Unlike previous municipal solid waste management in cities of Punjab(India ), this study analyzes the implementation of solid waste management. Also, examine the factors responsible for the dysfunction of the municipal corporation of Dinanagar(MCD) city of Punjab(India). To fulfill the research objectives, primary and secondary data are collected from various sources for qualitative and quantitative analysis. However, some drawbacks and flaws were found in the existing practices of municipal solid waste management. Internal consistency and validity are measured using Cronbach’s alpha. The importance-performance analysis and strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats analysis are performed to conclude the present scenario of MCD. This study eventually concluded with some suggestions to waste management authorities and researchers for contributions to the improvement of the current system.
