Community people can play a fundamental role in managing household solid waste, which incorporates a diverse range of activities including reduction, recycling, segregation, modification, treatment and disposal of waste. Awareness about solid waste management brings the positive attitude and good practice in day-to-day life.

A descriptive cross sectional research design was adopted and non-probability purposive sampling technique was used to select the sample. Total sample size was 100. Data collected through face-to-face interview by using structured questionnaire. Findings of the study showed that all most all (97%) of the respondents had adequate level of awareness and least number (3%) had moderate level of awareness regarding household solid waste management. More than one third (38%) of respondents identified that burning is appropriate mechanism for household solid waste management.

Based on findings, long-term awareness-raising program should be organized to increase awareness of the community people about the impacts of burning of waste in health and environment.
