to effectively coordinate with all of them The government should come forward with

coordinating and supporting roles

Just collection and disposal of the waste is not thesolution, the reuse and recycling of the waste shouldbe part of the National waste management program

Reduction at source, collection, transportation,

recycling, reuse and recovery of the materials shouldbe practically integrated in the municipal plans

Appropriate rules, regulations with funds
