The quantity of municipal solid wastes generated in Delhi has been consistently rising over the years. This can be attributed to the rapid population growth, mass migration of population from rural to urban areas, increase in economic activities in general in the city and the change in lifestyle of the people. According to the Population Census 2001, the highest percentage of urban population in India is in Delhi(93.01%).There has been a decennial population growth of 46.31% between 1991 and 2001 as Against the corresponding All-India level, which is 21.34%. Along with intrinsic population growth the rural to urban mass migration account for additional population pressure on the city. Change in lifestyle of the people has resulted in increased wasteful consumption, leading to a change in the composition and increase in the quantum of solid waste generated.
