A class on solid waste management was held on 4th July ’22 by Mr.
Eswaran, Sanitary Inspector of Tenkasi Municipality. He was assisted by
Mr. Madhavan Rajkumar and Mr. Sekar.

Improper disposal of municipal solid waste can create unsanitary
conditions, and these conditions in turn can lead to pollution of the
environment and to outbreaks of vector borne disease – that is diseases
spread by rodents and insects.

Solid waste includes garbage and rubbish. Garbage is mostly
decomposable whereas rubbish is mostly not. Trash is rubbish that
includes e-waste. Waste management deals with all types of wastes,
including industrial, biological, household municipal, radioactive etc.

The waste management aims to reduce the dangerous effects on the
environment and human health

Reduce, Reuse and Recycle are the present day slogan.
