SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT AT IP CHERLAPALLI

2. MUNICIPAL SOLID WASTE (MSW)
Commonly known as trash or garbage is
a waste type consisting of everyday
items we consume and discard. It
predominantly includes food wastes,
yard wastes, containers and product
packaging, and other miscellaneous
inorganic wastes from residential,
commercial, institutional, and industrial
sources. Examples of inorganic wastes
are appliances, newspapers, clothing,
food scrapes, boxes, disposable table-
ware, office and classroom paper,
furniture, wood pallets, rubber tires,
and cafeteria wastes.

3. PRIMARY STEPS INVOLVED IN MUNICIPAL
SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT
• WASTE GENERATION
• COLLECTION
• WASTE HANDLING AND SEPARATION, STORAGE
AND PROCESSING AT THE SOURCE
• SEPARATION AND PROCESSING AND
TRANSFORMATION OF SOLID WASTES
• TRANSFER AND TRANSPORT
• DISPOSAL
• ENERGY GENERATION

4. OBJECTIVE
The overall objective of the study is to support in planning, coordinating,
implementation and monitoring of the pilot work on strengthening of
solid waste management system in Industrial Park Cherlapalli so as to
test, disseminate and promote replication of viable solutions for waste
management in industrial parks through poorer communities addressing
socio, economic and environmental concerns, including livelihood of the
involved workers.

METHODOLOGY

5. METHODOLOGY
• Introduction to site & surroundings of IP Cherlapalli.
• Understanding organizational structure & working methodology of SRACO.
• Acquiring maps from municipal authorities.
• Site visits to IP Cherlapalli for collection of primary data.
• Ground truthing & verification of data from secondary sources.
• Preparation of GIS based information database & maps.
• Analysis & interpretation of spatial data with respect to actual site conditions.
• Researching methods for best practices of waste management & allied services.
• Compilation of report.

6. Society for Rural Awakening and
Community Organization
SRACO is an NGO from Andhra Pradesh working with
social cause for the poor. SRACO is associated with
about 90,000 contractual workers of various
municipalities in Andhra Pradesh. SRACO, with support
from Bread for the World, has taken up a pilot work on
management of domestic waste from the industries in
the APIIC’s Industrial Park Cherlapalli.
SRACO participated in the bidding process and got a
contract for a period of 6 months from the industrial
park management for carrying out solid waste
management by collecting domestic waste from
industries in IP Cherlapalli. 16 workers including a
majority of women workers are involved in door-to-
door collection of waste, segregation, composting and
disposal. For the transportation from the door-to-door
collection to the waste treatment area which is
located within the industrial park, the industrial park
management has a separate contract with the owners
of tractors.

10. METHODOLOGY OF WASTE COLLECTION
The following flow chart represents the order & schedule
of activities taking place at IP Cherlapalli, for the purpose
of solid waste management.

18. CURRENT PROBLEMS
• Domestic and trade waste is sometimes thrown on streets and roads.
• Construction debris is left unattended.
• Industrial waste disposed off in open areas and often burned by local rag pickers & workers.
• Segregation of recyclable waste not done at the source; hence the collected waste is an amalgamation of all type of
waste & therefore cannot be efficiently recycled.
• Primary collection and storage of waste not done at the place of generation; it is done on site
• Design & location of municipal waste storage depots inappropriate, resulting in littering of garbage. The lack of
dustbins in the area adds to the problem.
• Street sweeping is not done. Only waste from industries is collected. Hence roads are littered
• Waste transportation system not being very efficient in terms of frequency and the quantity of waste produced.
• Lack of technically trained man power.
• Lack of awareness and willingness for clean environment.
• Lack of proper communication among different agencies
• Industries to concentrate on segregation of waste at source. This may be done by installing colour coded dustbins for
different kinds of waste within industry premises.

19. SUGGESTIONS FOR IMPROVEMENT OF PRESENT
PRACTICES
• Promoting source segregation at Industry level, by use of
colour coded waste bins for different types of waste, which
prevent mixing of different types of waste and hence can
result in better separation of waste eventually.
• Use of metal detectors or electromagnets o separate the iron
or metal waste as they are the most commercially beneficial
waste and are generally hidden in sweeping dust.
• Use of protective gear like gloves, headgear, masks, boots for
waste collectors & segregators to ensure health & safety. ROUTING OF WASTE MANAGEMENT

requirement but also helps many people by providing them
with a lively hood.
