This document discusses municipal solid waste management and proposes an application design to improve waste segregation and tracking. The key components of the design include: 1. Labeling waste at the source using a color-coded alphanumeric system to identify waste type and location. 2. Primary collectors scanning labels during waste pickup to upload data to a management information system. 3. This data being used for governance functions like identifying waste sources, collection planning, and customer relationship management. The goal of the application design is to enable better waste tracking and resource planning through digitization of municipal solid waste systems.

2. Introduction.
Municipal solid waste management
is an application design within the
urban infrastructure. It is a service-delivery
ecosystem and an integral
part of urban development.

3. Urban Infrastructure Parameters
• Water Supply
• Sanitation
• Urban Transport
• Environment
• Housing

5. Platform
“As a response to various existing limitation,
many Urban Local Bodies have outsourced
various service delivery functions to private
agencies with an aim to increase access to
these services, and a number of public private
partnership (PPP) options have emerged.”

11. Layer of interaction
a) Households/institutions where the collection
needs to be done are identified and mapped to
Geographic Information System.
b) The waste packaging has to be then labelled.
c) Once labelled, it is collected by the primary
collector.

12. Areas of Application
NOTE:
Waste can be packed in plastic bags or be
deposited in bins, depending upon the
individuals residing in apartments or in
independent houses. Also the segregation can
be done in various bins/packets.
– Ex: Dry/ Wet or Dry/Wet/ Sanitary/Hazardous, etc.
Subject to customisation

2. Primary Collection
• The segregated waste when being collected, will first
be checked for a label by the collector.
• This label can be hence scanned.
• The scanned data can/will be submitted at the
secondary collection.

• The collection methods and routing
