Overview

Solid Waste Management (SWM) is an organized process of segregation, collection, storage, transportation, processing and disposal of solid waste in an environmentally sustainable manner. Today SWM is an aggravating problem in urban areas leading to different kinds of environmental problems and adverse social impacts within urban areas.

The various waste management rules which were framed during 2016 under the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986 provide a legal framework for disposal and management of waste. Guidelines for preparation of comprehensive plan for the prevention, control or abatement of pollution by using scientific waste management have been issued by Government of India from time to time.

The Performance Audit of Solid Waste Management in Urban Areas covering the period from April 2016 to March 2022 was conducted to assess the efficiency and effectiveness of solid waste management in Uttar Pradesh. The instances mentioned in this Report are those which came to notice in the course of test audit for the period 2016-17 to 2021-22 as well as those which came to notice in earlier years, but could not be reported in the previous Audit Reports; matters subsequent to the year 2021-22 have also been included, wherever necessary.
