Abstract :
This review deals the interaction between solid waste and climate change. Unaccountable dump structures or even some landfills do not include methane collecting systems, in developing countries. In this condition, the greenhouse gas escapes to the atmosphere. The review discussed the emission of greenhouse gases from solid waste and their contribution to climate change with special reference to methane. The Importance has been placed on Municipal solid waste generation quantity in Indian cities and its effects on environment and climate change. Finally, concludes that the problem of solid waste needs some holistic approaches such as reuse of solid waste to produce energy and bio-manures.
