The increasing population has significant influence on rapid urbanization and industrialization, which leads to higher density of waste generation, putting additional pressure on its management. Solid Waste Management (SWM) refers to the process of collecting, transporting, processing, disposing, and monitoring solid waste materials generated by human activities. This includes waste from households, commercial establishments, and industrial processes. The objective of SWM is to minimize the amount of waste that ends up in landfills or open dumps, as well as to reduce the negative impact of waste on the environment and public health. This paper presents a comprehensive review of government policies that that promote sustainability, efficiency, and environmental protection. The findings suggests that SWM can be improved by setting penalties, providing incentives, and creating public-private partnerships. Effective solid waste management is essential for sustainable development, as it helps to conserve natural resources, reduce pollution, and protect public health.
