Pedagogy: The Experiential Learning Theory (ELT)

Background

The concept of experiential learning was first explored by American philosopher and
educational reformer John Dewey and Swiss psychologist Jean Piaget, among others. It was
made popular by education theorist David A. Kolb, who, along with Ron Fry, developed the
experiential learning theory in mid 1980s.
Experiential learning is based on the idea that learning is a process whereby knowledge is
created through transformation of experience. It is a method of educating through first-hand
experience. It lays emphasis on the fact that apart from traditional classroom learning, skills
and experience are acquired through field research, internships and other such on-ground
exercises.
As per Professor Kolb, “knowledge results from the combination of grasping experience and
transforming it.” His research shows mastering expertise in a subject is a continuous process
of experience, reflection, conceptualization and experimentation. The Experiential Learning
Theory (ELT) is a model that aims at adult education. The theory is n “Experiential learning”
to emphasize the contribution of “experience” in the learning process as mentioned before.
ELT is different from other cognitive learning theories as the latter lays greater emphasis on
cognition over affect. It also varies from other behavioral learning theories that deny the role
of subjective experience in the learning process.
The ELT model portrays two modes of grasping or taking in experience, Concrete Experience
and Abstract Conceptualization as well as modes of transforming that experience, through
Reflective Observation and Active Experimentation. According to the four-stage learning cycle
depicted in Figure 1, concrete experiences are the basis for observations and reflections.
These reflections are absorbed and extracted as abstract concepts from which new course of
action may be drawn. “These implications can be actively tested and serve as guides in
creating new experiences” (Boyatzis and Mainemelis, 2000; Kolb, 1984).
Since the early 20th century, Kolb’s original model of ELT has undergone modifications due to
further researches, trials and tests. Researchers such as Berman Brown and McCartney
suggested that students must move beyond simple reflection to what is known as practical
reflexivity (Berman Brown & McCartney, 1999). Reflexivity requires “a shift in our
understanding of reflection from being a cognitive activity . . . to a dialogical and relational
activity” (Reynolds & Vince, 2004). The idea that true reflection occurs only when it moves
from an individual, cognitive activity to a social interaction supports the effectiveness of the
process that is required for a team reflection activity. As per Reynolds and Vince (2004), this
shift from individual to social interaction is advantageous in preparing students to take action
in the following active experimentation stage.

1
Application of the ELT in the Exposure Workshops

In this section, we are re-looking at the steps in Kolb’s cycle of experiential learning in the
light of the exposure workshops conducted by us.
The SBM SWM workshops that are conducted by NIUA are usually of 3 day duration.
Orientation programme and lectures are held on the first day. The second day involves field
visit to the implementation sites and on the third day classroom sessions are coupled with
group activities and individual quiz.
The experiential learning cycle as envisioned by Professor Kolb has the following phases:
i. Concrete Experience: Concrete experience includes hands-on personal experiences
where one is encouraged to try and learn new activities and get out of one’s comfort
zone. This experience helps one in learning from their successes and failures that help
them in behavioral change.
Our approach: The workshop commences with an orientation session on the first day where
the participants are given a glimpse as to how the exposure workshops have played an
important role in the mass-sensitization process. It also highlights the contribution of SBM in
ensuring hygiene, cleanliness and public health across the nation. On the second day of the
3-day workshop, the participants are taken to field visits to give them an on-site exposure of
the technological options and the best practices that are available. This caters to the
“Concrete Experience” or the first step of Kolb’s cycle. The visits are conducted mainly in the
city and in locations nearby the city in which the workshop is conducted. During the field visit,
the participants and demonstrated centralized as well as decentralized waste management
technologies. The centralized facilities include mainly the Waste to Energy Plant, Kitchen
Waste Based Biomethanation Plant by Bulk Generators, Construction and Demolition Waste
Recycling Plant etc. The decentralized facilities focuses on Community-Based Segregated Wet
Waste Composting by RWAs, Material Recovery Facilities and CSR supported recycling
facilities for dry waste recycling, Water Recycling Toilets with Faecal Sludge Treatment
Process (FSTP) facilities etc. This was mainly intended in order to introduce them to better
alternatives for SWM than dumping and landfilling. Participants are exposed to waste
management initiatives at various scales, from community level to the city level to suit the
requirements of all types of ULBs when it comes to implementation. In case of field visits as
well, several queries are seen to be coming from the participants’ side regarding various
aspects of the technologies showcased during the visit. The interactive learning approach of
the training programme enables the participant to learn the on-ground reality and have a
complete experience of the subject. It also helps them to imbibe the knowledge of the subject
in an effective way.
ii. Reflective Observation: The reflective observation is all about the ability to reflect in
order to successfully learn from the experiences. It is during this stage that we
consider and ponder experiences, as to what went right and what could be improved.

2
 It also provides one with a scope to observe how differently it could have been done
and also to learn from others.
Our approach: On the 3rd day of the workshop, a recapitulation of the first two days of the
workshop is done. It highlights the major issues that the Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) are facing
today in terms of managing the waste. This session gives the participants ample scope for
“Reflective Observation”, and prepares them for the following steps as mentioned below.
iii. Abstract Conceptualization: Once the characteristics of the experience have been
defined and understood, it can be decided what different aspects may be included
from the next time, if any. This step focuses on pre-planning and brainstorming
strategies for success.

Our approach: To encourage interactive and peer-learning among the participants, the
participants are divided into smaller groups of 5-6 members each and group activities are
conducted. This aspect of Kolb’s cycle has been included in Group Activity 1, where the groups
are asked to present the common as well as unique issues and challenges in their respective
areas concerning SWM. This helps the participant to re-look the challenges in the light of the
paradigm shift that has taken place in SWM
where the responsibility of SWM not only
lies solely with the ULBs but also involves
the citizens’ participation.
iv. Active Experimentation: The active
experimentation phase of the learning cycle
is where one gets to experiment with new
ideas. It’s time to put the plan of action to
test in the real world, to know whether it
really works. Thus, this is a stage for
analysis, observing alternatives and drawing
up pros and cons.
Our approach: The Group Activity 2 focuses on the “Active Experimentation” part of
Figure 1: Modified version of Kolb’s cycle: Our methodology experiential learning. For this activity, the
Source: Authors teams are asked to come up with a
hypothetical model for11sustainable and viable solid waste management in their cities/ULBs,
which would help them meet their operational expenses through revenue raised from
adopting different approaches and technologies including levying user charges, fines, taxes
etc.
We, in our methodology have modified the original version of Kolb’s cycle to suit the
requirements of our workshop. Our capacity building exercise commences with an
Orientation session on the first day of the workshop that gives the participants an insight into
the domain of solid waste management.

3
This session involves presentations and lectures related to the existing Rules and Regulations
within the governance framework, such as the SWM Rules, the Plastic Waste Management
Rules, Construction and Demolition Waste Management Rules and so on.
This session also exposes the participants to the latest technologies available in order to
manage, process and treat the waste in a sustainable way. This methodology has been shown
pictorially in Fig 1.

Day 1 or Day 3.

20
Approaching the Target Group of Workshop

Step 1: Preparation of database of the ULBs which includes the contact details of the officials (name of
participation, designation of participation, name of the ULB, phone number, email ID and address) mainly
related to SBM and/or SWM.

Step 2: Telephonic conversation needs to be made with each of the ULB official, inviting them to the workshop,
followed by a mail which consists of all the details about the workshop along with a registration form and the
agenda of the workshop.
Step 3: The ULB then is asked to fill in the registration form and revert back to the mail.

Step 4: Letters addressing the same are to be made and sent to each of the ULBs; letters should be duly signed
by the respective HOD of the TEs.
Step 5: Once the filled registration forms are received, a database needs to be created for further use at the
time of registration on day 1 of the workshop.

Logistics arrangement for training

Logistics arrangement is one of the important aspects which help in achieving success of any training
programme. Logistics arrangements include the arrangement for proper venue for training programmes,
organizing the venue as per the need of training programme, stay and transportation facilities for the trainees.
The success of the training depends upon the systematic arrangements of the logistics.
Logistic arrangements at different stages of training:-

Before the training programme:

i. To arrange for finance, material and human resources for training.

ii. Selection of appropriate venue for training programme, such as the place which is devoid of
disturbances, which could affect the learning. In deciding the venue, another factor that needs to be
considered is the facilities and support systems (such as, AV Systems, Projector facilities etc.) required
during the training programme.
iii. Participants need to know well in advance the dates, venue of training and need to be informed at
regular interval about the programme.

21
 iv. Participants also need to know how exactly to reach the training venue, what made of transportation
use, if arrangements of travel are being made by the training team then participants have to be
informed accordingly.
v. An accommodation list for the participants who require a place to stay has to be prepared.
vi. While planning for training, it is necessary to plan exactly when resource person are to be called. This
will help in ensuring his presence for lecture on time.

vii. Preparation of banners indicating the subject, date, name of the training and organizing entities.

viii. Kits which include a file, notepad, pen, ID card and the agenda of the workshop should be arranged
that are to be distributed to all the participants at the time of registration on day 1.
ix. Recycled bags, non-plastic bottles, and the field manuals are to be arranged beforehand, which are to
be distributed to the participants at day 1 of the workshop.

Preparation of logistics during the training:

i. Accommodation is to be provided to both the trainers and the trainees. Also, while allocating the
accommodation for participants, it is important to consider their respective genders and address their
specific requirements (if any).
ii. The training room should have sufficient space to accommodate the participants comfortably. It is a
part of trainer’s responsibilities to check the cleanliness of the venue and to ensure that sufficient stock
of stationery and other materials required for the training.
iii. Put up the banners at the entrance of the workshop venue and inside the training room.
iv. It is necessary to plan time and space for conducting training/lectures that adheres to the agenda
prepared.
v. An arrangement needs to be made for few mikes.

vi. Arrangements for food, water and refreshments to be made for the training and it should be spaced
appropriately in the time schedule of training. Refreshments are to be provided twice a day.

For the field visits:

i. Arrangement for AC Bus/ other AC vehicle to be made beforehand for the purpose of field visits.
ii. Arrangements for drinking water, lunch and refreshments to be provided during the field visit.
Refreshments are to be provided twice a day.

22
 iii. It is important that the participants get ready for the field visit as per the timings mentioned in the
schedule for field visit. Pro-activeness and punctuality is important on the part of both the TEs and
the participants.
iv. An arrangement needs to be made for a mike and a speaker, because at the different sites the
person in-charge may not be very much audible.

Activities and Quiz

On day III of the workshop, two group activities and one quiz challenge is to be conducted. For which the
participants are to be divided into groups of 5-6 people (depending on the number of participants in the
workshop). The main aim for conducting these activities and quiz is to see if the participants have
understood the main concept of the workshop and even to encourage them to plan for bringing changes
in their municipal areas after visiting different sites.

24
Group activity 1:
In the first group activity, the participants have to discuss among themselves and then they have to make
a presentation about the challenges and issues that they face in their municipal area with respect to solid
waste management.

