Abstract
Solid waste is defined as the useless solid materials generated from human activities in residential and industrial areas. In the developing world, there is a growing problem of managing solid waste and finding alternatives to landfill disposal particularly for food waste. Solid waste management reduces or eliminates the adverse impact on the environment and human health. Greenways are a good approach for solid waste management feasibly. Recycling is one of the best green approaches for solid waste management strategies. It is a safe method to utilization or disposal of electronic wastes. Bioremediation is a novel green technique that is used to treat polluted media including soil, subsurface material, and solid waste by modifying the environmental conditions to stimulate the growth of microorganisms and also degrade the target pollutants. It is the process where organic wastes are biologically degraded under controlled conditions. Composting is another option for the aerobic and anaerobic decomposition of organic materials by microorganisms under controlled conditions. To extract toxic heavy metals including cadmium and lead, from solid waste, earthworms can be used. Greening on dumping sites can be a major step toward the prevention of the accumulation of solid waste in the area by modifying the physical characteristics. Nowadays, genetic engineering techniques are mostly used for the development of a new organism with beneficial properties that apply to the bioremediation of pollutants. Novel strains with desirable properties of microbes are developed through genetic engineering.
