Background:
Solid Waste Management is one of the important obligatory functions of not only urban local bodies but also
of rural local bodies. But this essential service is not efficiently and properly performed by the local bodies ,
resulting in many health and sanitation problems. It is observed that lack of financial resources, institutional
weakness, improper selection of technology, transportation systems and disposal options, public’s apathy
towards
environmental cleanliness and sanitation have made this service unsatisfactory.

Municipal Solid Waste
Definition:
Municipal Solid Waste includes commercial and residential wastes generated in a municipal or
notified areas in either solid or semi-solid form excluding industrial hazardous wastes but including
treated bio-medical wastes
- Municipal Solid Wastes (Management and Handling) Rules, 2000.
Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) is the trash or garbage that is discarded day to day in a human
settlement.
-SWM Toolkit,MOUD.
Municipal Solid Waste Management(MSWM) refers to a systematic process that comprises of waste
segregation and storage at source,primarycollection, secondary storage,transportation,secondary
segregation, resource recovery,processing,treatment,and final disposal of solid waste.
aesthetically cleaner surroundings with cleaner drains for storm water flow, cleaner water
sources and safer neighborhoods. Apart from these, MSWM restricts air pollution, ground
water contamination & soil contamination.
Objectives of Solid Waste Management
The objective of SolidWasteManagement(SWM) is to maintain clean and hygienic
conditions and reduce the quantity of SW, which has to be disposed of in Sanitary Landfill
Facility (SLF) after recovery of waste materials and energy from it.
The objective of solid waste management is to reduce the quantity of solid waste
disposed off on land by recovery of materials and energy from solid waste. This in turn
results in lesser requirement of raw material and energy as inputs for technological
processes.
To provide economically and environmentally viable methods for waste disposal.

Health and Environment Benefits of MSWM:
It prevents waste to contamination of water (in drains) and soil in particular;
Reduces waste sent to the landfill, which may have negative impacts on groundwater
and air quality;
Reduce emissions from energy consumption- as waste when recycled requires less
energy than making goods from virgin materials thereby reducing the energy demand and
pressure on nonrenewable sources (oil, fossil fuels);
Contributes to Climate Change by reducing methane emissions from landfills.
Improved waste management services reduce chances of spread of diseases.
Economic Benefits:
An effective waste management implies reduce, reuse and recycle waste matter leading
to introduction of more and more of waste matter into the value chain leading to economic
benefits; and
Waste management being a labour intensive activity, it helps in employment generation.
Introduction of rag pickers into formalized waste collection and segregation process is a
win scenario for implementers.
Benefits of MSWM
Majorly, there are two kinds of benefits incurred from effective Municipal solid waste
management:
Health and Environment Benefits
Economic Benefits
Need for MSWM:
Efficient municipal solid waste management benefits in maintaining hygienic conditions leading to
lesser health issues, better living environment, improved economic prosperity in the area,

