A very good work and very educating write up.
On the part of Government, ministries of environment and relevant agencies that care less about the management of waste should be put on pressure, thousands of unhealthy issues and reports are traced back to poor waste management practices in a defined geographical area.

On private organizations. Apart from joining hands with the government to reduce the solid waste generated within a state to the minimal level, it is also an avenue to get wealth. Investing on solid waste management as private organizations is a good business like that of Electricity Distribution Company.
