjab (Amritsar, Ludhiana, Jalandhar). Effective solid waste management relies upon the interest and participation of all stakeholders. Therefore, the role of institutional stakeholders and individual stakeholders has been discussed at every stage of waste management. Best practices on solid waste management at national and international levels have also been documented to draw lessons.
