No, open dumping is not a suitable way of managing wastes. In open dumping, wastes are dumped in open spaces located far away from the limits of the city. The dumping of different types of wastes make such dumping grounds the breeding ground of mosquitoes, flies etc. Burning of these wastes also pollutes the air. The situation can become worse during the rains. Rainwater may carry these wastes to nearby lakes, rivers or ponds and pollute them.
