Journal Title: International Journal of Advanced Research in Engineering and Technology - Year 2019, Vol 10, Issue 1
Abstract
A huge quantity of MSW is generated in Kokrajhar town as compare to its growth rate of population. The open dumping and open burning of solid waste in Kokrajhar town pose a threat to vital components of environment and wellbeing of human welfare. The situation is aggravated by dumping of solid wastes in the drains of adjoining the roads which leads to the blockage of those drains due to which various severe problems such as artificial flood frequently occurs during the rainy days. Waste management of Kokrajhar town is one of the problems which have to tackle in scientific and sustainable way. Kokrajhar Municipality Board (KMB) is making an effort to improve waste management in this region by door to door collection of all the ten wards, still there are lacuna as the result of which significant success have not recorded. The field study was carried out to determine the quantity and characteristics of waste and concluded that the waste composition have higher percentage of organic waste which can be efficiently used as organic manure through biological decomposition process where as recycling and recover would be one of the best options for the inorganic matter of waste. This paper underlines the various factors responsible for the inefficient waste management and providing sustainable solution for the waste management in Kokrajhar town.