Municipal Solid Waste Management systems in India
The Stakeholders involved in the management of MSWM are:
The Ministry of Environment and Forests: The Ministry of Environment and Forests is
responsible for general aspects related to waste management, and draws up, coordinates the
environmental policy and overseas the implementation of the federal legislation regarding waste
management.
 Central Pollution Control Board: Coordinate the activities of the State Pollution Control Boards
and provide technical assistance and training to the personnel. Disseminate information sponsor
research relating to waste management. To perform functions prescribed by the Government.
 State Pollution Control Board: Plans a comprehensive program for the prevention, control or
abatement of air pollution and water pollution. To inspect, at all reasonable times, any control
equipment or process. Prior to installation of a landfill or incinerator, permission from SPCB must be
obtained.
 City Corporation: City Corporation issues permits and creates policy for waste management.
Provides waste management services or operates disposal, recycling, or composting facilities. Often
contracts out services to the private sector.
Private Informal Sector:
Private Informal Sector – collection of the recyclable waste, transfer to the recycling facility and
recycling of waste.
Legal Framework applicable to Municipal Solid Waste Management
Legislation concerning waste is usually differentiated according to the type of waste.
International conventions often cover nuclear and hazardous waste, whereas non
hazardous waste, often called solid waste is usually more regulated at the national level.
From an environmental angle the following environmental rules, regulations and acts
would be the most relevant for MSWM
Municipal Solid Waste (Management & Handling) Rules 2000, notified by the
ministry of Environment and Forests, Government of India vide notification No.
S.O.908 (E) dated 25th September 2000. The guidelines given in this law covers all the
functional elements of municipal solid waste management.
The Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1974. Two aspects have to
be kept in mind of this law in regard to MSWM. Firstly, a consent from the state
pollution control board for establishment of a sanitary landfill site and compost plant is
essential and secondly, no water pollution should be caused by the leachate that is
emitted by the sanitary landfill site or a compost plant.
The Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Cess Act, 1977 and amendments
thereon. The only aspect that should be considered in this law in regard to MSWM is
provision for levying and collection of cess on water consumed for the sanitary land
filling, composting and anaerobic digesters.
The Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1981 and amendments thereon.
The aspects to be considered in this law with respect to MSWM is the need for
obtaining consent from the State Pollution Control Board for establishment of the
processing plants and disposal site and from an environmental aspect would be the
pollution caused by incineration plants, compost plants and landfill sites.
The Environmental (Protection) Act, 1986 and its subsequent notifications. The
aspect in regard to MSWM would be the EIA notification, 1944, which states that for
any project to be authorized an EIA report should be submitted first.

Composting
Composting is an organic method of producing compost manure by decomposition and stabilization of organic
matter. Compost is particularly useful as organic manure which contains plant nutrients (nitrogen, phosphorous
and potassium) as well as micro nutrients which can be utilized for the growth of plants.
Composting can be carried out in two ways –
Aerobically (with the presence of oxygen) or
Anaerobically (without the presence of oxygen) or vermi-composting.
Aerobic composting
In aerobic process, aerobic micro-organisms oxidize organic
compounds to carbon dioxide, nitrite and nitrate. This carbon is
used as a source of energy while nitrogen is recycled (high
nitrogen waste will grow bacteria).
Aerobic process needs high maintenance in monitoring air, moisture and high temperatures in the system. Some
of the basic aerobic composting techniques are Indore composting, windrow composting, vermi composting,
in-vessel composting, etc.
INDORE METHOD:
Raw materials:
Mix plant residues, weeds, Urinated Mud, leaves, grass, wood ashes, bran etc.
Size of PIT: Breadth -5-8 feet, Depth-5 feet ( not more than 7 feet),Length -7 feet or more as per requirement.,
Water.
Filling the composting pits:
VERMI-COMPOSTING
Requirements:
Earthworms,Pre digested organic waste,water,concrete floor under
shade.
Construct a pit of 3 x 2 x 1 m size (L x W xD) over ground surface
using bricks. Size of pit may vary as per availability of raw materials
Fill the pit with following four layers:
1st layer – sand or sandy soil of 5-6 cm. This layer helps to drain excess
water from the pit.
2nd layer - paddy straw or other crop residue of 30 cm above 1st layer
which will be used for providing aeration to the pit.
3rd layer - 15 to 30 days old dung over paddy straw layer at a thickness
of 20-30 cm. This helps in initiating microbial activity.
4th layer - pre-digested material about 50 cm.Inoculate earthworm @
1000 worms per square meter area or 10 kg earthworm in 100 kg of
organic matter.Spray water on the bed and gunny bag. Maintain 50-
60% moisture of the pit by periodical water spraying.

