Solid waste management is one among the important components of a country’s hygiene position. It has a direct impact on the health, environment, quality of life of the citizens and on the aesthetics of the urban areas. Due to inadequate management of non-industrial hazardous waste various health problems occur even though the countries spend a lot of money for disposal. For example, the US currently spends over $300 million a year just to landfill disposable diapers.
Reasons for not dealing with the problem are inadequate resources allocated, poor visibility and monitoring of the staff activities and missing knowledge of how to find alternative solutions for operating and managing the waste. As an overall solution they must opt for institutional and technology tools to smoothen their process. Transportation of waste being an important component of waste management, there are serious merits that can be reaped on cost savings and efficiency
