Abstract

The waste management agenda is significant, and it requires administrative attention, guidance, and public awareness on a priority basis. Effective waste management impacts social, economic, and ecological concerns. The purpose of this research was to survey methods for managing solid waste in the hospitality sector. To reduce their negative effects on the environment, stay in compliance with regulations, and make their guests happier, hotels must have efficient waste management systems. Some important practices involve carrying out waste audits, reducing waste at its source, recycling, composting, and managing hazardous waste properly. To show their dedication to environmental protection and ethical business practices, hotels may optimise their waste management through staff training, stakeholder involvement, and continuous improvement in initiatives. By adopting these practices, we can lessen the amount of trash that ends up in landfills and assist in rendering the hotel business more sustainable. There is significance difference between presence of garden and restaurant on solid waste generation rate. The information presented in this article is crucial for waste management planning and resource allocation in many different types of contexts, including residential, industrial as well as hotels.