Location:
Suryapet town has historical recognition as ‘Gate Way of Telangana’ in the Indian State of Andhra
Pradesh. It is a Grade One Municipality in Nalgonda District of Andhra Pradesh. Spread over 24 sq
km. Suryapet urban town was constituted during the year 1952, as Grade - III municipality.
Municipality has 34 no. of election wards, 3 no. of Revenue wards. It is also the Revenue
Divisional Head Quarter. It is located at 170-5’ North latitude and 790-37’ East longitude, on the
National High Way No.9 at a distance of 132 Kms east of Hyderabad.
History:
Historically it has no significance of worth mentioning. But Chalukyas, Kaatiya, and finally Nizam
dynasty ruled it. Suryapet Municipality was constituted in the year 1952 as Grade-III
Municipality, which was upgraded into Grade- II Municipality in the year 1984 and to Grade-I on
07-11-1998.The area of the town is 24 Sq.kms.
Topographic features:
The soil in and around the town is hard is hard gravel soil. Elevation of the town varies from + 169
meters to 184 mtrs above main sea level. The natural slope of the town is from North to South.
There are three tanks namely Pulla Reddy Tank, Chowdary Tank and Nallacheruvu Tank in the heart
of the town. Musi left canal passes through the town from west to east irrigating fields in and around
the town. The average ground water table is about 50 feet below ground level.
Solid waste Management:
Prior to 2003, the town suffered from poor sanitary standards. The frequency of garbage collection
was low, resulting in waste spillage around bins. Incidence of disease in the town’s populace was
high. In an effort to clean up the city, the Municipal Commissioner launched a ‘Zero-Based Solid
Waste Management’ initiative13 in early 2003, which was implemented on a phased basis. The key
elements of the initiative were: Source: http:// cdma.telangana.gov.in/Suryapet
Particulars about the town
Year of establishment 1952
Area 24 Sq.Km
Total population(2011 census) 105250
Total Number of households 25,000
Waste generated 62 tones per day
Implementation Strategy
The project was launched in two phases, both of which were implemented for the entire town:
• In January 2003, the municipal council started DTDC, and eliminated community dustbins
(approximately 360 bins). This resulted in significant improvement of the town’s civic
environment.
• From May 2003, a two-bin system was introduced. Nearly 52,000 green and red plastic
bins were distributed free of cost to all residential houses to enable segregation at source.
•The first phase had won the goodwill of the citizens by displaying the Municipality’s
commitment to improving living conditions.
•This facilitated the involvement of households in the implementation of the second phase, that
is, in doing segregation at source .Both these phases were accompanied by an aggressive
public outreach program (further details below) for creating awareness among the citizens and
ensuring their cooperation.
The key elements of the initiative were:
• Introduction of door-to-door (DTDC) collection of garbage.
• Eradication of community dustbins.
• Introduction of segregation at source.
• Installation of treatment and recycling facilities to minimize waste disposal requirements.

SEGREGATION AT SOURCE:
The pragramme is aimed such that waste collection bins is eliminated. Hence, approximately 360
roadside dustbins have been removed. In the second phase of the project, two bin system has been
introduced at the household level, wherein all the houses have been given two types of bins, one green
and other red by the municipality, at no cost. This is for better source segregation of waste. If the
households wish, the municipality has also offered to give individual households a vermi composting bed
to recycle bio-degradable waste at home.
TRANSPORTATION:
The transportation system has been designed so that the waste is picked up from the wards and is directly
taken to the recycling unit. Motorized three-wheelers are used for collecting waste from households
located on narrow lanes. On larger roads, the tractor is used. Both the tricycle and the tractor have two
compartments, one of which is used for wet Waste and the other for dry waste. The wet waste is
transported to the vermi-composting unit while the dry waste is taken to a recycling unit.
Public Communication Strategies:
The Municipal Council undertook aggressive efforts to generate public awareness and engage the
community. The nature of communication differed for each phase of the project..
PHASE Activity carried out
Phase-1 the message was a part of overall civic awareness. Street meetings were conducted
Phase-2 the campaign focused on segregation. Various communication channels—
distribution of leaflets, publicity in print and electronic media, street plays, pasting
of stickers on the doors of houses,

