Pune generates over 1600 tons of solid waste per day. It has implemented an integrated solid waste management system that focuses on source segregation, door-to-door collection, transportation, processing and scientific disposal. Key aspects include partnering with waste picker organizations, operating decentralized biogas plants, constructing a 300 TPD bio-CNG plant, and a 300 TPD waste-to-energy plant utilizing pyrolysis gasification. The goal is to attain better service delivery, enhance infrastructure, achieve financial sustainability, and eventually make Pune a zero garbage city.

6. OVERVIEW OF WASTE MANAGEMENT
 Pune generates 1600 -1700 tons of solid waste per day.
 160 trucks collect waste door-to-door, collecting an
average of 198 tons per day.
 847containers and 116 compactor buckets dispersed
around Pune.
 Ward wise average- 350 to 750 gms per capita per day
 Construction and demolition waste generation –150-180
TPD
 Garden waste generation – 50-60 TPD
 Biomedical waste – 5-6 TPD

7. Service Level
Benchmarking
-7-Source: SWM Department Pune Municipal Corporation
• Door-to-door collection of waste is
only 70% which needs to be targeted for
100% in future.
• Extent of segregation of waste is
50%.
 There is no Mechanism for disposal of
C&D processing waste. Construction
waste is Directly dumped in low
laying area or along the river.
 Absence of scientific disposal and
Treatment of e-waste.
 Present Per capita per day waste
generation is 441 gram.
 Future solid waste generation for
Pune city is Projected on the basis
of existing per capita generation
with annually increase of 1.4
percent growth rate for
metropolitan cities in India.

organizations to provide better service – 2300
wastepickers cover about 0.4 Million Households
 PMC pays for management and equipment cost
 Health insurance provided by PMC
 Recent MOU – 7000 WPs will cater services to the entire
city.

operate consistently
• Need to overcome citizen
skepticism about PMC’s
capabilities on solid waste
• Need holistic solution to ensure
clean city objective is met
• No systems for things like garden
and C&D waste currently
• Can help convince citizens about
doability of proposed model
• Can help build momentum and

 Scientific processing & recycling

42. Application of 4R’s Principle
 Plastic Waste Free Pune City Campaign
 Recycling of plastic through SWaCH Waste collectors - 150 -200
tons per day
 Sonia Gram Udyog plants at 3 locations – About 15 Tons per day
Plastic Waste Management
Monitoring & Enforcement
• GB has passed resolution for complete ban on plastics- which
was challenged by plastic manufacturer’s association through
WP
• Fixing Prices for Carry Bags-Rs 5 to 15/-
• Penalties & Prosecution on Defaulters.
• Issuing notices
• Actions through sanitary inspectors & Nuisance Detection
Squad.
• Health & Sanitation by-laws.

43. Behavioral Change Communication
Central level
 Making short films for
theater.
 Arches & Standees.
 Puppet shows
 Informative CD’s for
Societies.
 Mohalla Committee
meetings.
Local level
 Meetings with hotel
owners, citizens
 Training of scrap shop
owners for E-Waste.
 School Training
Programme.
 Mohalla committee
meetings in Ward Office on
every last Thursday.
 Student Rally
 Cleanliness Drives by
School & College Students.

44. SWACHH SURVEKSHAN

45. Monitoring mechanism
 Third party auditing
 Indicators defined for auditing
 Based on these an independent body
ensure procedures are followed
 Mohalla Committee
 Swachhta mitra
 Local residents become involved with
the project
 Ensures sustainability of the project
 Reporting System
 Weekly report format.
 SI & N.D.Squard fine
collection report.
 Notices to Societies for non
segregation.
 Notices & fine to plastic bag
sellers.(<50 microns)
 Legal action.
 Publication of Ghata trucks route
maps

46. MSWM: FUTURE SCENARIO AND CHALLENGES
 The land available for treatment & disposal shrinks everyday
 Lack of awareness among citizens and less political support resulted in limited
community participation
 The limitations of the existing treatment processes will dictate implementation
of more efficient treatment like plasma gasification & reduction in residues for
landfill.
 Local waste management will form the centre-piece of MSWM strategy. This
practice must continue zone-wise.
 Movement of waste will become problematic & costly.
 E Waste management will pose major challenge as the city is a major IT / ITES
hub & the e-waste generation could reach over 4,000 to 5,000 MT per year.
 C & D waste would be over 35000 to 50000 TPY and shall need new locations
for disposal.