For analyzing the issues and challenges that are highlighted by the participants in the activity, the issues
and challenges should be prioritized as the most critical and the least critical ones.

Group activity 2:
In the second group activity, the participants are required to design plans for their own cities or
hypothetical cities of a particular population and select a technology to process and treat the municipal
solid waste generated in that city. The technology to be selected may be centralized or decentralized as
per the city’s requirements. They should also be asked to allocate a budget regarding capital expenditure
and operation and maintenance charges for waste management in the city due to their interventions.

Individual Quiz:
In this challenge, all the participants have to participate individually. In the quiz they are asked multi-
choice questions regarding the fields they have visited on the day of their site visit. The participant, who
gets the most right questions, wins the quiz and is then awarded by a prize for the same.

Important arrangements to be made:

 For both the activities arrangement of stationary is to be done, which should include sketch pens,
chart papers, pencil, eraser, ruler, board clips, a board to display the charts, a rough notepad,
fevicol, etc.
 For the activities and the quiz challenge, arrangement is to be made for prizes that are to be
distributed to the winners of the same.

1.2 WASTE: DEFINITION

Waste is an unwanted or undesired material or substance. It is also referred to as rubbish, trash, garbage,
or junk depending upon the type of material and the regional terminology. In living organisms, waste
relates to unwanted substances or toxins that are expelled from them.

Nature generates no waste, as plant litter such as leaves, dead plants, dead branches and fallen fruits
slowly get decomposed by the help of microorganisms present in the soil. The process of organisms in
one trophic level feeding on their lower trophic level in the food web, results in dead animal parts.
These are eaten away by other scavengers, or are acted upon by micro-organisms when present in
smaller pieces and converted to simpler compounds.

While humans who due to their wasteful attitude, tend to discard a substance as waste whenever they
are fed-up with it or have found a better substitute for it. Waste is therefore, an outcome of
consumption, general ignorance and wasteful habits, in the human context. According to the Merriam-
Webster, waste is defined as a refuse from places of human or animal habitation. The world book
dictionary defines waste as “useless or worthless material: stuff to be thrown away.” Unfortunately,
both the definitions reflect a widespread attitude that doesn’t recognize waste as a resource.

7
Based on the state of matter, waste could be solid, liquid and gaseous. Depending on its nature and
content it can be categorized into biodegradable and non-biodegradable waste or organic and inorganic
waste.

1.3 Types of Solid Waste: A Simple Classification

Solid Wastes:
Any material, which are discarded after use and arises from human activities that are normally solids are
called solid waste. Solid Waste can be defined as material that no longer has any value to the person
who is responsible for it. The words “garbage”, “trash”, “refuse” and “rubbish” are used to refer to some
forms of solid waste. In general, waste is “unwanted” for the person who discards it, a product and
material that does not have value anymore for the first user and is therefore thrown away. But
“unwanted” is subjective and the waste could have value for another person in different circumstances
and in a different culture.
There are many negative impacts, if solid waste is not managed properly. Some of the major impacts
are:
 Uncontrolled waste often ending up in drains, causing blockage which result in flooding and
insanitary conditions.
 Breeding of disease caused by vectors such as flies, rats etc.
 Cause of air and water pollution (burning, leaching and surface run off).

The solid wastes on the basis of their sources of generation are mainly of six types. These are:
i) Municipal Solid Waste
ii) Biomedical Solid Waste
iii) Industrial Waste
iv) Hazardous Waste
v) E- waste
vi) Construction and Demolition Waste

1.3.1 Municipal Solid Waste (MSW)

It includes commercial and residential waste generated in a municipal or notified area in either
solid or semi-solid form excluding industrial hazardous wastes but including treated bio-
medical wastes. It is also called urban solid waste; is a waste type that includes predominantly
household waste (domestic waste) with sometimes the addition of commercial wastes collected
by a municipality within a given area. They are in either solid or semisolid form and generally
exclude industrial hazardous wastes. The term residual waste relates to waste left from
household sources containing materials that have not been separated out or sent for
reprocessing.

1.3.2 Biomedical Waste:

Any waste which is generated during the diagnosis, treatment or immunization of human beings or
animals. These wastes are also generated during research activities or during the production or testing of
biological material.

Healthcare waste includes all the waste generated by healthcare establishments, pathological
laboratories, nursing homes, hospitals, etc. They are also called hospital solid waste. Healthcare waste
pertains to general waste and infectious biomedical waste generated from other sources such as
households, beauty parlours, acu-puncture clinics, blood banks, medical and blood camps, which are

8
infectious or potentially infectious. The general waste includes waste from packaging material, garbage,
kitchen waste, which are not infectious in nature. Such waste can be handled along with the municipal
solid waste and treated at the common waste management facilities, if separated at source.

In the wastes generated from the hospitals, nursing homes, different pathological laboratories, other
than the waste which are infectious in nature called biomedical waste, general uninfected waste can also
be present. These can be treated separately if they are separated at source and kept separately.
Biomedical wastes can be classified into five main categories as listed below:
(i) Infectious waste like anatomical, pathological, soiled dressings like gauze, cotton, linen etc
contaminated with blood or other body fluids. These are colour coded ‘yellow’ and are also referred to
as ‘incinerable’ waste.
(ii) Infectious plastics like IV sets, tubings, catheters micro-biological waste etc. These are colour coded
‘red’ and are referred to as ‘autoclavable’
(iii) Sharp metal objects (needles, syringes, scalpels, blades, etc.). These are colour coded ‘white’ or
‘colourless’ since they have to be separated at source and stored in puncture-proof, tamper-proof
containers
(iv) Glass and broken glass. These are colour coded ‘blue’ and also have to be separated at source and
could be stored and transported in puncture proof containers. They are ‘Chemically Disinfectable’
(v) Cytotoxic drugs, incinerator ash, chemical waste and expired medicines etc. bear the Cytotoxic and
hazardous waste symbols and can be treated and disposed only by ‘sanitary landfilling’, encapsulation
etc.

1.3.3 Industrial Waste

Industrial waste are defined as waste materials that are by-products of industries like factories, chemical
laboratories, nuclear plants, oil refineries and their subsidiary industries. These may come in the form of
solid, liquid and gas. Solids include plastics, liquids are toxic poisons and gas would include smoke and
other air pollutants. Much of the industrial waste is neither hazardous nor toxic, such as waste fiber
produced by agriculture or logging of trees. However, waste having chemical waste, hazardous
industrial solid waste are highly toxic in nature. Effluent treatment can be used to clean water
contaminated with industrial waste. However, the sludge which is poisonous has to be treated and
landfilled in sanitary/ secured landfills.

1.3.4 Hazardous waste:

Waste which are potentially harmful and cause harm to human beings, plants and also to the
environment are called hazardous waste. They are mainly generated from industries, could be also
generated from hospitals and homes. They are corrosive, reactive, inflammable.
Eg. Expired medicines, used batteries, mercury bulbs and tube lights, Pb based paints, pesticides etc.

1.3.5 E- waste:
Electronic waste, commonly known as e-waste includes unwanted computer monitors, keyboards,
televisions, audio equipments, printers and other home electrical and electronic devices including CFLs
and tube lights. Due to the toxic nature of many heavy metals, inorganic and organic compounds, that
are associated with manufacturing of electronic equipments and hazardous waste generated during
dismantling and recycling at the end of their use, e-waste management is an issue of environmental
health and concern. There are different management options for e-waste such as adoption of cleaner
technologies, eco-designing of the products, zero waste discharge, waste source reduction, recycling,
reuse of waste materials, incineration and landfilling.

1.4 MUNICIPAL SOLID WASTE

Municipal solid waste consists of household waste, construction and demolition debris, sanitation
residue, and waste from streets. This garbage is generated mainly from residential and commercial
complexes. With rising urbanization and change in lifestyle and food habits, the amount of municipal
solid waste has been increasing rapidly and its composition changing. In 1947 cities and towns in India
generated an estimated 6 million tonnes of solid waste; in 1997 it was about 48 million tonnes. Today, it
is estimated to be over 62 million tons and growing at 1.4% annually (Planning Commission Report
2014)

Over the last few years, the consumer market has grown rapidly leading to products being packed in
cans, aluminum foils, plastics, and other such non-biodegradable items that cause incalculable harm to
the environment.

1.4.1 Sources /types of MSW

Classification of Municipal Solid Waste:

Solid Waste can be broadly be classified in six main categories depending on their physical, chemical
and biological properties. These are,
a) Biodegradable waste
b) Recyclable waste
c) Soiled waste
d) Domestic Hazardous waste
e) Inerts

a) Biodegradable waste:

Wastes which break up into simpler substances naturally by the action of micro-organisms and become
a part of resource pool of the environment are called biodegradable waste.
Eg: food waste, garden waste, wet paper, garden sweepings etc

b) Recyclable waste:
Waste which are complex in nature and cannot be broken down into simpler substances by the action of
micro-organisms but stay in the environment without changing their physical properties and emit
hazardous gases when burnt in the open but can be reused, recycled or re-manufactured into newer
products are called recyclable waste. They include dry paper, whole & broken glass, plastic bottles,
plastic and metal cans, pieces of metal, plastic containers, waste cloth, packaging, broken toys etc.

c) Soiled waste:

Waste, which are infectious and can spread diseases, hence need disinfection and treatment prior
disposal. Eg. Diapers, sanitary napkins, bandages, condoms, infected cotton, IV tubing, syringes etc.

d) Domestic Toxic Waste:

Waste which are potentially hazardous in nature and can cause harm to human beings, animals, plants
and the environment and needs to be disposed with special care are called Domestic Hazardous Waste.
Eg: unused expired medicines, toilet cleaners, discarded cassettes, CDs, paints, light bulbs, compact
fluorescent lamps (CFLs) fluorescent tubes, pressurized spray cans, pesticide containers & used
mosquito repellent billets, batteries, shoe polish and many others.

10
With the increasing urbanization and changing lifestyles, Indian cities now generate 8 times more solid
waste than they used to in 1947. This is due to:
(i) Increase in the number of urban dwellers
(ii) Increase in the amount of waste generated per capita.
(iii) Increase in consumption and wastage due to better lifestyle and economic condition.
e) Inert waste:
Construction and Demolition waste, street sweepings having mud, silt, debris etc.

