This document summarizes a graduate report presentation on the solid waste management system in Surat, India. It discusses the classification of different types of waste, and the city's collection, transportation, and disposal methods. Surat overhauled its waste system in the 1990s after an outbreak, and now uses various techniques like door-to-door collection, transfer stations, and landfills. It aims to further improve waste segregation, build new transfer stations, and treat plastic and organic waste through public-private partnerships.
