Abstract The rapid pace of urbanization in developing nations has significantly strained existing municipal solid waste management (MSWM) systems, necessitating innovative and sustainable solutions. This study explores the role of Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) in enhancing Integrated Solid Waste Management (ISWM), with a particular focus on optimizing efficiency, service delivery, and environmental outcomes. Through an evaluation of various PPP models—ranging from service and management contracts to concession-based arrangements like BOOT and BOT—the research identifies key benefits, including improved operational efficiency, cost savings, technological innovation, and public health outcomes. However, it also acknowledges challenges such as policy limitations, public resistance to user fees, and integration of informal sectors. Case studies from Indian cities such as Chandigarh, Kanpur, Lucknow, Pune, and Vijayawada illustrate both the successes and limitations of PPP implementation. The study concludes by proposing strategic recommendations to enhance the efficacy of PPPs in ISWM, emphasizing stakeholder engagement, legal and institutional frameworks, innovative financing, community participation, and the adoption of smart waste technologies. This research contributes to the ongoing discourse on sustainable urban development by demonstrating the transformative potential of collaborative governance in waste management.
