Abstract
Urbanization is considered as a core event which accelerate the generation and accumulation of waste materials in a large scale. This waste can be managed by different ways, garbage farming is most environment friendly among them. The aim of the current work is to uncover the present waste management system of Titagarh municipality, waste characterization and valuate this waste management system. Approximately 60–65-ton waste is being deposited in this dumping ground every day, which are the main source of bio-fertilizer of 70.08 acre of land. By using this organic manure, the chemical properties of the agricultural field are so good that three crops can be cultivated in a year. Therefore, the gross economic value of this landfill site, taking into account the financial value of garbage farming and other sources, is approximately 1600000 Indian rupees.