Operating System
The town has been divided into seven zones (of approximately 4,000-5,000
households), with one tractor and 30-35 sanitary personnel assigned to each zone
for DTDC. Collection is done directly by tractor-trailers; no tricycles are used.
There is, therefore, minimal manual handling of wastes. Community dustbins
(approximately 360) have been entirely eliminated. To prevent street littering, pole
bins have been installed along footpaths.
Treatment and Disposal
The treatment and disposal site has composting sheds, beds, and a bore well pump.
A shed has also been constructed for further segregation of dry waste. During
treatment and disposal (a) dry waste is further segregated at a recycling shed, and
recyclables are packed and weighed. These are sold to paper and other industries
located in the vicinity; (b) organic waste is vermi-composted and sold to farmers
or used for horticulture purposes; and (c) rejects, debris, and other final waste is
used for leveling purposes.
60 percent of organic waste is composted, and 90 percent recyclable waste is sold
or reused..

Financial Resources
The Suryapet Municipality spent about US$275,555 on cleaning up the town. The money
was spent primarily on equipping the residents with two separate dustbins, constructing the
vermi-compost and recycling sheds, and implementing training and awareness programs.
There was negligible increase in, and hence minimal expenditure on, operational
infrastructure. Apart from its own finances, the Municipality raised money from different
sources such as the Lions Club, industrial houses, and trade associations. The Municipality
implemented the program without any support from the central or state
government
Program Highlights
Achieved high levels of segregation at source.
 Accomplished high landfill diversion rates (60
percent biodegradable waste; 90 percent
recyclables).
 Led to income generation from sale of recyclables
and compost ~ US$1,770 per month.
Generated financial support from local trade and
civic groups.
Segregation of WET & DRY waste in SURYAPET
Segregation of BIO Degradable & NON degradable waste in SURYAPET TRACTOR TRALLY for MSW collection
 Resulted in increased tax collections due to public goodwill generated by program.
Achieved engagement of all stakeholder groups, thereby ensuring smooth implementation.
 Resulted in income generation and improved living conditions for slum population.
 Led to minimal increase in vehicles and manpower.

Kanchrapara(West Bengal)
Kanchrapara was originally built as a township by Indian Railways. Today it has
expanded to include other economic activities as well, primarily small-scale trade and
services. Given municipal status in 1917, the wards in the non-Railway areas are managed
by the Kanchrapara Municipality (KM). The rapid growth of population in the non-
Railway areas had resulted in sharp increase in municipal solid waste (MSW) generation
in these areas. Secondary storage points for MSW (street side vats) were cleared only two
or three times a month, resulting in unhygienic conditions on the streets and in open
spaces. The Municipality was unable to keep the town clean, given its inadequate MSW
infrastructure and resources.
Profile of Town
Location about 48 km. from Kolkata in North
24 Parganas district of West Bengal
Area 3.07 sq. km.
No. of wards 19
Population (2011) 102,000
Quantity of solid waste generated Approximately 40 MT per day
The idea of a participatory approach to solid waste management (SWM) emerged in mid-
2002, in the course of discussions between the Vice Chairman, Kanchrapara
Municipality, and the then Chief Environment Officer, Government of West Bengal.
The inadequacy of financial resources with the Municipality necessitated the development
of a low cost service delivery model that could be implemented by the people themselves.
Based on community involvement. The main elements of the SWM program were:
Introduction of door-to-door collection (DTDC) of garbage against payment of a service
charge.
Constitution of SWM committees at the municipal and ward levels to oversee the SWM
function.
Substitution of community dustbins by mobile trailers.
 Introduction of segregation at source to enable effective treatment of waste.

