The management of municipal solid waste has become an acute problem due to enhanced economic activities and rapid urbanisation. Increased attention has been given by the government in recent years to handle this problem in a safe and hygienic manner. In this regard, Municipal Solid Waste Management (MSWM) environmental audit has been carried out for Bangalore city through the collection of secondary data from the government agencies, and interviewing stakeholders and field surveys. Field survey was carried out in seven wards (representative samples of the city) to understand the practice and the lacuna. The audit was carried out functional element wise in selected wards to understand the efficacy and shortfalls, if any, of MSWM. 49% of the bins are covered while evaluating storage options. 17.5% of the commercial areas have community bins and 94% of the residential areas have adopted a doorto-door method for the collection of waste. Segregation of wastes in these methods of collection is 3%. There are no transfer stations presently and large-scale trucks have been used in a few wards to carry out the functions of a transfer station. Among the trucks used for the disposal of wastes from wards to disposal sites, 41.43% are polythene covered. Recycling carried out mainly by the informal sector (rag pickers) has high level of efficiency and the recyclables are being retrieved by this sector at all stages starting from collection to disposal of wastes at dump sites. As the major composition of waste is organic, waste treatment options like composting is successful in Bangalore and currently 3.14% waste reduction is achieved through composting. Ultimately, about 60% of the waste is disposed in dump yards and a balance of 21.14% is disposed in open quarry sites.

“…As presented in the table, the most widespread use of GIS on SWM lies in the areas of site selection for landfill, trash bin and transfer stations (Chang and Lin, 1997;Kao, 1996;Kao and Lin, 2002;Lotfi et al, 2007;Sener et al, 2011;Tralhão et al, 2010;Vijay et al, 2008) and routing and scheduling optimization based on historical or predicted data (Fan et al, 2010;Ghose et al, 2006;Jovičić et al, 2010;Kanchanabhan et al, 2011;Ozkan et al, 2006;Tavares et al, 2009). Others applications of GIS in SWM includes waste generation estimation by using socioeconomic data and local demographic (Ahmed et al, 2006;Karadimas and Loumos, 2008;Marah and Novotny, 2011), local management planning (Hrebicek and Soukopova, 2010;Macdonald, 1996), integrated SWM establishment (Karadimas et al, 2004;Tao, 2010) …”

“…The degree of people living in urban zones has extended from 17. 35% (1951) to 31.2% (2011) (Karadimas et al, 2004;Census, 2011;Yogeshwar, 2012). The quick and consistent advancement in urban masses prompts an enthusiastic augmentation in urban solid wastage, with a genuine monetary and biological impact.…”

The present investigation was conducted to study the spatial distribution of solid waste disposal sites in Allahabad city, Uttar Pradesh, India using GIS approach. In this investigation site determination for the transfer of strong waste is performed utilizing geographical information system (GIS), the analytical hierarchy process (AHP), and remote detecting strategies for the Allahabad city. In GIS, every single possible prerequisite are at first indicated, spatial information coordinated and overlaid and in view of the last yield got appropriate naturally kindhearted destinations for squander transfer are recognized. Analytical hierarchy process give a deliberate way to deal with evaluating and incorporating the effects of different variables, including a few levels for surveying and coordinating the effects of different components, including a few levels dependent and free, qualitative and quantitative data. Remote Sensing pictures and Survey of India topomaps were utilized to extricate data on badlands and other lands utilize highlights, geography, hydro-geomorphology, seepage, street systems and slant of the region. Various tools and software's were used for the study like Arc GIS 10.1 LIS III image, SRTM DATA, ERDAS imagine etc. The results of the present study indicated that maps of land use cover/land use change/ satellite imageries and GIS tool were benefited for characterizing appropriate plans and methodologies for effective solid waste management plan in metropolitan cities. Therefore, GIS tools, satellite imageries, maps must be considered for the implementation of solid waste management policies.
