In this research contribution, a practical solution is presented for pollution management and waste disposal issue in urban environments. This research applies disposal techniques and proposes adequate optimal usage of rubbish drums and trashcan available in public and private sites. The wide-range and consistent application of advance biomaterials and recycling equipment has been considered in this research. The flow of information and training of the wide-range application of novel methods and techniques calls for the introduction and production of state-of-the-art policies and technologies to develop the execution and implementation of effective waste management systems that will contribute to safer and cleaner ecosystems in developing nations. This paper presents the waste management chart with steps to follow to ensure that the solution has been applied effectively.