Launched in December 2002, the program was implemented on a ward wise basis, with the ward of the
Vice Chairman, Kanchrapara Municipality, serving as the pilot. Towards end-January 2003, the
Municipal Board adopted the necessary guidelines to run SWM committees at the municipal and ward
levels. By March 2005, 15 wards (out of 19) had adopted the program. To overcome the initial
reluctance to pay service charges, the new SWM system was operated free of charge for the first two
months in each ward. No ‘willingness to pay’ study, however, was done to arrive at the tariff structure.
Instead, a brief consultation exercise using ‘local wisdom’ led to the formulation of the differentiated
rate structure. The program did not meet with any resistance from the Municipality staff, since there
were no retrenchments under the program.
The Chairman and Vice Chairman were keen to improve the situation and willing to commit municipal
funds for the purpose, with the latter acting as the program champion.
Public communication: For each ward, the initial awareness creation was done primarily through group
meetings in the ward. Once the system was introduced in a particular ward, a campaign mode was
adopted, using posters, school competitions, and even the singing of songs by school children.
Operating System:
Each ward (average population:4,500) is split into four or six sectors; each sector consists of 150-180
Waste Generating Units2 (WGUs). Each sector is assigned one tricycle van accompanied by one waste
collector and one supervisor.

Authorities such as Commissioner, Sanitary
Inspector should keep meetings of PRP’s within
specified intervals.Thus we can improve the
interaction between Public and PRP group which
will eventually lead to increase in awareness
regarding Municipal Solid Waste Management.
Despite of writing on walls & making public
aware,24% lack awareness about their
respective Colony MSW street worker.
As alredy seen,out of 26 complaints given, 54%
complaints are being redressed within one day while
31% gets redressed within 1-2 days.while 8%
complaints got yet to be redressed. This says that
the SLB has to reach Service Level Benchmark for
Redressed.
ISSUES IDENTIFIED:
In the study area, there is no segregation of wastes at Source i.e(Household level)
There are 4 locations in wards 3,9,21,27,where the MSW is not carried properly by
Municipal workers.
Existing Municipal dustbins are not cleared properly in time intervals.
Although the Door to Door collection municipal solid waste is 100%,the Street sweeping
is not done daily.
From the analysis, it can be emphasized that 46% of the complaints are redressed with
time being taken above one day.
Municipality has set up a mechanism called PROJECT REPORTING PERSONS groups
which are not active.
From primary analysis, we can see that Majority of the public are not aware of PRP
groups.
PRP groups are inactive in all the wards.
No Transfer station in the municipality. Waste is transferred on the roads from rickshaws
to tranctors,tractors to dumper bin.
Illegal fees is charged on public for Municipal solid waste Collection by MSW workers.
Collected MSW is not Scientifically treated.
MSW in the study area is Openly dumped which emphasises that there would be
Environmental issues due to Open dumping .

Scale:
Orientation:
1,CENTRALISED Treatment of MSW(Vermi composting)
The Municipality produces around 13 MT of Organic compostable wastes per Day.In order to utilize the
waste and turning it into manure,we are going to install Vermi Composting beds which are 13 in number
where each bed composts 1 ton of organic waste with one KG of earthworms in each bed.
Requirements:
Earthworms,Pre digested organic waste,water,concrete floor under shade.
Construct a pit of 3 x 2 x 1 m size (L x W xD) over ground surface using bricks. Size of pit may vary as
per availability of raw materials
Fill the pit with following four layers:
1st layer – sand or sandy soil of 5-6 cm. This layer helps to drain excess water from the pit.
2nd layer - paddy straw or other crop residue of 30 cm above 1st layer which will be used for providing
aeration to the pit.
3rd layer - 15 to 30 days old dung over paddy straw layer at a thickness of 20-30 cm. This helps in
initiating microbial activity.
4th layer - pre-digested material about 50 cm.Inoculate earthworm @ 1000 worms per square meter area or
10 kg earthworm in 100 kg of organic matter. Spray water on the bed and gunny bag. Maintain 50-60%
moisture of the pit by periodical water spraying.

people gets involved in the Development process.PRP groups can educate people
over MSWM issues related to public. This increases the awareness among public
