摘要：An enormous amount of solid waste is generated daily in cities and towns of India. With
increasing urban population, changing lifestyle and dietary habits, the quantum of waste has
increased every year which has posed a challenge for authorities to manage it properly. This
problem is one of the primary urban environmental issues. Studies have revealed that
municipal authorities are only able to collect 40-70 percent of daily waste generated in cities
and towns and the rest is left unattended. It causes environmental problems of varied
dimensions and damage to human health. It has been observed that uncontrolled open
dumping is still prevalent in most areas in general and educational institutions in particular.
In the present study, an attempt has been made to analyze problems of waste disposal and
its management in IIT (BHU) campus. There are various sources of solid waste such as
hostels, mess, canteens, fruit shops, residential colonies and departments in the campus. On
the basis of waste characteristics, an economically feasible solution is to find out for the
scientific management of day to day collected waste. MSW Quantification &
Characterization has been made to investigate types of treatment technology will be
applicable in an institutional campus. Lastly, relevant suggestions and recommendations for
improving the existing system, have been put forward.
