Abstract: In the current scenario, wastes are polluting the earth, which is a major concern for keeping environment safe and clean. However, these problems can be dealt by proper disposal and proper treatment of wastes. Wastes can be infectious and may harm us. So all over the world the message of clean environment is spreading. So an effort is taken to find barriers which restrict the proper disposal and the proper treatment of waste in India. An extensive study is done on different types of waste namely, hospital/biomedical waste, municipal solid waste, paper waste and e-waste and some commonbarriers are found for each waste and then all barriers are ranked as per the importance by PROMETHEE II and VIKOR analysis, such that necessary actions can be taken for waste management in India and waste management policies can be framed that will help in hindering the effect of most influential barrier.
