Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) refers to the everyday items discarded by the public, including household trash, packaging, and food waste. Proper management of MSW is crucial for maintaining public health and environmental sustainability. It encompasses various waste types, such as plastic, paper, and organic materials, which can be recycled or composted to reduce landfill use.
The effective handling of MSW involves collection, transportation, and disposal, often through landfills or incineration. Communities are increasingly focusing on recycling and waste reduction strategies to minimize the environmental impact of waste. Education and awareness play vital roles in encouraging responsible waste disposal practices.