1.4.2 Composition of Municipal Solid Waste

From the pie-chart below it is clear that that about 48% of our municipal solid waste is
biodegradable waste. The rest 52% is non-biodegradable, of which 47% is recyclable.
Separation of waste at source can make management of Municipal Solid Waste much simpler.
Separation of waste at source and management systems will be discussed in detail in the
following units.
The figures might vary from location to location like in market places the organic waste
generation is more whereas in commercial areas the inorganic waste generation is considerably
more, whereas in residential areas the quantity of organic waste generation is more. Sometimes
waste generation composition also varies from high income areas to low income areas. We
shall discuss these in detail in the following units.
Sand and Grit, 25.16%
Toxic, 4.02%

Rags, 4.49%
Glass 1%
Metal 1%
Plastic
Rubber, 9.22%

Paper,
8.13% Wet
compostable,
47.43%

1.5 CHARACTERISTIC OF WASTE

Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) is made up of Wet & Dry Waste. The Wet waste is made up of
Household kitchen waste and market waste; this part of MSW is bio-degradable therefore it is
unhygienic to dump it on the streets and allow it to rot. The Dry
waste on the other side is the part that is not bio-degradable and Mechanical Properties include
Absorptive capabilities, Stress taking
will continue to exist on the planet as waste dumped somewhere.
ability, water holding capacity, etc.
Dry Waste typically consists of Paper, Paper Products, Plastics,
Building Debris, Glass, e-Waste, Scrap/Waste Metal and corroded metal products. These wastes consist
mostly of recyclable wastes; therefore they can be viewed as resources rather than waste.
Waste can be characterized based on many different aspects for example: Composition, Density,
Size,Chemical and Thermal Properties. The composition of waste collected from a source determines
what and how the waste is to be treated; it also provides an estimate for planning an appropriate final
disposal method. The size and density of the MSW is a measure used to estimate the size and scale of
the processing units and final disposal if it is a landfill.

11
The determination of Chemical/Thermal and Mechanical properties have till now never been given
proper importance, since they didn’t have any link to Landfilling. But nowadays with the advent of
newer treatment technologies, it has become important to study these properties as they will dictate
which method of treatment will be appropriate for a batch of waste.

1.6 Summary
Environmental hazards due to inappropriate classification of MSW have been recognized and
discussed as issues and concerns affecting the proper management of Solid waste. Amongst the
few issues, the hazards of poor management of waste has aroused concern the world over,
especially in the light of its far reaching effects both on human health and environment.

Impact of SW necessitates the treatment of waste and find out remedial measures for scientific handling
of the waste to stop environmental degradation. It also pressurizes the local bodies to reinforce their 3R
acumen in managing the waste economically, generate revenue for their ULBs on the one hand and to
boost the dwindling natural resources on the other. Therefore, the prime objectives of environmental
management are to conserve the natural resources and to improve the quality of the environment so that
the environment will be clean, healthy and pollution free.

2.1 Introduction
Environmentally sound management of increasing amounts of difficult-to-treat organic wastes is among
the topics of major concern today, in most cities. The logical starting point for solid waste management
is to reduce the amounts of waste that must be managed, that is, collected and disposed of as a nuisance
and a hazard.

The environmental, social, and economic benefits of integrating practices of waste reduction into
MSWM are the bases for an emerging worldwide agenda for solid waste management.

This section addresses sound practices in relation to the general

topic of waste reduction. Sound policy approaches for improved
recovery of materials are addressed here within the social and
technical realities of developing economies. The specific
technologies for recovering particular types of materials (e.g. glass,
metals, and plastics) are not described. Further, although an
understanding of how the markets for recyclables affect waste
reduction policies is important for strategic planning, there is little
use in promoting recovery of materials like plastics, for which there
are uncertain markets.

2.2 Source segregation

Before any material can be recycled, it must be separated from the raw waste and sorted. Separation can
be accomplished at the source of the waste generation or at a waste processing facility. Source
segregation, also called kerb-side separation, is done by individual citizens who collect newspapers,
bottles, cans, and garbage separately and place them at the kerb for collection.

13
Source segregation is the segregation of different types of solid waste at the location where they are
generated (a household or business). The number and types of categories into which wastes are divided
usually depends on the collection system used and the final destination of the wastes. The most common
reason for separating wastes at the source is for recycling. Recyclables that are segregated from other
trash are usually cleaner and easier to process. Horticultural wastes are often separated so they may be
composted or used as mulch. According to the Solid Waste Management Rules 2016, all ULBs require
households (HH) to separate household compostables such as food scraps, coffee grounds, bones,
vegetable and fruit peels as wet or biodegradable waste. Disposable diapers, sanitary napkins and other
soiled material such as bandages, syringes etc., have to be separated and given to the waste collectors
marked with a symbol so that they can be either sent to Common Biomedical Waste Management
Facilities or as taken to the WTE plants as incinerable wastes. Most studies suggest that as much as 50%
of household waste in India are compostable; another 18-20% are recyclable and construction and
demolition waste and road dust make up 25-30% and only 5% are domestic hazardous waste comprising
batteries, paints, CFLs etc.

Separate collection of household waste in different categories is gaining popularity. Many cities provide
residents with different colored bins to be filled with compostables and recyclables. Source-separated
horticultural waste and C&D wastes will be collected from HH by ULBs on payment of collection
charge or user fee. For disposal of electronic waste etc., resident welfare associations often organize
collection days or drop off locations from where the authorized e-waste collector can take these source-
separated wastes to drop-off centers, or sell to authorized e-waste collectors through Producer
Responsibility Organizations (PROs) facilities. For source-separated recycling programs to be
successful, citizen participation is essential. Incentives to increase participation, such as reduced trash
collection charges for recyclers, are sometimes implemented. However, as per the SWM Rules 2016,
user charges for collection of waste from door-to-door, has to be paid. This can be carried out by
employing waste collectors from the informal sector or through Self-Help Groups (SHGs) and NGOs.

2.3 Necessity of Source Segregation

Most of the MSW in developing countries is dumped on land in a more or less uncontrolled manner.
Those dumps make very uneconomical use of the available space and often produce unpleasant and
hazardous smoke from slow-burning fires. Besides they contribute significantly to Green House
emissions.

The present disposal situation is expected to deteriorate even more as, with rapid urbanization,
settlements and housing estates encircle existing dumps and the environmental degradation associated
with the dumps directly affects the population.

Waste disposal sites are, therefore, also subject to growing opposition, and it is becoming increasingly
difficult to find new sites that meet public approval and are located at a reasonable distance from the
collection area. Siting landfills at greater distances from the central collection areas implies higher
transfer costs, as well as additional investments in road infrastructure, hence intensifying the financial
problems of the responsible authorities. Any increase in service coverage will aggravate the disposal
problem, if the amount of waste cannot be reduced by waste recovery. Other reasons for inadequate
disposal are mostly noncompliance of guidelines for siting, design, and operation of new landfills, as
well as the lack of recommendations for ways to upgrade existing open dumps. The safe alternative is
decentralized waste management with 50-70% of the waste managed within localities through
decentralized composting, biomethanation of wet waste and another 18-20% by recycling of dry waste
in appropriate industries and a sanitary landfill, where only the domestic hazardous solid wastes are

14
disposed of carefully at a selected location. This should be a constructed and maintained sanitary
landfill which uses engineering techniques that minimize pollution of air, water, soil and other risks to
people and animals. Loans or grants to construct sanitary landfills do not necessarily result in safe
disposal of waste at sanitary landfills. As important as site location and construction are well-trained
personnel and the provision of sufficient financial and physical resources to allow a reasonable standard
of operation.

2.4 Significance /Importance of Source Segregation

Source- segregation programs can reduce the undesirable effects of landfills or incinerators. For
instance, batteries and household chemicals can increase the toxicity of landfill leachate, air emissions
from incinerators, and incinerator ash. In addition, some potentially noncombustible wastes, such as
glass, can reduce the efficiency of incinerators. Reducing the volume of residual ash is another incentive
for diverting wastes from incineration. Efficient source separation of waste can altogether eliminate the
need for incinerators especially in small towns and cities.

Source segregation may be only one part of an overall community recycling programme. These, in turn,
are components of more comprehensive waste-management strategies. To reduce the environmental
impact of waste disposal, the central, state and local governments encourage communities to develop
strategies to decrease landfill use and lower the risks and inefficiencies of incineration. Waste reduction
and recycling are considered to be the most environmentally beneficial methods to manage waste.
 Source segregation: keeping different categories of recyclables and organics separate at source,
i.e., at the point of generation, to facilitate reuse, recycling, and composting.

 Waste recovery, materials recovery, or waste diversion: obtaining materials/organics (by

source segregation or sorting out from mixed wastes) that can be reused or recycled.

 Reuse: reusing a product for the same or a different purpose.

 Recycling: the process of transforming materials into secondary resources for manufacturing new
products.

 Material Recovery Facility (MRF): waste collection, sorting, trading enterprise that buys
recyclable materials and sells to authorized recyclers. Sometimes also called "Dry Waste
Collection Centers".

 Producer responsibility: Producers of products or

services accept a degree of responsibility for the
wastes that result from the products/services they
market, by reducing materials used in production,
making repairable/recyclable goods, and/or reducing
packaging.

2.5 Categories of waste to be segregation

Municipal solid waste (MSW), also called urban solid
waste, is a waste type that includes predominantly household waste (domestic waste) with sometimes
the addition of commercial wastes collected by a municipality within a given area. They are in either

15
solid or semisolid form and generally exclude industrial hazardous wastes. The term residual waste
relates to waste left from household sources containing materials that have not been separated out or
sent for reprocessing.

2.5.1 Composition of waste:

Biodegradable waste: food and kitchen waste, green waste, paper (can also be recycled).

a) Recyclable material: paper, glass, bottles, cans, metals, certain plastics, etc.

b) Inert waste: construction and demolition waste, dirt, rocks, debris.

d) Composite wastes: waste clothing, Tetra Paks, waste plastics such as toys.

16
 Domestic hazardous waste (also called "household hazardous waste") & toxic waste:
medication, e-waste, paints, chemicals, light bulbs, fluorescent tubes, spray cans, fertilizer and
pesticide containers, batteries, shoe polish

At least 15 to 20 percent of the country’s total waste could be

conveniently segregated at its source for recycling

2.6 Drawbacks in the Existing System

Waste is dumped in low-lying areas that are within or outside the cities and that are designated as
dumping grounds or in unauthorized areas on the outskirts of the city. Sometimes waste is even dumped
on the approach roads to rural areas, which do not have their own land for disposal of waste. Such
practices result in extremely unsanitary conditions and create serious environmental degradation
problems.

Most households, shops, and establishments throw their waste just outside their premises, on streets, in
drains, in open spaces, in water bodies, and in other inappropriate places. Because such waste contains
high levels of biodegradable material, it attracts rodents and stray animals and thus contributes to the
spread of filth and disease.

Because no segregation of waste at its source takes place, domestic waste of all types, infectious waste
from medical facilities, and even hazardous industrial waste are deposited at dumpsites that are actually
designated for domestic waste. The waste deposited at such sites is neither spread nor compacted. It is
left uncovered to degrade under natural conditions.

Segregation of recyclable waste at source is not seriously practiced by households, shops, and
establishments in India. At least 15 to 20 percent of the country’s total waste could be conveniently

17
segregated at its source for recycling if the practice of segregation of waste at source were adopted.
Nevertheless, in all parts of the country, people by and large salvage reusable material—such as
newspaper, glass bottles, empty tins, plastic bags, and old clothes—and then resell it. This sector is low
profile but well established.

