India produce huge amount of solid and liquid municipal wastes daily most of which gets disposed of unscientifically mainly due to lack of manpower, poor governance, urbanization, population growth, low level of environmental awareness and inadequate management. There are several technologies, which can safely recycle this massive burden of municipal waste. Composting, vermicomposting and biochar preparation are efficient ways to convert the biodegradable solid wastes into agriculturally useful products. Non-biodegradable parts of solid wastes can be pyrolyzed to produce non-renewable hydrocarbon fuels. Techniques like constructed wetland can prove to be economical as well as efficient to remove contaminants from municipal wastewater for supplemental irrigation.
