【 摘 要 】

The present paper deals with the analysis of solid waste generation and composition within the municipal limits of Akhnoor town which starts from the main bridge on the river Chenab and extends up to Sohal-Sungal turn. For purpose of studies, the residential area was divided into four zones and from each zone, five houses were selected at random for the sampling and analysis of solid waste for a period of one year.
