城市产生的固体垃圾的数量取决于城市的类型、人口、居民的生活水平以及城市商业化和各种活动的程度。垃圾的产生主要取决于人口的增加和活动的类型。城市固体废物管理不当会造成各种健康危害，并导致环境退化。本论文重点介绍了曼尼普尔和安达什三个城市的城市固体废物管理的现状;英帕尔、图巴尔和比什努布尔市。这项研究既包括第一手资料，也包括二手资料。研究产生的废物的物理组成有助于更好地管理废物。研究了垃圾的物理特性和现有的管理系统，如收集系统、存储、运输和处理系统。物理特征表明，有机垃圾在三个市中最高，即:英帕尔、Thoubal和Bishnupur分别为60.59%、60.08%和57.71%，塑料和纸张次之，皮革次之。 The present paper tries to analyze the scenario of management of municipal solid waste in the three municipalities of Manipur and the role NGOs play in their efficient management.
