Solid or semisolid matters that originates from human or animal activities, and which are disposed because they are hazardous or useless are known as solid waste. Solid waste management deals with spatial attributes so the role of GIS is important. It play a significant role to improve collection operation, analysing proper location for dumping, planning the route of transportation and to identify exact site for landfill. The present study tries to trace out the existing condition of solid waste management system at source of generation with the help of GIS and trace the benefit of employing GIS for management of wastes. To fulfil the aim of the study both primary and secondary data have been collected. The secondary data has been collected from Purulia municipality and primary data has been collected with the help of hand-held GPS and with the help of observation method. It is revealed that the existing management system of solid waste at source of generation is not enough for proper disposal. There are various problems lying due to improper management of solid waste disposal.
