摘要

This research examines Rudrapur’s municipal solid waste management amid rapid urban growth. As the population increases, so does waste volume. Utilizing secondary data from the Rudrapur Municipal Corporation, the study analyzes waste generation, collection, management, and disposal, assessing waste composition and management variations across wards using ArcGIS mapping software. A Composite Z-score statistical technique was applied to evaluate the disparities in waste management among wards. Approximately 80–85% of MSW is collected, while the leftover garbage builds up in tiny open landfills or on the streets. Of the collected waste, 12% undergoes composting, currently the only treatment method, and 15% is recycled, while the remainder is disposed of in uncontrolled open landfills on the city outskirts. Advanced tools like Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and remote sensing offer potential improvements in waste management practices. The paper also discusses policies and initiatives proposed by the local government and Rudrapur Municipal Corporation to enhance the MSW management system.
