This document summarizes waste generation and management. It discusses different types of waste including biodegradable, non-biodegradable, toxic, and bio medical waste. It notes the time it takes different materials like cotton, paper, plastic bags, and glass to degrade. The document outlines occupational hazards of waste handling and discusses water pollution from sewage. It provides statistics on waste generation in Indian cities. It promotes reducing, reusing, and recycling waste through practices like segregating waste, using cloth bags, and composting organic waste. The goal is to support zero garbage initiatives in Maharashtra by 2020.

10. There are many occupational hazards associated with the handling of
accumulated waste of all types:
1. Skin and blood infections resulting from direct contact with waste and
from infected wounds.
2. Eye and respiratory infections resulting from exposure to infected dust,
especially during landfill operations.
3. Various diseases which are caused due to the bites of animals feeding on
the accumulated waste.
4. Intestinal infections that are transmitted by flies or insects that are
feeding on the accumulated waste.
Water pollution due to sewage and domestic waste is of major concern,
because diseases such as typhoid, cholera, jaundice, dysentery, diarrhoea,
etc. are infectious diseases which spread through contaminated water.
Sometimes this leads to the outbreak of epidemics and mass illness.
As they spread through contaminated water, they are called waterborne
diseases. About 60 per cent of all diseases in India are due to the
presence of pathogenic bacteria in water.

12. India generates around 0.2 to 0.3 million tons of waste on an
average everyday. A city like Bangalore generates around 3500-
4000 tons of waste while Mumbai and Delhi average almost
double of this. The onus of disposing this waste in a safe way falls
on the municipal corporation. While the developed nations also
face the complicated issue of waste disposal, there is a
fundamental difference – other nations have been able to achieve
high levels of source segregation and have done much more
scientific studies on the various disposal techniques and more
importantly, implemented them through active public-private
participation.

15. Waste management is the collection, transport, processing or disposal, managing and
monitoring of waste materials. The term usually relates to materials produced by human
activity, and the process is generally undertaken to reduce their effect on health,
the environment or aesthetics. Waste management is a distinct practice from resource
recovery which focuses on delaying the rate of consumption of natural resources. All wastes
materials, whether they are solid, liquid, gaseous or radioactive fall within the remit of waste
management
Waste management practices can differ for developed and developing nations,
for urban and rural areas, and for residential and industrial producers. Management of non-
hazardous wasteresidential and institutional waste in metropolitan areas is usually the
responsibility of local government authorities, while management for non-hazardous
commercial and industrial waste is usually the responsibility of the generator subject to local,
national or international controls.

18. ZERO GARBAGE MAHARASHTRA
MISSION 2020

19. Supreme Court has directed the Ministry of Environment
& Forest, Govt. of India to enforce MUNICIPAL SOLID
WASTE(Management & Handling) Rule 2000 and to
strengthen this law MAHARASHTRA NON BIO-
DEGRADABLE GARBAGE (Control) ACT 2006.
In short Rule 2000 says any Household
/Society/Bungalow/Row House and Commercial
Premises established after year 2000 must segregate
wet and dry garbage and dispose it off in a scientific
manner.
Any rule cannot be implemented effectively without
Citizen’s Participation. Keeping this in mind we request
all Punekars
to support this movement and make
PUNE GREEN & CLEAN.
