Open dumping of solid wastes into a wetland, a waste course drain, or a burrow pit is a common form of disposal in developing countries, resulting in litter, an eyesore, and an odor nuisance. The open dumps risk the health and also reduce the aesthetic value of the surrounding. In municipal waste bacteria like Staphylococcus sp., Bacillus sp., Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas sp., Klebsiella sp., and fungi like Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus sp., Candida sp., are found which is harmful to both the human and the environment. There must be proper awareness should be created among the public regarding waste disposal and its management.
