Landfill management is one of the most common techniques to manage the waste disposal process, perhaps this is the reason behind the current inefficiencies in the landfill management processes used by the Indian authorities and local municipalities. The increasing burden of safely managing and disposing the incoming waste is one of the most important reasons to reassess the landfill management techniques used in India. Therefore this policy paper tries to examine the importance of sustainable management of landfills along with examining the general framework of rules and regulations surrounding the practice of landfill management in India.
