Abstract: Unhealthy disposal of solid waste is one of the important problems in many societies. Despite various rules, regulation and guidelines, when waste management still remains a great challenge then it is just not a challenge but it a social handicap. Youth are our tomorrow’s leaders, they have the power to influence and transform the society. Hence the present study aimed to investigate youths’ level of awareness and engagement related to municipal waste management, with reference to Nasik city. Findings reveal that the willingness to adopt waste management methods is correlated to the practicality of those methods; which meant that sufficient support from municipal council was needed for continued practice.
