Answer:
National capital Delhi tops the list of Indian cities with the maximum waste generation. As a collective region, North America (Bermuda, Canada and the US) generates the most waste at 2.2kg per person per day, while Sub-Saharan African generates the least waste — 0.45kg per person per day.
Answer:
Across India, existing systems for the collection, transportation and disposal of solid waste are mired in chaos. The problem is more acute in the urban areas, where rapidly growing populations generate increasingly larger quantities of solid waste that urban local bodies (ULBs) are unable to manage effectively.
