ABSTRACT: One of the frightening issues in modern life is the collection and disposal of municipal solid trash. The ineffective and improper methods of disposing of solid waste cause aesthetic blights, serious risks to public health, such as air pollution, accident risks, and an increase in rodent and insect vectors of disease, have a negative impact on land values, cause public nuisance, and otherwise obstruct community life and development. Unattended SW invites rodents, flies, and other animals, which in turn spread infections. Wet SW also decomposes and emits a foul stench. Health issues result from these unclean circumstances. Therefore, it's critical to manage SW to reduce its negative effects on human health and the environment. Development of understanding is required for solid waste management (SWM).Solid garbage dumped at a dump site serves as a current indicator.Current research focuses on the scientific assessment of public opinion regarding solid waste management and investigation of potential solutions which are practicable in local context. The rural community of Kandalgaon in the Maharashtra state, close to Kolhapur, was chosen as the subject region for this investigation. The primary accomplishments of the programme are the survey of village residents, calculation of the potential for tentative garbage creation, and exploration of alternative solid waste management options.
