Solid and hazardous waste management is the practice of handling, treating, and disposing of waste materials in a way that minimizes their impact on human health and the environment. The proper management of waste is essential to protect public health, prevent pollution, conserve resources, and promote sustainable development. Solid waste includes a wide range of materials, such as household garbage, industrial waste, construction debris, and electronic waste.
