Indore, a city recognized for its exemplary waste management practices, has set a benchmark in urban cleanliness and sustainability in India. Over the years, Indore has transformed its waste management system by implementing an effective solid waste management strategy, which includes door-to-door waste collection, efficient segregation, composting, and waste-to-energy initiatives. This study evaluates the impact of Indore’s waste management policies on environmental sustainability. Using government data, surveys, and analysis of key indicators such as air quality, water quality, and landfill reduction, this research highlights the correlation between efficient waste management and ecological balance. The findings emphasize how Indore's model can serve as a blueprint for other cities aiming for sustainable urban waste management.
