Although there have been recent advancement in waste disposal, it remains an overall public safety and environmental health issue that countries around the world continue to address. A study was conducted to assess the effectiveness of structured teaching programme on disposal of waste among adults in Thandalam Village at Kancheepuram district. Quasi experimental design was adopted, 100 samples between age of 20–50 years participated in the study. The result revealed that there was a lack of knowledge among the adults about disposal of waste. After the teaching there was statistically significant improvement in the knowledge of waste disposal which will help them in managing the waste.
