Ginwal, Priyanka | Sharma, Preeti
This paper embarks on household waste and its management strategies. It gives an insight into the strategies to manage household waste, pillars of waste management structure, factors affecting household waste management, and the measures needed to motivate people to take-up waste management activities. Ample literature was reviewed for the purpose and it was revealed that food waste is the most common type of waste generated from the households. The 3R strategy, composting, pyrolysis, decluttering, and WMC (Waste Management Charge) are effective strategies for managing household waste. Pro-environmental values, circumstantial strands, and balanced psychological factors serve as pillars for a strong waste management structure. High knowledge, positive attitude, and righteous values and beliefs are positively linked with waste management, whereas, lack of facilities and regulations for waste management, low education, and economic status is negatively associated with waste management. Administrative measures, economic measures, physical measures, and effective information dissemination are important measures that should be undertaken to motivate people to take up waste management activities. Based on the literature reviewed, a model/ schema of household waste management is developed and presented in the paper.
