| Abstract: | In India, waste management is mostly based on the principle of ‘sustainable development’, which may ensure a long term solution to proper management of waste and regaining the lost environmental balance. As there is an increase in the urban population and economic development, the production of solid waste is also skyrocketing. This improper dumping of solid waste is not only degrading the local habitat but also creating a hazardous habitat where survival is becoming difficult. The towns and cities in India generate 62 million tons of solid waste, out of which 31 million tons go into the landfills, untreated. With ever-developing technology, it is possible to mark out the target areas where waste management must be done and with proper techniques, along with the sustainable development goals (SDG), this waste can be managed well and even recycled and reused, in terms of the circular economy, to bring about economic development as well as technological rehabilitation of waste so that long term development goals of India are served. This study uses Geographic Information System (GIS) based techniques and acquires maps using geo-referenced and digitized in ArcGIS which shows total solid waste generated and processed through thematic maps which are helpful for effective planning and policymaking in the sustainability of the waste generated. The paper will discuss the definition, trends in waste composition and finally, a recommendation for the waste reduction was made based on the findings focusing on sustainable development goals (SDG). The study will help policymakers ineffective planning and judicious use of natural resources in India.
