Pune generates around 2,000-2,100 tons of solid waste per day. Through partnerships with waste picker organizations and a user fee-based model, Pune aims to provide better services, cleaner waste, reduce costs, and create a more sustainable waste management system. Pune's efforts include door-to-door collection, segregation at source, decentralized processing including composting and biogas production, and scientific disposal that has eliminated open dumping since 2010.
