Modern man habituated to use products of plastic leaving the traditional method of life styles. Every city is generating thousands of metric tons of waste per day, which is polluting air, water and soil of the respective areas disturbing the life of the human beings. The solid waste from the panchayat, municipality and corporation were collected covering the slums, commercial and other residential areas including apartments. The solid waste collected from these areas segregated and individual weight of the components was calculated. Our study aimed at the collection, segregation and preparation of quality organic compost including the study of recycling options available for the non degradable waste.
