dc.description.abstract	Managing solid waste is the main challenge facing cities in developing countries. It has been calculated that approximately 1.3 billion tons of solid waste were generated in the world’s cities in 2012 – a number which could rise to 2.2 billion tons in 2025.However what is more challenging is the nature of work that the waste pickers are exposed to. Clubbed with social stigma associated with the job, negligent returns, lack of healthy working conditions and health hazards waste collection is a occupational choice of a far few. This paper is an attempt to understand the hazards associated with working conditions of waste picking and its effect on the health of the SWaCH members. The researcher has also noted the intramural and extra mural welfare facilities that the waste pickers receive however awareness and satisfaction about them amongst the waste collectors can be future scope for study	en_US
