Abstract	In the present day, the development of smart cities is crucial for India’s progress towards achieving high-quality growth. This development is essential for promoting urban innovation and establishing India as a leader in innovation. On the other hand, there are still problems with Municipal Solid Waste Management (MSWM) in India as a result of the country’s rapidly expanding population, densely populated cities, varied cultural backgrounds, and shifting lifestyles. This study examines the solid waste reduction system in the Sama neighbourhood of Vadodara and involved surveying 150 homes to determine their awareness, attitudes, and desire to participate in the program. A comparative study was conducted on sustainable waste management and the existing generalized waste management to assess their efficiency. The survey showed varying levels of source knowledge among respondents, and they were unsatisfied with the current waste management scenario in their locality. The generalized waste management process ends with dumping at a landfill site, while sustainable waste management provides value-added products and incentives for waste management. This study serves as a baseline source for local managing bodies to understand residents’ perceptions of waste management and fill in the gaps for long-term sustainability in making smart cities. © 2025 Scrivener Publishing LLC.