Large numbers of waste buyers purchase recyclable waste from the doorstep and pass it on to a sub
dealer or a dealer with a good margin, who, in turn, passes on the material to the recycling industry in
bulk. The sites generate leachate and thus pollute surrounding water bodies, contaminate the air with
methane emissions and uncontrolled burning, and create serious health and environmental problems for
the city as a whole and, more particularly, for the poor people living in the vicinity of the dumping
ground.

Here are some reasons defined for drawback in the system:

o Lack of civic sense and bad habits of people to litter

o Lack of public awareness, motivation, and education
o Lack of cooperation from households, trade, and commerce
o Lack of stringent panel provision
o Lack of powers to levy spot fines
o Lack of litter bins in the city
o Long distance between community bins
o Resistance to change in attitude
o Lack of wide publicity through electronic and print media waste
o Lack of public awareness and motivation, resulting in poor
o response from citizens
o Lack of citizens’ understanding how to use separate bins for storage of recyclables
o Lack of sufficient knowledge of benefits of segregation
o Lack of cooperation and negative attitude of people
o Lack of finances to create awareness
o Difficulty of educating slum dwellers
o Lack of effective legal remedy

2.7 Enforcement Methods

Source segregation of wastes (especially organic wastes) will not only bring economic benefit, but will
also make the recycling of other components more efficient. A systematic source segregation program
for solid wastes (including food waste, plastic, paper and board, metal and glass) was started in some
parts of the country. In this program at the first step necessary information is given to citizens by
posters, Pamphlets, books, and face to face education. Then special bags (in different colors) are
delivered to citizens in order to separate MSW components. Some gift rewarded to people for more
participation.

Because of population increasing and changes in lifestyle, the quantity and quality of MSW has
changed. Some of the enforcement methods are necessary to improve the current state of solid waste
management like:

 Public education in order to increase public participation (Including waste reduction, Waste
separation at source etc.)
 Training program to increase awareness on Occupational Health and safety for the employees
 Establishment of appropriate policies, legal frameworks and financial management for
municipal waste management.
 Segregation of household hazardous wastes such as used pesticide containers, paints and
different type of used batteries using special containers in different regions of the city.

18
  Improving the traditional waste collection system, such as upgrading vehicles, regular
collection time and frequency.
 Aware them for no open burning and prohibit scavenging
 Door-to-door collection carried out along with street sweeping
 Awareness and Attitudes
Public awareness of and attitudes toward waste can affect the entire SWM system. All steps in
SWM from household waste storage to waste segregation, recycling, collection frequency,
amount of littering, willingness to pay for services, and opposition to the siting of treatment and
disposal facilities—depend on public awareness and participation. Thus, awareness and
attitudes are crucial to the success or failure of a SWM system.

 Institutions and Legislation

Institutional issues include current and anticipated legislation and the extent to which laws are
enforced. Standards and restrictions may limit the technological options that can be considered.
Government policy on the role of the private sector (formal and informal) should also be taken
into account.

 Enforcement by imposing fines

Whosoever litters the street /or public places or deposits or throws or causes or permits to be
deposited or thrown any solid waste or construction debris at any place in contravention of the
provisions of this Act permits the flow of any filthy matters from his premises shall be punished
on the spot with a fine not less than Rs.50/- as may be prescribed under the rules framed by the
State Govt. from time to time. Such spot fines may be collected by officers authorized by the
Municipal Corporation/Municipality, not below the rank of sanitary inspector. The amount of
fine imposed shall be recoverable as arrears of property taxes. The amount of fine shall be kept
higher for repeat offences.

The powers to levy such penalty should also be delegated to railway authorities, cantonment
authorities, notified areas, which are outside the purview of municipal corporations or
municipalities in various cities so that the areas under their control can also remain neat and
clean.

3.1 INTRODUCTION
Waste in whatever form it may be has to be immediately disposed off in a safe and a hygienic manner.
As described in Units 7, 8 & 9 this waste is being efficiently collected by the Municipal Agencies on a
regular basis to make our living spaces amiable and clean, but where does this huge heap of waste go? It
has been an age old practice by most developing as well as developed countries to dump this waste in a
low lying area on the fringes of the city. But in the last decade our urban areas have ballooned
arithmetically and our waste geometrically, and simply disposing off/dumping this waste is no longer a
solution, as this has shown to lead to many adverse effects. Also land is a prime resource these days; a
day will soon come when the civic agencies will no longer have land to dump the waste. It is therefore
of utmost importance to treat/process these wastes before disposing them. Treatment makes the MSW
into an object of immense usability by addition of value to it; Unit 13 will explain how waste is recycled
into the consumption cycle. Treatment also sanitizes/disinfects the MSW so that when disposing it does
not become a health hazard.
There is a catch here, not all waste can be reused or recycled or treated to make it useful, and also
treatment of waste generates considerable amount of residue, these obviously have to be disposed off.
The safest way to dispose these wastes is to dump them in a Modern Sanitary Landfill which will be
detailed in further units.

Objectives
After studying this unit you should be able to:
 List down the various common treatment and disposal options
 Know that the characteristic of waste determines the nature of treatment
 Understand the need for proper treatment and safe disposal of waste

3.2 TREATMENT & DISPOSAL OPTIONS– AN OVERVIEW

Treatment in all contexts cannot be disconnected to characteristics or properties of the subject, likewise
in Waste treatment the treatment technology to be applied is dictated by some specific properties of the
waste, these properties or characteristics also define up to what time they will Composting: It is the
cycle in nature before ultimately sent to a landfill. process of converting

biomass, agricultural waste, animal dung, poultry droppings, etc. is bio- soil bacteria.
degradable therefore can be converted into Compost (Discussed in detail in

21
further units), and used as manure for plants.
In case of dry waste since it is made up of many different substances there are more options available.
We can recycle the plastics, reuse them or even convert the plastics into pellets for energy generation in
a waste-to-energy plant. For paper, it can be recycled as corrugated boards, handmade paper bags, etc.
In the case of glass, it also can be reused or recycled. Day in & day out, we have been developing
Infrastructure for the country, thereby creating a lot of building debris and putting pressure on our
existing landfills.
New technologies have been developed that can even create strong building materials from building
debris, therefore reducing the burden on the Landfills. Therefore you can observe that out of the various
options or technologies available for treating waste (the technologies available have been detailed in
further units), the decision of which is to be used for what rests solely on these specific properties of the
waste under consideration.

3.3 SIGNIFICANCE OF PROPER TREATMENT AND DISPOSAL

Environmentalists keep on emphasizing that we need to clean up the mess, and we have further
strengthened this argument till now, but why do we need to know about all this, what are the
implications of waste in our lives? What is its significance?

We can answer these questions by viewing the problem and understand its significance in four different
aspects

3.3.1 Environmental Significance:

Solid waste that is generally dumped outside contains a lot of pollutants and chemicals that are
hazardous to the environment. Solid waste when dumped in the open leads to generation of
methane- a highly potent Green House gas as a result of rotting of
the organic substances in the waste. There is also a danger of the
toxic substances in the waste such as heavy metals, pigments,
industrial/household chemicals leaching into the underground
aquifers or even just mixing up with local water sources such as
streams/rivers due to runoff. These substances will severely damage
the local plants and animals that are dependent on these sources.

3.3.2 Social Significance:

Aesthetics are also dependent on sound waste treatment and management. Nobody likes to live
with foul smell and nuisance on the streets. In order to make an area amiable/livable, it has to be
clean and also hygienic. This is achievable only when waste generated by the locality is dealt
with effectively. We also should not follow the principle of “out of

 burden on the landfills. Waste to wealth can also be achieved in other ways, like resource
recovery from waste dumps. Most of the waste metal is recyclable or reusable; if we can
streamline the process of recovering and value addition we can create a self-sustaining revenue
generation model from waste. Resource recovery can also include glass, Construction debris,
and even hard plastics.
Wet or Organic waste can also be called a resource, as it can be used in many ways to generate
revenue. Household waste can be used to generate compost, bio-fertilizers which can compete
with chemical fertilizers in the market. Agricultural and animal husbandry waste can be used to
generate Biogas, which has high calorific value. These days household waste is also used in
mushroom-culture, where moist mats of the waste are used as a surface to grow mushrooms.

toxins like dioxins, phthalates, and organic compounds. Heavy metals like cadmium, arsenic,
chromium, mercury are also found in this leachate, which are highly toxic to humans as well as
to animals & plants. Many volatile organic compounds are also released from the landfills
which pollute the surrounding region’s atmosphere causing respiratory diseases and other
complications.

3.4 SUMMARY
We have till now learnt the importance of treatment and safe disposal of waste, let us now summarize
whatever we have learnt.

Solid waste has to be disposed off in a safe and hygienic manner. We have to employ some of the
available treatment technologies to treat the waste thereby reducing the burden on landfills. Some of the
waste can be reused or recycled after value addition which is beneficial in many ways.

Solid Waste has many characteristics and knowledge of them is very important to decide on a treatment
method. Characters such as size, density, chemical, thermal & mechanical properties are the most
important of these.

There are many important ways we can justify the need for treating the waste we generate. There are
many pollutants which when leach into the soil and water bodies cause harm to the environment and
also public health. Aesthetically untreated waste will make a city or town unfriendly to its residents.
Waste can also generate wealth; we can recover some resources and market them after addition of value
to it. We can streamline the waste-based enterprises thereby providing the poor and marginalized better
livelihood possibilities.

Solid waste is a major cause of concern for public health as it attracts disease vectors, which perpetuate
many contagious diseases. It is also a potential source of toxic and hazardous substances which
adversely affect human health.

4.1 INTRODUCTION
Recycling involves processing of waste into new products to prevent waste of potentially useful
materials. It reduces the consumption of fresh raw materials, energy use, air pollution from incineration
and water pollution from landfilling. It lowers the need for waste disposal and greenhouse gas
emissions. Recycling is a key component of waste reduction and is the third component of the "Reduce,
Reuse, Recycle" waste hierarchy. In recycling process, household, commercial and industrial wastes are
recovered and reduce the burden on the environment.

The main aim of recycling is to save natural resources (including oil, gas, coal, mineral ores, and trees)
and reduce the pollution of air, water and land.

Objectives
After studying this unit you should be able to:

 define Recycling
 describe some examples of recycling
 describe the process of recycling
 define how recycling save our resources, energy and reduce pollution
 describe the importance of recycling

4.2 RECYCLING
Recycling means the reprocessing of used materials that would otherwise become waste. Recycling is
most common for valuable materials or materials that are costlier if produced from virgin raw materials
(such as metal, plastic, glass and electronic waste). Recycling of organic matter produces compost,
which can be used as a soil enricher in gardens and horticulture and which contributes to improved
agricultural production.

