Abstract

Increasing urbanization and population growth have made solid waste management a significant problem for emerging states like Biratnagar. Environmental harm and social unrest may result from problems with solid waste management. Solid waste management includes the following steps: production, collection, transportation, treatment, recycling, and disposal. The high cost of solid waste management is mostly attributable to inefficient collection and transportation practices that may result in environmental damage. It's critical to reduce transportation and collection costs if rising economies are to implement sustainable solid waste management. For maximum effectiveness, economic savings, and environmental preservation, collection and transportation can be managed and monitored. This review article highlights the difficulties emerging nations face in managing their solid waste and stresses the need for effective collection and transportation networks in order to achieve sustainable solid waste management. The review offers insights into how collection and transportation techniques might be optimized through system analysis and operation utilizing technologies like Arc GIS and Google Earth, with an emphasis on the advantages of cost reductions and environmental preservation.
