-Solid waste can be regarded as refuse or waste from any
kind of source..
-Any material which is not needed by the owner, producer
or processor.

3. Statistics of Solid Waste in India
In 1981-2015 municipal solid waste has grown from 3200 tonnes to 7355
tonnes.
Waste collection is very low for all Indian cities.
 Estimated waste generation is 1,00,000 MT/day.
 Per capita waste generation ranges between 0.20 to 0.60 kg.
 Local authorities spend less 5% of their budget on waste disposal and
maximum cost is incurred on street sweeping and collection and
transportation of waste.

Our city have a landfill facility at
Naregaon village.
This is an alone dumping ground in city.
Its been started in 1987 and is spreaded
at around 44 acres of land.
However, it does not comply the MSW rule

there without any treatment.

11. Type of Waste generated
60 % - Waste is dry waste that consists of Papers, Plastic,
Wood that is recyclable.

To reduce transport cost of SW to Naregaon.
To avoid health hazards faced by the rag pickers
and the AMC workers.
To make city clean and beautiful.
Why Segregation of waste is necessary

13. How It can be done?
-By collecting waste in three separate bins.
-60 % Solid waste is collected by the ragpickers
on the spot.
-20 % Wet can be used for making compost,
biogas or for piggeries.
-Only rest 20 % percent load will go to

• Method of waste reduction, waste reuse, and
recycling are the preferred options when
managing waste.
• 4R’s stand for:
Reduction
Reuse
Recovery
Recycling

18. • By reducing, consumer and industry can save natural resources and reduce waste
management costs.
Reuse
• Large production companies such as Electronic, appliances and gadgets, should
establish the collection centre, where damaged items can be repaired and reuse.
Recovery
• Energy or material can be recovered from waste that are not reused or recycled
Recycling
• Recycling turns materials that would otherwise become waste into valuable
resources
