Abstract
Solid waste management studies primarily focused on the urban and suburban areas in general. It is determining to proffer these studies to rural areas. Rural areas are undergoing transformations in terms of volume and types of waste produced. This shift can be attributed to the growth in population, consumption pattern changes and economic activities. Hence the research was performed in Nainital, Uttarakhand with a perceptible cultural congruence and is also considered to be the most tourist centric spot in the Kumaon region. The impetus of the research was to pervade the solid waste stream and gauge the subsisting waste management practices in Nainital. The study also found that recyclables at a rise, that urges the requirement for a panoramic management strategy that stretches out beyond the organic waste management which is a general practice in the rural areas of Nainital. A serious perturb was raised again the open burning of non-recyclables. The study recommends insertion of primary waste management research that has high tourism activities in the rural areas of Nainital.
