ABSTRACT
The management of municipal solid waste has become anacute problem due to enhanced
economic activities and rapid urbanization.Increased attention has been given by the government
in recent years to handle this problem in a safe and hygienic manner. This paper presents an
overview of current Municipal Solid Waste Management (MSW) in Pimpri-Chinchwad city,
India& provides recommendation in system improvement. The collected data of MSW functional
elements were based on available reports & meeting with responsible persons. Due to increase in
population & changes in life style the quantity & quality of MSW in PCMC city has changed.
Public awareness, suitable planning, infrastructure are the main challenges of MSW management
in PCMC city. However the present situation of MSW management in this city, which generates
500 ton/day, has been improved since the establishment of an organization responsible only for
MSW management. Source separation of waste, Vermi-composting, Mechanical composting &
Bio-diesel are the main activities of PCMC in recent years.
INTRODUCTION
Solid waste generation is a continually growing problem at global, regional and local levels.
Solid wastes are those organic and inorganic waste materials produced by various activities of
the society, which have lost their value to the first user. Improper disposal of solid wastes
pollutes all the vital components of the living environment (i.e., air, land and water) at local and
global levels. The problem is more acute in developing nations than in developed nations, as
their economic growth as well as urbanization is more rapid.
The government of India has taken many initiatives and implemented new technologies and
methods by giving loans for setting up composting plants to encourage proper management of
solid waste since the 1960s (MoEF, 2005). The MSWM problem was compounded with rapid
urbanization. Due to increased public awareness of MSWM, a public litigation was filed in the
Supreme Court, which resulted in the Municipal Solid Wastes (Management and Handling)
Rules, 2000.
The city of Pimpri chinchwad is located in the western part of India with a population of about
21 lakh.The latitude of and longitude of PCMC are 18 37 N,73 48 E respectively. The

solid wastes are still collected without separation at the source, treatment facilities are limited
and the collected wastes are mostly dumped haphazardly in open areas.
In India there is lack of organization and planning in MSW management due to insufficient
information about regulations and due to financial restrictions. In the short term, the best policy
might be to leave disposal methods without any controls, and use the resources available to
upgrade them with environmental protection system. In the long term, construction of new
treatment units could be planned. Public participation and awareness are also important issues in
achieving the goals of the suggested management system but it is difficult and takes a long time
to make people aware of the importance.
