At the end of December 2019, Wuhan City became the epicenter of the highly
contagious virus known as the novel coronavirus. Now that mid-2020 has already
passed, almost every country is adversely affected by Corona Virus Disease
(COVID-19). The routine activities of people of all ages are overturned, which
has led to a shift in the trends of waste created by households, streets, and
most importantly, medical facilities and quarantine centers. Compulsive use of
personal protection equipment such as masks, gloves, sanitizers, etcetera by the
frontline workers from the medical sector, banks, daily need stores, waste
collection industries, etc. and the use of masks by every common man stepping out
has skewed the trend of waste generation to a different direction. Recently, the
replacement of single-use plastic was accepted by the masses, and the pandemic
suddenly rebounded to the previous situation, it is expected to be worse in the
long run. Another secondary outcome is reduced waste collection and recycling due
to lockdown, leading to a pile-up of wastes. But several nations are adopting
strategies to break the transmission chain of the virus by trying to minimize
human contact. The study discusses the effect of COVID-19 on the generation,
recycling, and disposal of solid waste. A brief collection of different
countries' efforts to restrict the transmission of virus through solid waste is
also discussed.
