For cities that are seeing rapid urbanization and population increase, solid waste management is a major concern. Due to population growth and an influx of migrants and refugees, Quetta, the capital of Pakistan's Balochistan Province, has a lot of trouble managing and disposing of its waste. Poor waste management procedures in Quetta have resulted in environmental damage, health risks, and a decline in the quality of life for the city's citizens. The key problems and shortfalls of the city's current waste management system are examined in this study, along with the effects it has on the environment and public health and an examination of the underlying socioeconomic and political causes that contribute to the inefficiency of trash disposal. In order to offer workable ideas for sustainable waste management, the research takes a thorough approach that includes site visits, interviews with stakeholders and government officials, and data collection. The results highlight the urgent need for efficient legislation, more funding, public awareness initiatives, and cutting-edge machinery to handle Quetta's solid waste management issues. The city may work toward becoming a leader in sustainable waste management by putting the suggested action plan into practice, which would result in a cleaner, healthier, and more ecologically conscious metropolitan environment.