24
4.2.1 The 3R Concept
The 3R concept is reduce, reuse, and recycle. This hierarchy classified waste management strategies
according to their potential to minimize waste. Waste reduction, reuse, and recycling are the main
categories that we need to focus on regarding the 3R concept. The objective is to reduce the amount of
waste that is disposed of in landfills. The 3R concept corporate among waste generators, waste
collectors, processors, and manufacturers.

Ideally, the 3R concept will be applied as early as possible in the waste generation and management
chain so that managers of waste-

• Can maintain the high material quality and value of recyclable waste materials
• Can reduce the loss of valuable natural resources and virgin raw materials
• Can limit pollution of land
• Can reduce long-distance transport of waste
• Can reduce landfill space requirements and environmental pollution
• Can minimize the costs of both production of goods and management of Waste

4.2.2 Current 3R Practices in India

In most cases, materials that have some value are not lost in India. Recycling is practiced by several
stakeholders at different points in the SWM chain. However, at present there is a lack of coordination
among the stakeholders and therefore still large scope for improvement.

Municipal Authorities
Currently, municipal authorities do not play a major role in recycling because they concentrate mainly
on waste collection, transport, and disposal. Some municipalities have recognized the potential of
recycling to reduce the amount of waste going to landfills and are involved in recycling.

Households
The old tradition of households and small businesses selling reusable and recyclable materials such as
newspaper, plastic bags, bottles, clothes, tins, and glass to waste purchasers at the doorstep is well
known. As their incomes increase, people abandon the behavior of segregating waste at home and tend
to throw away all such materials with other domestic (organic and inorganic) waste.

Informal Sector
Rag pickers collect waste from households, public waste bins, the streets, and the landfill site. Rag
pickers collect and sort recyclables and sell them to intermediaries, who have the space to further clean,
sort, and store the waste. The current practice of material recovery and recycling often causes additional
littering in streets when rag pickers search in the waste bags and bins. This problem frequently leads to
a ban on rag pickers in residential areas, although residential areas are the best places to retrieve
recyclable waste.

NGOs as Intermediaries
Municipal services collect waste only from public bins; NGOs recognized the service gap and started
offering door-to-door collection services to households. Many organizations and self-help groups tried
to involve rag pickers in door-to-door collection. The biggest challenge is to convince households to
pay for the new service and to allow rag pickers to collect waste from the doorstep.

5.2.3 3R in the Municipal Solid Waste (Management and Handling) 2016 Rules
Schedule II of the 2016 rules lays out mandatory directions for waste segregation and processing within
municipal management services. Awareness campaigns and community participation are key tools for
implementing the 3R concept. With respect to segregation of municipal solid wastes, the rules state as

25
follows: In order to encourage the citizens, municipal authority shall organize awareness programs for
segregation of wastes and shall promote recycling or reuse of segregated materials.

4.3 Process of Recycling

In first step of Recycling:

Keep four separate containers for Dry, Wet, Toxic and Soiled waste and make a habit of dropping
things into the appropriate containers.

Dry Waste: Scraps of paper, plastic, metal, glass pieces, rags, rubber, leather, crockery and even some
containers which are normally not taken by raddiwalas, can all go into a white bag or bin, used
cardboard, carton, sack or basket. This can be given to the ragpicker once or twice in a week.

Wet Waste: kitchen waste such as vegetable peels and remaining of fruits, vegetables, bone and meat
can be fed to domestic animals or along with left overs and rotten food, garden litter, hedge clipping and
the like, can be collected in green covered bins and composted in homes, schools, gardens and parks or
in neighborhood composting sites.

Toxic Waste: Unused toxic material such as expired medicines, pesticides, chemicals, used batteries,
tubelights etc., have to be stored in black bags or bins and disposed off in a proper manner with the
help of municipality or other government bodies.

Soiled Waste: Soiled and infected cotton, drips, injection syringes and needles, diapers, sanitary
napkins, dressings, used tissues and condoms should be collected in red bins or bags tight at the mouth
and left in the corporation bin meant for safe disposal in sanitary landfills or in those meant for
collection by the common Biomedical Waste Treatment facility operator.

Recycling of Each Category of Waste:

Waste Paper Organic Waste

Waste Metal Waste Glass

26
4.4 Plastic Bags and Plastic Waste recycling:

PLASTIC RECYCLING IF DONE PROPERLY IN MEDIUM OR LARGE SCALE UNITS

WITH POLLUTION CONTROL DEVICES CAN BE USEFUL IN MANUFACTURING
STRUCTURALS SUCH AS PARK BENCHES, TELEPHONE ANDEVEN CATAMARANS.

Small and unapproved plastic recycling Units reprocess plastic waste which have been bought and
collected from houses, offices, shops and institutions and picked from dumpsites, bins and gutters by
ragpickers and sold to agents for small amount. Ragpickers render a great service to us by removing in
this way is extremely harmful to all of us.

29
4.5 Paper Waste Recycling:

Paper is biodegradable but when dumped in landfills with other wastes, it is cut off from the natural
environment, such as air and microbes needed for decomposition, and cannot degrade as fast as it should.
However, a paper thrown in the landfill results in loss of natural fibre or biomass forever. The best way to
handle all the paper waste is by reusing and recycling it.

Method for recycling of paper:

Sorting of paper

Shredding and pulp making

Lifting of paper sheets

Drying

Making new products from recycled paper

4.6 Wet Waste or Kitchen Waste Recycling

Composting

Composting is a natural and safe method of taking care of organic waste. In nature all dead material is
gradually acted upon by the forces of nature such as sun, wind, rain and microbes which serve to
breakdown complex material in to simpler molecules. If such material left to decay on roadsides or
market places, it begins to decompose and stink and also invites insects, rodents and bacteria which cause
and spread diseases. Instead of process of decomposition can be used to convert organic waste which we
generate everyday (in our homes, restaurants, offices, schools, canteens, markets and gardens) to produce
a rich compost which can help us keep surroundings clean and green.

Composting can help us

 Obtain a natural fertilizer; this is a simple method of fertilizing the land and improving soil
structure. It also increases aeration, organic matter and microbial life in soil.
 Recycle biologically the garden and kitchen waste.
 Reduce the quantity of waste dumped daily at roadside garbage bin

30
Composting materials

All type of organic matter can be composted. Animal excreta especially cowdung, bird droppings, dung of
horses, sheep, goats, pigs, dogs, cats added to the decomposing organic matter hastens composting.
Biological matter that can be composted

Kitchen Peels
Waste- Food remains
Egg shells
Tea leaves
Meat, crushed bones
Rotten vegetables and fruits
Garden Fallen leaves
Waste- Dead leaves
Weeds (dry)
Harvest residues
Fallen fruits and flowers
Insanitary Uninfected sanitary napkins, diapers (both without and their plastic
Waste- shields). This must be composted separately

Organic Matter Decomposition

Organic Matter Decomposition for production of organic manure can take place in the absence of air,
presence or in presence of earthworms and is referred to as anaerobic, aerobic or vermicompost
respectively.

Anaerobic

In anaerobic method of obtaining organic manure, the organic matter is decomposed in the absence of air,
Organic matter may be collected in pits and covered with a thick layer of soil and left undisturbed for 6-8
months. The compost so formed may not be completely covered and may include aggregated masses.

Biomethanation

Biological breakdown of purely organic matter by bacteria in the absence of oxygen produces a mixture
of methane and CO. This is biogas. Biogas is an alternative of cooking fuel which is cheap and clean.
This biogas generated by fermentation of segregated organic matter is cleaner and has higher methane
content than a comparable gas generated from wastes decomposing in landfill sites (where it is called
gas).

Aerobic

Aerobic composing is a process by which organic waste is converted to compost or manure in the
presence of air. Aerobic composting is of different types. It is very important to ensure proper movement
of air through the mass by turning and raking.

1. Heap Method: All available organic matter is divided into different type e.g. (a) hard stalks and
wooden biomass (b) carbon rich, soft biomass (straw, saw dust etc.) (c) N2 rich biomass (grass,
animal feeds wastes, weeds, and excreta). First types of materials are spread as 15-20 cm thick

31
 base for the heap. This is covered with alternate layers of 20 cms and 10 cms thickness
respectively of 2nd and 3rd types into a heap of about 1.5 mts height. Now heap should covered
with a thin layer of soil/ dry leaves. The heap needs to be thoroughly mixed by turning the whole
material after 7-10days complete conversion takes place after 2-3 weeks.

2. Pit Method: In this method layers of material used in the heap method are placed in a pit of 1
meter depth. Length and breadth of the pit vary with quantity of material available for
composting. The filled pit is then covered with soil. The contents should mix every 15 days until
compost is ready.

3. Berkley Method: This method is very fast. By this method compost can produce within 2 weeks.
Easily biodegradable material such as grass cuttings and green vegetable matter are collected and
mixed with dry animal matter in 2:1ratio. This can be height of 1.5 metres and is left for 3 days
after moistening. On the 4th day the pile should thoroughly mixed. This should repeat on 7th and
10th day. In 2 weeks compost will be ready for use.

It must be noted that composting requires the constant maintenance of temperature of 55 degrees
C and 50 percent moisture. Temperature builds up in the heap or pit with the passage of time

32
Vermicomposting

“Vermi” stands for process facilitated by worms. Earthworms eat soil and various kinds of organic matter
which undergo complex biochemical changes in the intestines which are than excreted out in the form of
granular castes of earthy smell. Earthworm excreta together their cocoons and undigested food are called
vermin-castings. Some earthworm species which live close to the surface and have greater preference for
organic matter than soil can be isolated and used to produce vermin-castings. Species found best suited
for the generation of manure by this method are Eudrilus eugeniae, Eisenia fetida and Perionyx
excavatus.

Earth Culturing Techniques and Production of Vermicastings

1. Containers: Earthworm culturing can be done in shallow cement tanks, wooden boxes and stone
lined pits or plastic tubs of 1m*0.3m which can accommodate around 2000 worms.

2. Placement of culture material: Culturing of earth worms has to be done in moist place with
proper shelter to avoid direct sunlight or heavy downpour. To ensure protection from predators’
pits should be lined and covered with mesh.

3. Preparation of feed mix: Saw dust/ coconut husk or any other hard material can be used as base.
Dung of domestic animals such as cattle, horse, pigs or poultry droppings mixed with kitchen
wasters forms an ideal feed for worms.

4. Vermicast production and collection: The worm that feed actively assimilate only 5-10 percent
and the rest is excreted as loose granular mounds of vermicasting on the surface, generally away
from the food source. The collected casting has to be left overnight in conical heaps for the
worms to move to the bottom. The tops of the cones then collected and lightly air dried which are
free of worms are. The dried vermicasting are sieved through a 3 mm mesh to separate cocoons
and young ones from the vermicasting. The dried casting is ready for use as manure.

4.7 Recycling Materials

Almost every material can be recycled; however, the value of the recycled material can vary significantly
depending on the demand and uses for it. Indeed the value of a material is the driving factor for private
recycling initiatives or the informal sector. If and how a material is recycled depends not only on local
policies but also on the availability of a buyer, processing facilities, and a transport chain. From collected
waste, the following materials can be recycled.

