7. GURGAON RENEWAL MISSION
half-day workshop was recently organized to
discuss crucial issues and solutions with respect
Ato adopting an Integrated Waste Management
Strategy for Gurgaon. The event was supported by
Gurgaon Renewal Mission, a reputed forum of several
non-government organizations, civil society groups and
residents' welfare associations working together
towards a visible result oriented movement that is aimed
at renewing Gurgaon as the 'dream city' of India. The
event was organised in partnership with Gurgaon First,
anNGO.
Wastemanagement–aplaguingissue…
Gurgaon is a city with tremendous advantages and
unfortunately, tremendous problems too and waste
management is one of them. Of all the waste streams,
waste from electrical and electronic equipment
containing new and complex hazardous substances
presents the fastest-growing challenge that needs to be
addressedproactively.
Issuesdiscussed…
Theworkshophadfourdistinctsessions:
a) How serious is Gurgaon's waste management
problem?
b)PolicyPerspectives&governmentinitiatives
c)SolutionsandWayForward
d)SuccessStories
Recommended Action Points and Solutions for
WasteManagement
ŸAn integrated approach using processing, recycling,
composting and power generation is needed to make
thiscityclosetoazerowastecitystatus.
ŸThe Bandwari plant is running sub-optimally. Within
two years of operation, already 50 per cent land has
been occupied by garbage in the plant. More capacity
canbeaddedtotheplant.

Building Lives, September 2013 7
ŸBesides, a proposal for a facility near Kachra Chowk on
the Gurgaon-Faridabad Road has remained stuck for
the last 2-3 years. If the area earmarked falls under the
protected Aravalli Range, then an alternate site be
identified.
ŸThe most important concern currently is to reduce the
land requirement for disposal of waste by maximising
appropriate treatment of different waste streams, in
order to reduce volumes of waste requiring being
land-filled. Besides, reservation of land for processing
& disposalofwasteintheZonalPlansissuggested.
ŸCorporatesneedtobeencouragedtosellwastetoonly
proper segregators and recyclers and not to the
unorganizedsector.
ŸIn order to mitigate adverse impact to the
environment, the immediate development of
incineration process is proposed. Alongside this, the
closure, capping and landscaping of existing dump-
siteswouldhavetobeundertaken.
ŸAuthorities should earmark funds for processing and
treatmentofwaste.
ŸThere should also be an institutional framework for
coordinationamongststakeholders.
ŸSome initiatives have been taken in different states to
address the issue of C&D waste independently or in
tandem with the existing Municipal solid Waste
(ManagementandHandling)rules2000.
ŸCitizens should be made aware of source segregation
of waste. The city's RWAs canbe encouragedto deploy
organic waste converter machines at the local level
thatcanconvertwasteintohighvaluemanure.
ŸCapacity building at the level of the authorities is a
must along with removal of malpractices in the
contractingsystemalsoneedurgentattention.
ŸIn conclusion, what is needed is a clear waste
management policy at the level of MCG, fast action
on planned projects, and a greater involvement of
public.
