Abstract
The things that are thrown away and is unnecessary to the human beings is generally referred to as waste. These wastes can be recycled and reused.

According to the survey conducted and discussed in this paper, people have a lack of segregation knowledge and are not aware about how the wastes are being managed currently. This tells about the people's cognition about waste management in Bangalore. This survey targets all the age groups for the development and the improvisations that can be done in a better manner. Based upon the Waste to Energy (WTE) techniques, which sheds light upon converting wastes to the useful resources, Bangalore can be a much cleaner city.
