Mounds of garbage are a common sight today. Waste thrown is omnipresent in the form of rotting piles that dot our landscape, foul our rivers and pollute our wells and lakes. These are the unwanted or useless solid materials generated from human activities in residential, industrial, or commercial areas. A report shows that 62 million tons annually averages out to 450 grams of waste per person per day. As we know the severity of the wastage, this paper focuses on waste generation in Usilampatti, a taluk that includes many villages. The details of implementation programs, steps to transform the village, and geographical studies are listed. The alternate solutions like GPRS equipped waste bin, sanitary landfilling, etc. that is to be implemented to overcome the solid waste problems are proposed. An analysis is carried out and a combined solution is made. Considering all these analyzed facts and information collected, a solution that could incorporate and solve both solid and liquid waste management issues in the village would be the best. We would suggest the adaptation of sanitary landfills and the vermicompost pit method combined with the construction of wetlands with proper vegetation. This is because both of these methods require a separate area distant from the residential part of the village and do not require too much technically skilled labor; hence the villagers under the proper advisory of a leader can adapt to these methods. These methods could only achieve their best by the complete involvement of every villager and also proper periodic maintenance. In addition to these, the GPRS equipped bin method is also a good one to be considered.
