Abstract
The present paper deals with the analysis of solid waste generation and composition in the institutional area of Akhnoor town, within its municipal limits. For the purpose of studies, the institutional area was divided into four zones and from each zone, different institutions (viz. schools, banks, colleges and government offices) were selected for the sampling and analysis of solid waste for a period of one year. Methods of disposal of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) alongwith characterization and management of solid waste were studied to assess its impact on the environment and people inhabiting the area.
