Abstract | Urban waste management poses a significant challenge for Indian cities, impacting public health, environmental sustainability, and urban aesthetics. This study evaluates the effectiveness of sustainable waste management practices, such as source segregation, composting, recycling initiatives, and community engagement across metropolitan areas, including Bengaluru, Delhi, and Mumbai. Utilizing a mixed-methods approach, quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews were conducted, yielding insights into the impact of these strategies on waste generation and recovery rates. Results indicate that Bengaluru outperformed Delhi and Mumbai in key performance indicators, with 80% source segregation, 60% recycling rates, and 70% participation in community programs. The findings also revealed that cities with proactive community involvement reported higher recycling rates and lower landfill reliance. However, challenges including inadequate infrastructure, low public awareness, and gaps in policy implementation hinder progress. The qualitative insights highlighted a correlation between community participation and successful waste management outcomes, reinforcing the need for public engagement and robust infrastructure investments. This research emphasizes that effective waste management is not merely a technical issue but requires collaborative efforts among stakeholders, tailored policies, and community awareness. Recommendations include enhancing community education, expanding waste management infrastructure, leveraging public-private partnerships, and ensuring policy coherence. Ultimately, fostering sustainable urban waste management practices is essential for improving the environmental conditions and public health in rapidly urbanizing regions of India. |