Paper
We all know that paper is made from wood pulp. To make one ton of paper, 17 trees need to be brought
down. However, if waste paper is remade into pulp in making of paper, it will save trees.

Plastic Bottles
Many plastic water and drink bottles are made from PET (polyethylene terephthalate) plastic. Plastic
bottles are difficult to recycle. PET can be recycled and this will use roughly 33 percent of the energy to
make plastic from scratch.

33
Glass
Recycling glass into new products uses 80 percent of the energy required to make new glass. This is a
smaller energy savings than some other materials

Aluminum
Recycling an aluminum can uses only five percent of the energy needed to make a can from bauxite ore,
the natural source of aluminum.

4.8 How does Recycling Save Energy, Natural resources and Help to
Reduce Air and Water Pollution

Recycling Save Energy

Making new products from raw materials requires a lot of energy. By the process of Recycling, used
materials can be used again and it does not require as much energy. Most household waste can be
recycled. Paper, plastic, metal, glass and rags can be used for recycling and wet waste or kitchen waste
can generate compost rich for plant.

Recycling Save Natural Resources

Recycling is important because fewer raw materials are used and natural resources are saved. Recycling
process uses old materials to make new products, fewer raw materials are needed. Recycling also saves
natural resources like some of the coal, natural gas, wood, or water that would have been used to
manufacture new products. Recycling contributes to increase resource in production. Recycling can help
us to save our natural resources for our future generations and maintain the balance of the nature.

Recycling Help to Reduce Air and Water Pollution

Recycling reduces air and water pollution because the recycling process requires less energy. Recycling
reduces the amount of air pollution produced by power plants and the amount of water pollution produced
by chemicals used in the manufacturing process. Reusing reduces air and water pollution even more,
because no energy is required to reuse items, and reusing items does not involve the manufacturing
process.

4.9 Importance of Recycling and Our Action to Reduce Waste

4.9.1 Importance of Recycling

Recycling your waste makes you more responsible in the way you use and dispose of it. Individuals,
governing bodies and companies can take pride in minimizing their waste as they are helping to reduce
global environmental damage and making this earth a better place on which to live. It is a direct
contribution that everyone can take price in.

 For the managers of waste:

 Reduction of waste volume

 Cost savings in collection, transportation, and disposal
 Longer life span for landfills

34
 Reduction of adverse environmental impacts

 For the economy:

 Reduction of imports (for fertilizers or soil amendments) and thus less foreign currency required
 Job opportunities and income for the people
 Cheap products (made from recycled materials) for the poor

 For the environment:

 Sustainable use of resources: for example, less energy consumption and thus less pollution
 Reduced amount of waste going to storage sites, resulting in a more manageable system

 Some other benefits of recycling:

 Recycling Conserves Resources:

When we recycle, used materials are converted into new products, reducing the need to consume natural
resources. If used materials are not recycled, new products are made by extracting fresh, raw material
from the Earth, through mining and forestry. Recycling helps conserve important raw materials and
protects natural habitats for the future.

 Recycling builds community:

Many charities and community groups raise money through reusing and recycling goods. People even-
1. Work together
2. Communicate
3. Share ideas
4. Support eachother

 Recycling Reduces Toxic E-Waste:

E-waste is valuable as a source of secondary raw material but also toxic if disposed of improperly. Due to
rapid technology change, obsolescent items have created a fast growing mass of electronic waste around
the globe. Repurposing electronic equipment involves dismantling of parts into metals, plastics and so on
and individually processing them depending on the available technology.

4.10 Our Action to Reduce Waste

Say no to plastic carry bag!

We should carry a cloth bag instead of plastic bag!

Discourage shopkeepers and vendors from vendors from giving plastic bag to customers. Instead ask for
paper or jute bags and pay for them. Better still, carry your own bag.

Burning of plastics gives off toxic fumes, which are extremely harmful to human health.

Don’t throw plastic bags in your surroundings, in gutters or on roads and stop others if they do so.

35
Avoid single of plastics like disposable purposes such as plastic bags, bubble packaging, plastic cups,
plates spoons, straws etc.

Always reuse the plastic container if you have to buy goods in plastic containers. Don’t allow wrong type
of like putting hot milk or tea in plastic water bottle or pesticide containers. Don’t put kerosene or
pesticides in containers meant for food packaging. They will get reprocessed as containers for food and
water and toxins will come back to you.

Give plastic containers and other recyclable plastic products to kabadiwalla but make sure that containers
of toxic products like cleaners, detergents, pesticides and harmful chemicals are recycled into structural or
sent to landfills through an organized garbage stream.

Every action counts!

4.11 Summary

The unit shows recycling of inorganic and organic materials from MSW through the activities of the
informal sector and municipal authorities. Some key factors that affect the potential for resource recovery
are the cost of separating recyclable material and the separated material, its purity, its quantity and its
location. The costs of storage and transport are major factors that determine the economic potential for
resource recovery. Recycling is often well established in the informal sector because it is done in a very
labor-intensive way and provides very low incomes.

The unit shares provides a good insight on how to involve the community, nongovernmental
organizations, and help improve the efficiency and cost effectiveness of the service, and shows to involve
the private sector in SWM and recycling.

The unit will be a very useful tool for Municipal Corporation and various stakeholders who deal with
municipal solid waste management and recycling process.

3. How recycling help to reduce air and water pollution?

4. What action we should take to reduce waste?

4.13 Answers
1. The 3R concept is reduce, reuse, and recycle. The concept is based on the waste management
hierarchy. This hierarchy classified waste management strategies according to their potential to
minimize waste.

5 SANITATION AND FAECAL SLUDGE AND SEPTAGE
MANAGEMENT (FSSM)
5.1 Associated Terminology

i. Faecal sludge is raw or partially digested in slurry or semisolid form, the collection, storage or
treatment of combinations of excreta and black water, with or without grey water. It is the solid or
settled contents of pit latrines and septic tanks. The physical, chemical and biological qualities of
faecal sludge are influenced by the duration of storage, temperature, soil condition, and intrusion
of groundwater or surface water in septic tanks or pits, performance of septic tanks, and tank
emptying technology and pattern.1

ii. Septage is the liquid and solid material that is pumped from a septic tank, cesspool, or such on-
site treatment facility after it has accumulated over a period of time. In other words, septage is the
combination of scum, sludge and liquid that accumulates in septic tanks.
The effluent from the septic tank can be collected in a network of drains and/or sewers and
treated in a treatment plant designed appropriately. The accumulating sludge at the bottom of the
septic tank however, has to be also removed and treated once it has reached the designed depth or
at the end of the designed desludging frequency whichever occurs earlier. While sucking out the
sludge, the liquid in the septic tank also gets sucked out. Such a mixture is referred to as septage.2
Safe disposal of septage is crucial in order to avoid negative impact on public health. Due to
incorrect designs of the septic tanks and twin pits, there are risks of waste water ending up mixing
with ground water which leads to its contamination resulting in water borne diseases.

39
 iii. Wastewater is water that has been used for various human consumption (domestic, agricultural,
commercial or industrial) purposes. Wastewater generated from households is also called
domestic wastewater. It should ideally go into a piped conveyance system or into a containment
system. Domestic wastewater mainly constitutes of black water and grey water.

iv. Grey water is one that does not contain excreta, for example, waste water from kitchen/bath and
or laundry. Grey water is generated from activities such as cooking, washing clothes, dishes etc.

v. Black water is the waste water from a community, containing solid and liquid excreta.3 Black
water is generated from the toilet, which contains human excreta.

vi. A Sanitation Value Chain is a diagrammatic representation of the movement of faeces from
generation to disposal. It has six components:

 User interface
 Collection & storage
 Conveyance
 Treatment
 Reuse
 Disposal

Generation Collection Transportation Treatment Disposal

3 Definition by Central Public Health and Environmental Engineering Organization (CPHEEO),

40
 Figure 2 Sanitation value chain diagram (Source: Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation)

As per the Census of India 2011, 31.16% of the country is urbanized. However, linkages in the sanitation
value chain in urban India have been improper. An excreta-flow diagram of urban India reveals that
only 6.7% of the waste water generated in Indian cities is safely disposed. A staggering 93.3% of the
waste water is either discharged in the open land, agricultural fields or in water bodies. Only 50% of the
waste water is emptied through centralized systems and emptying of On-Site Sanitation (OSS) systems.
Out of this 50%, 34.8% of the waste water is then conveyed to a treatment or disposal site and only 6.6%
gets treated. This has been illustrates in figure 3.

Figure 3 Excreta- Flow Diagram (Source: Census 2011, Data Analysis: (Consortium for DEWATS
Dissemination Society)

41
 vii. Sanitation is defined as safe management of human excreta, including its safe confinement,
treatment, disposal and associated hygiene-related practices.4 Sanitation pertains to management
of human excreta and associated public health and environmental impacts. It is recognized that
integral solutions need to take account of other elements of environmental sanitation, i.e. solid
waste management; generation of industrial and other specialized / hazardous wastes; drainage;
and also the management of drinking water supply. (National Urban Sanitation Policy, 2008)

5.2 Status of Urban Sanitation in India

According to Census 2011, nearly 12% or 95 Lakh urban HHs in India do not have access to toilets and
defecate in the open exposing infants and young children to faeco-orally transmitted infections (FTIs).
According to a study by the MoHUA, Government of India, 23 million children in urban India are at a
risk of diseases due to poor sanitation5. A recent research study published by the Water and Sanitation
Program (WSP) of the World Bank has also attributed the practice of open defecation to excess stunting
in Indian children.6 Similarly, improper treatment and disposal of waste water also poses tremendous
health and environmental risks. As per the National Urban Sanitation Policy (NUSP), discharge of
untreated domestic/municipal waste water has resulted in contamination of 75% of all surface water
across India.

NUSP provides a vision for urban sanitation in India “that all Indian cities and towns become totally
sanitized, healthy and livable and ensure and sustain good public health and environmental outcomes for
all their citizens with a special focus on hygienic and affordable sanitation facilities for the urban poor
and women”.

 Figure 4 Analysis of access, containment and conveyance - Census of India 2011 (Source: CPCB, 2005)

According to census 2011, 81.4% urban households (HHs), country-wide, had access to toilets, and
12.6% HHs, which roughly translates to 40 million individuals, were reported resorting to open
defecation, in vacant fields, bushes, water-bodies, railway-tracks nearby. Effectively, the toilet
coverage statistic reduces to 77.3% when you look for only ‘improved latrines’ (the ones with piped
sewer connections, septic tanks, and improved pit latrines). This again reduces to 70.9% if one discounts
the improved pit latrines7, and even further when one considers the unaccounted/unassessed
dysfunctional and partially functional toilets that we all know exist due to hasty and uninformed
construction choices. An oft cited reason for HHs not using their toilets is due to lack of water supply and
shallow pits and hence a fear that these will get filled up soon.

