This document provides an overview of solid waste management. It defines the objective of solid waste management as controlling, collecting, processing, and disposing of solid waste in an economical way while protecting public health. It then classifies different types of solid waste such as municipal solid waste, biomedical waste, industrial waste, agricultural waste, and e-waste. The document discusses sources and collection of solid waste in India and the impacts of solid waste on health. It also examines causes of increased solid waste and different disposal methods like landfilling and incineration. Finally, it justifies the 3R concept of reduction, reuse, and recycling in municipal solid waste management.

4. Objective Of Solid Waste
Management
The objective of solid wastes
management is to control,
collect, process, dispose off
solid wastes in an
economical way consistent
with the public health
protection.

5. Classification of Solid
Waste
E-Wastes
Industrial
wastes
Bio-medical wastes
Agricultural wastes
Municipal Solid wastes

6. Classification of Solid Waste
 Municipal Solid wastes: Solid wastes that include household
garbage, rubbish, construction & packaging materials, etc. and are
managed by any municipality.
 Bio-medical wastes: Solid or liquid wastes including containers,
products generated during diagnosis, treatment & research activities
of medical sciences.
 Industrial wastes: Liquid and solid wastes that are generated by
manufacturing & processing units of various industries like chemical,
petroleum, coal, metal gas, paper etc.
 Agricultural wastes: Wastes generated from farming activities.
These substances are mostly biodegradable.
 E-wastes: Electronic wastes generated from any modern
establishments. They may be described as discarded electrical or
electronic devices. Some electronic scrap components, such as
wires, circuits, mobile, computers etc.

8. Sources of Waste

10.  7.2 million tonnes of hazardous waste.
 One Sq. km of additional landfill is needed
area every-year.
 Rs 1600 crore for treatment & disposal of
these wastes.
 In addition to this industries discharge
about 150 million tonnes of high volume
low hazard waste every year, which is
mostly dumped on open low lying land
areas.
Solid Waste in India

11.  Waste is growing by leaps & bounds.
 In 1981-91, population of Mumbai increased
from 8.2 million to 12.3 million.
 During the same period, municipal solid waste
has grown from 3200 tonnes to 5355 tonnes,
an increase of 67%.
 City like Bangalore produces 3500 tonnes of
waste per annum.
 Waste collection is very low for all Indian
cities.
Growth of Solid Waste In India

12. • Primarily by the city municipality.
No gradation of waste product e.g. bio-
degradable, glasses, polybags, paper
etc.
-Dumps these wastes to the city outskirts.
• Local raddiwala / kabadiwala.
• -Collecting small iron pieces by magnets.
-Collecting glass bottles.
-Collecting paper for recycling.
Solid Waste Collection in
India

13.  In Mumbai (2005) clogged the sewage
line due to large no. of plastic bags.
 Blast in the Bhusan Steel factory at Noida,
caused due to imported scrap from Iran.
 Reduction in the number of migratory
birds due to consumption of
contaminated foods.
 Animals dying on streets due to
consumption of plastic bags, which
blocks the food movement in their
stomach .

16. Understand The Various Kinds
of MSW Disposal Methods Such
as Land Filling, Incineration and
Organic MSW Composting.

17. • It is the most traditional method of waste
disposal.
• Waste is directly dumped into quarries, mining
voids or borrow pits.
• Disposed waste is compacted and covered with
soil.
• It is generally used for domestic waste.
Land Filling

20. • Incineration is a waste treatment process that
involves the combustion of solid waste at
1000^o C.
• waste materials are converted into ash, flue
gas, and heat.
• The ash is mostly formed by the inorganic
constituents of the waste and gases due to
organic waste.
• The heat generated by incineration is used to
generate electric power.

22. How can we make a change
Know 3R’s Concept and Justify
Aspects and Issues related to
recycling and composting of
municipal solid waste
(MSW).

23. Reduction
• By reducing, consumer and industry can
save natural resources and reduce waste
management costs.
Reuse
• Large production companies such as
Electronic, appliances and gadgets, should
establish the collection centre, where
damaged items can be repaired and reuse.
Recycling
• Recycling turns materials that would
otherwise become waste into valuable
resources.
