Citizens' Satisfaction on Kerala's Waste Management System with Special Reference to Thrissur City

Urbanization has become a global phenomenon with the rapid growth of cities and towns. The process of urbanization brings with it various challenges, including the management of waste generated in urban areas. Kerala, a state located in the southern part of India, is known for its high urbanization rate and has implemented a comprehensive waste management system to address this issue. The state has adopted a decentralized waste management system that focuses on reducing, reusing, and recycling waste. The waste management system in Kerala involves various measures such as source segregation, composting, vermicomposting, biogas generation, and recycling. The state has also adopted the concept of 'Zero Waste’, which aims to reduce waste generation and encourage recycling, and reusing of waste.