As per the Census 2011, every one out of five HHs in urban areas does not have a HH toilet and have
to depend on shared facilities. About 17.4% of the urban population dwells in slum areas with 36.1%
being in notified slums, 27.6% in recognized slums and 36.3% in identified slums. The coverage of
individual toiletsin slums is 66% at the national level which is very low as compared to the coverage of
81.5% at a pan-city level. A majority of these HHs thus have to depend on using a community or a public
toilet.8 However, there are several challenges such as social and caste hierarchy, fragmented institutional
roles and responsibilities, lack of an integrated city-wide approache and reaching the un-served and the
poor. Our next sections will delve into these issues in detail.

7
The purpose of doing so would be due to the fact that the census data does not clearly demarcate between
improved twin-pit latrines (which are now benchmarked as the minimum criteria for having a toilet) and single-pit
latrines. Census describes ‘slab/ventilated improved pit latrines’ that those that have provision for night soil fall
directly into the pit underground, has a slab/platform to prevent water from entering the pit, is easy to clean, and has
a ventilation pipe overhead.

5.3 History of Sanitation Efforts and the Shifting Paradigm towards FSSM

Sanitation was included as an agenda item in Government of India’s First Five Year Plan (1951-56), but
the focus of the Central Government in the 1950s was largely on housing and redevelopment of slums. In
the 1960s and 1970s, urban policy in India began taking a more concrete shape. There was a huge focus
on promoting planned development of cities through the implementation of master plans. When the 1981
Census revealed that 23.3% of Indian population lived in cities, most cities were characterized by lack of
infrastructure, planning and unimproved sanitation facilities.

It was during this time that the Central government shifted from urban policy to infrastructure
development. Sanitation became a prerogative of the local governments only with the passage of the
landmark 74th Constitutional Amendment Act in 1992 that recognized cities and towns as the third tier of
government through the constitution of Urban Local Bodies (ULBs). Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban
Renewal Mission (JNNURM), a massive urban renewal program targeting integrated development of
urban infrastructure in 63 identified cities, mandated reforms and preparation of City Development Plans
(CDP) that charted out plans by cities as to how they would develop land-use, transport and other basic
infrastructure including sanitation. There was provision of funds and focus on creating sewage network
and treatment facilities. However, all funds allocated to the sanitation sector were spent on construction of
underground sewerage projects9.

 Figure 6 Initiatives in the sanitation sector in India: A timeline (Source: Urban Management Centre,
2017)

At the national level, the infrastructure driven approach started moving towards a holistic, integrated,
people centered approach with the release of the National Urban Sanitation Policy (NUSP) in 2008. The
policy moves away from prescribing piecemeal infrastructure solutions such as construction of toilets or
STPs towards planning and implementing measures related to sanitation in various sectors as a cross-
cutting issue. In order to get a sense of the current status of sanitation in India's cities, a survey was
initiated by the Ministry of Urban Development (MoUD, now MoHUA) as a part of the National Rating
and Award Scheme for Sanitation for Indian Cities in 2010. The findings and the rankings of the
cities according to the survey found that the situation was grim with only 25 cities topping the list, while
majority of the others lagged behind in terms of a number of sanitation parameters. The rating and award
scheme had been taken up under the NUSP initiative.

Prohibition of Employment as Manual Scavengers and their Rehabilitation Act 2013 came into force on
December 2013 across India except Jammu and Kashmir. The law prohibits the employment of manual
scavengers, the manual cleaning of sewers and septic tanks without protective equipment and the
construction of insanitary latrines. The law also provides rehabilitation of manual scavengers and
alternative employment to them within the time bound manner. From then onwards, the construction and
maintenance of the insanitary latrines is considered an offence, and therefore no one could be employed or
engaged as a manual scavenger.

The Government of India (GOI) launched the Swachh Bharat Mission (SBM) in 2014 with the vision of
ensuring hygiene, waste management and sanitation across the nation. Apart from waste management,
some of the key thrust areas of the Mission are as follows:

 Elimination of open defecation

 Eradication of Manual Scavenging by converting insanitary toilets to sanitary

45
  Effecting behavioural change regarding healthy sanitation practices
 Awareness generation about sanitation and its linkage with public health

It is important to note that the Open Defecation Free (ODF) city/ward is the ultimate outcome envisaged
under SBM. A city / ward can be notified/ declared as ODF city/ ODF ward if, at any point of the day, not
a single person is found defecating in the open. ODF is the termination of faecal-oral transmission, defined
by,

i. No visible faeces found in the environment/surroundings; and

ii. Every household as well as public/community institutions are using Safe option10 for disposal of
faeces.

In order to show commitment to addressing this issue, the National Policy on Faecal Sludge and Septage
Management (FSSM) was issued by MoHUA, with the vision of making Indian cities and towns healthy
and liveable and ensure sustenance of good sanitation practices with improved Onsite Sanitation Services
together with faecal sludge and septage management.

5.4 Issues in Faecal Sludge and Septage Management (FSSM)

During 2015, the estimated sewage generation in the country was Quick Fact
61,754 MLD as against the developed sewage treatment capacity of
22,963 MLD.

Because of the hiatus in sewage treatment capacity, about 38,791

MLD of untreated sewage (62% of the total sewage) is discharged
directly into nearby water bodies (CPCB, 2016). There are 920
STPs in different States/UTs out of which, 615 STPs are
operational, 80 STPs are non-operational, 154 STPs are under
construction and 71 STPs are under planning stage. 11

10
Safe technology option means no contamination of surface soil, ground water or surface water; excreta
inaccessible to flies or animals; no handling of fresh excreta; and freedom from odour and unsightly condition
11
Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB), 2016

46
 Table 1 List of Indian States with STPs

Due to improper solid waste management system, huge quantum

of solid waste including plastic reaches the STPs as an influent Quick Fact
which often causes the machinery to break down and reduce
treatment efficiency. Mechanical screens installed in STPs
become dysfunctional, due to irregular usage and improper and
maintenance. In addition to this, the O&M staff are not fully
skilled in dealing with such issues, which aggravates the
problem.

Certain states like UP, Bihar and, even Delhi, experience

frequent power cuts and do not possess standby arrangements
during power cuts to meet the power requirement for running the
plant. Frequent and long power cuts and subsequent sudden
discharges into the STP also cause shock loads to various units
of the STP, thus greatly affecting the efficiency of the treatment. Majority of state governments or
implementing agencies are not able to provide sufficient and regular funds for the O&M of STPs
resulting in unsatisfactory performances. The revenue from STPs is negligible or far less than the
expenditure required for the proper O&M of the STPs.12

Bulletin, Vol.1)

5.5 Need for Faecal Sludge and Septage Management (FSSM)

One of the manifestations of lack of solid and
liquid waste management is found in the form of
polluted storm water drain channels. These drains,
that were originally supposed to carry storm
water, have transformed into gutters carrying
domestic wastewater and solid waste resulting in
choking and reduction of their overall carrying
capacity. As a result, during rains, these drains
overflow into the streets thereby posing health

Figure 8 Solid and liquid waste disposal in storm water drains

risks to the public.

Lack of liquid waste treatment facilities results in

indiscriminate disposal of sludge collected from on-site
sanitation systems such as septic tanks and pits into
open area. This in effect negates the environmental
benefits coming from using toilets as the waste is still
getting directly disposed into the environment.
Figure 9 Disposal of faecal sludge in open area

48
Poor sanitation facilities also results in human excreta directly disposed into the environment. This leads
to contamination of water and soil which in turn takes a heavy toll on the health of people, especially
children, who are more susceptible to diseases due to a weak immune system.

Hence the major goals of sanitation may be summed up as followed:

 Public health: Bringing down prevalence of diseases caused by lack of sanitation

 Environment: Prevent or contain the contamination of water, soil and air

 Convenience: Easy and convenient to use facility

 Safety: It shouldn’t expose the user to any harm caused by animals or humans The toilets without
adequate management of waste coming out of it, address only the issues of convenience and
safety leaving the first two goals unaddressed.

5.6 Collection and Storage System

Containment systems for the management of faeces can be
broadly categorized into two, offsite sanitation systems and On-
site Sanitation Systems. Offsite sanitation systems carry the
wastewater collected from the toilet to a single point of
collection and treatment or outlet to water bodies. In OSS
systems, faecal waste is collected in a containment system and
may or may not be treated.26 OSS systems range from a basic
sanitary facility, such as single pit and twin-pit latrines, to a
treatment system that connects a septic tank with a soak pit or a
bio-digester toilet (aerobic and anaerobic). FSSM deals with
OSS systems, which retain waste in a pit, tank or vault
connected to the toilet. On site containment system are of
following types:
Figure 10 Single Pit (Source: (IWA and Eawag))
 Single Pit: It consists of a superstructure and a pit.
Faecal matter is deposited into a pit. Urine and water
percolate into the soil through the bottom of the pit and
wall, while microbial action degrades part of the organic
fraction. Pathogenic germs are absorbed to the soil
surface. In this way, pathogens can be removed prior
to contact with groundwater.

 Twin pits: Twin pits are containment units which also act
as simple treatment units. Two soak pits are constructed
and only one is used at a time. Once the first pit fills up,
the pit is closed and the faecal matter is allowed to
decompose. Meanwhile the second pit is used to Figure 11 Twin pit (Source: IWA and Eawag)

49
 contain the fresh faecal matter. The pits are constructed in adequate size so that by the time the
second pit fills up; the matter in the first pit is completely decomposed and is safe to be applied in
agriculture. The first pit can then be emptied and used, while the second pit remains closed for the
faecal matter to decompose. This type of system can be used in areas where soak pits can be used.

 Septic tank: A septic tank is a

water-tight, single-storied tank
in which sewage is retained long
enough to permit sedimentation
and digestion. It is an
underground tank that treats
sewage by a combination of
solids settling and anaerobic
digestion. The effluents may be
Figure 12 Septic Tank (Source: IWA and Eawag) discharged into soak pits or
small-bore sewers, and the solids have to be pumped out periodically. Bureau of Indian Standards
provides a Code of Practice for Installation of Septic Tanks (IS-2470 Part-1, 1985).

 Urine diversion and composting toilet or ECOSAN:

ECOSAN is a type of toilet in which human excreta,
urine and wash water are separated through specially
designed toilet seats unlike the conventional water
closets where all these are collected together. Excreta
is collected in the chamber constructed below the
toilet seat, urine is collected in a drum/pot kept
outside the toilet and wash water is diverted to a plant
bed raised near the toilet. (Ministry of Drinking Water
and Sanitation)

 Bio-digester toilet: A bio-digester toilet is an

anaerobic multi-compartment tank with inoculum Figure 14 Urine diversion and composting toilet
(anaerobic bacteria) which digests organic material or ECOSAN
biologically. This system converts faecal
waste into usable water and gases in an
eco-friendly manner. This technology has
been developed by Defence Research and
Development Organisation (DRDO) and
advocated in SBM. These toilets are
widely used for 80% treatment of black
water from individual and cluster HHs or
institutional buildings where there is no
sewerage network. Figure 13 Bio digester toilet

5.7 Septage Treatment and Reuse / Disposal

5.7.1 Faecal sludge and septage treatment

Scientific treatment is defined as the use of a chemical, physical or biological agent to preserve or give
particular properties to the liquid waste received from sewer lines in case of a centralized underground
sewer network system and from the desludging vehicle carrying sludge to the inlet of the treatment plant.

