dc.description.abstract The purpose of this research paper was to design an effective Solid Waste Management model (SWM) for Sri Lankan context based on current Sri Lankan Solid Waste process. In line with that, researchers have observed generation, collecting, controlling and get recycled outcome on solid waste. The increasing solid waste generation has become an important issue in recent years due to the uncontrolled growth of the urban population and industrialization. In Sri Lanka, urban solid wastes heap up on the roads due to improper disposal system and this higher level of waste generation in Sri Lanka is happening due to increased consumption patterns. Applying the case observational method, researchers designed a model which is capable for managing solid waste in Sri Lanka. The model that identified in the study is an effective solid waste management process to manage improper solid waste disposal. Through a substantial literature review on different types of waste management models, researchers observed current solid waste recycling models and identified significant phases in the available SWM practices in Sri Lanka. Significant phases on SWM like; waste collection, transportation and disposal methods have been depicted in the developed model in the study. The model provides important approach for policy development in the country. Also the model lead the companies to have a supportive strategic decisions and develop RRR businesses and lead the households to earn income by selling reproduced solid waste which highlight a sustainable waste management in Sri Lanka. en_US