The purpose of treating sludge and septage is to reduce harmful pathogens, decrease the BOD, reduce
organic load present in the matter and which finally after stages of biological, mechanical or similar
treatment methods, can be either discharged to farmland, garden or can be re-used for non-potable
purposes such as flushing, laundry, gardening and other similar purposes.

5.7.2 Centralized and De-Centralized systems of treatment

Providing safe waste water conveyance and
treatment systems in cities can be provided by
broadly two approaches:

Centralized waste water treatment plant is a

conventional STP which could be set up in a
city and all waste water can be transported to
the STP via sewer lines. While the
conventional sewerage may be a
comprehensive system for sewage collection
and transport, it also remains as a highly
resource-intensive technology. Consequently, Figure 15 Centralized Treatment
high capital and O&M costs
of this system inhibits its
widespread adoption in all sizes
of urban areas.

In the Decentralized method,

multiple treatment plants of
small capacities can be set up
across the city. It could be in the
cluster of residential areas, in
commercial areas, at the
Figure 16 Decentralized Treatment System (Source: Centre for Science and
individual scale or in the Environment)
industrial units. A decentralized
treatment plant is capable of providing treatment facilities close to the areas served by it and is also able
to serve areas that are situated below the sewerage network and cannot be served by a gravity drainage
network. It also obviates the need for pumping stations, thus saving on energy costs. Decentralized
systems offer the opportunity of wastewater recycling and reuse thus reducing water demand

51
substantially. Such systems in peri-urban areas could provide treated wastewater for agricultural use and
can thus improve agricultural productivity.

Usually centralized systems are adopted where there are limited challenges related to costs and land area
and operative finances are in place. There are two stages in case of centralized systems. The first stage
involves construction of underground sewer network and the second stage involves construction of the
sewage treatment plant (STP). In both the stages there are several intrinsic challenges. Generally, sewer
network is laid down by the ULB/parastatal organization while the STP can either be constructed or
operated by the government or may be commissioned on a Public Private Partnership (PPP) basis.

5.7.3 Decentralized systems for treatment of septage and sludge

Decentralized treatment depends upon the On Site Sanitation (OSS) technologies used for treatment of the
waste. Although most of the times scum and sludge are mixed at the generation point itself, both are
emptied together in the septic tank or any containment method being used. However, there are various
technologies that are adopted separately for scum and sludge treatment. Scum treatment, i.e. treatment of
water part of the septage is done through various technology options such as OSS systems and
Decentralized Wastewater Treatment Systems (DEWATS). Various technology options for waste water
treatment/ Scum treatment are available in the market today. For sludge treatment, on-site treatment
options are not practical and hence decentralized systems such as Faecal Sludge Treatment Plant (FSTP)
or other technologies needs to be deployed.

52
5.8 Best Practices in Faecal Sludge Management (FSM)

Adoption of FSM at Devanahalli

Devanahalli is located at a distance of 39 km north-east of Bangalore and falls under the Directorate of Municipal
Administration (DMA), Government of Karnataka. It has a population of roughly 35,000 and uses partially piped
water system with no sewerage system, which is unviable. Around 90% of the households are equipped with
toilets having single pit, septic tank, twin pit, and open drain. Rest 10% of the households are without toilets and
mostly use open defecation, shared toilets, or public toilets. Hence, a comprehensive FSM system was conceived
by the DMA under the Government of Karnataka.

The FSM service value chain of Devanahalli covers all stages of the faecal sludge treatment, including capture,
storage, transport, treatment, and finally, reuse of the faecal matter. The plant at Devanahalli has the capacity to
serve approximately 30,000 people with the plant spread over an area of 650 square metres. It’s a simple and low
cost O&M plant using the technology of gravity-based biological treatment. The plant was commissioned with a
capital cost of Rs 90 lakhs and has an operating cost of Rs. 24 lakhs per year. The lifecycle cost of the plant is Rs.
1500 per capita, which is very low in itself. The treatment module comprises of six stages that include screening,
sludge–liquid separation, sludge stabilization, dewatering, disinfection, and liquid treatment.

The project has been implemented in the following steps:

i. Trucks brought by DMA followed by service offering from ULB;

ii. FSTP was built for safe treatment of sludge;
iii. An integrated O&M contract for truck and treatment plant was signed; and
iv. Finally, FSM policy, which includes licensing, penalties, and monitoring, was implemented.
The plant has helped prevention of pathogens equal to that produced by 4400 people defecating in the
open every day. More than 100 operators have been trained and the project has evinced interest in local
farmers, who regularly buy treated water and sludge for agricultural purposes. The project has also
been received well among the experts and subject-knowledge holders with more than 350 visitors,
including 100 international visitors and 200 senior officials. It is expected that with increased coverage
by the service geographically and increase in operational efficiency of the system, the process would be
self-sustainable in the times to come.

Unit VI:
6 ODF Plus and ODF Plus Plus
6.1 Introduction to SBM ODF Plus and ODF Plus Plus
The Swachh Bharat Mission (SBM), launched on 2nd October 2014, has one of its stated objectives as the
achievement of Open Defecation Free (ODF) status in all the Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) in India, by
October 2019. In a bid to step up the pace of ODF achievement, the Ministry of Housing and Urban
Affairs (MoHUA) is now monitoring outcomes (number of ODF wards and cities) in a focused manner,
rather than outputs (numbers of toilets built). The ODF protocol is being rigorously followed for
declaring and certifying ODF status of cities. With 18 states / UTs and 3,223 cities declared ODF, it is
time to step up the rigour of the process by putting in place additional parameters to ensure the
sustainability and long term impact of the ODF status. SBM ODF+ and SBM ODF++ protocols includes
sustainability aspects including improved access to individual toilets, community and public toilet
maintenance, functionality and liquid waste / fecal sludge and septage management (FSSM).

While the SBM ODF+ protocol focuses on sustaining community/ pubic toilet usage by ensuring their
functionality, cleanliness and maintenance, the SBM ODF++ focuses on achieving sanitation
sustainability by addressing complete sanitation value chain, including safe containment, processing and
disposal of fecal sludge and septage.

6.1.1 ODF: Definitions and Necessary Conditions

The salient features of the ODF protocol laid down by MoHUA have been described ahead.

 Definition of Open Defecation Free city / ward: A city / ward can be notified/declared
as ODF city/ ODF ward if, at any point of the day, not a single person is found defecating
in the open.

 Necessary infrastructure and regulatory conditions to be achieved before declaring

a city/ ward as Open Defecation Free:

1) All households that have space to construct toilet, have constructed one.

2) All occupants of those households that do not have space to construct toilet have
access to a community toilet within a distance of 500 meters.

3) All commercial areas have public toilets within a distance of 1 kilometer.

4) Details of all Individual household toilets (IHHL) constructed from 2011 onwards will
have to mandatorily be uploaded on the SBMUrban portal

5) Pictures of all functional community and public toilets in the city, irrespective of the
date of construction, will have to mandatorily be uploaded on the SBM-Urban portal.
54
  Declarations to be submitted as part of ODF protocol:

1) City/town ODF Declaration from Mayor/ Chairperson

2) Ward ODF Declaration from Ward Councillors, with following sub-declarations:

a. Every school in a ward provides self-declaration that all students enrolled in it have
access to, and are routinely using toilets at home and at school.

b. Every self-help group active in a ward gives a declaration that all residents of that
ward have access to, and are routinely using, toilets at home.

6.8.2 Moving beyond ODF – SBM ODF+ and SBM ODF++

The SBM ODF+ and SBM ODF++ protocols build upon the ODF protocol while keeping
true to its provisions, so as to provide a platform for cities and towns to improve
sanitation sustainability. The protocols are incremental in nature, and reflect on-ground
realities present in India.

6.8.2.1 SBM ODF+: Definitions and Necessary Conditions

 Definition of SBM ODF+ city / ward / work circle: A city / ward / work circle13 can be
notified/declared as SBM ODF+ city/ SBM ODF+ ward/SBM ODF+ work circle if, at any
point of the day, not a single person is found defecating and/or urinating in the open, AND
all community and public toilets are functional and well maintained. Cities that have been
certified ODF atleast once on the basis of the ODF Protocol laid down by MOHUA shall
be eligible to declare themselves as SBM ODF+ and apply for certification of SBM ODF+
status, as per the conditions laid down in this protocol document.

 Necessary infrastructure and regulatory conditions to be achieved before declaring a

city/ ward as SBM ODF+:

1) All applicable conditions for ODF as detailed above, with the following additional
conditions:

a. Individual toilets should be functional and well-maintained, with water availability. b. All
public areas14 have functional public toilets within a span of 1 kilometer.

2) While deciding the number of toilet seats/ urinals and blocks, the city’s entire floating
population must have been considered.

14
Public areas are areas with open access to public, especially those with high footfall (number of people at a given
time) daily/ periodically, including but not limited to parks and gardens, transport hubs (railway stations, airports,
bus stations, etc.), religious areas, tourist sites, historic sites, etc. and not including commercial areas (such as
market areas, bazaars)

55
 3) The city has sufficient mobile toilets/toilet facilities for use during occasions with large
gatherings in a single area i.e. situations with high demand for toilets, where existing facilities
may not be sufficient, regardless of how infrequent these occasions are15.

4) All residential societies with resident welfare associations (RWAs)/housing or mohalla

committees4 have toilet facilities within the premises for the use of male and female
nonresident domestic workers, construction workers, maintenance staff, drivers, etc. that are
clean and usable at all times.

5) City has carried out structural audit of all community / public toilets and carried out
necessary repairs and renovations on the basis of the findings.

6) All functional public and community toilets should be appropriately provisioned and well-
maintained. Each toilet shall be scored as per the framework provided in Annexure 4 and must
score atleast 90% overall to qualify as fulfilling these conditions.

7) ULB / Development Authority / Cantonment Board has notified sanitation service level
benchmarks, at the least adhering to all conditions defined for SBM ODF+ in this protocol
document, in municipal bye-laws (or equivalent, in absence of municipal administration) and
published the same in atleast two dailies with wide reach.

8) The city has issued and notified fines against open defecators, and defined penalty / fine
against concessionaires/maintenance authorities in-charge of community / public toilets in
service contract (with respect to poor maintenance of such toilets).

15
ULB / Cantonment Board / Development Authority shall conduct assessment to ascertain number of toilets
required

56
 6.8.2.2 SBM ODF Plus Declaration Protocol

The following protocol is to be adopted for declaring a city / ward / work circle as SBM ODF+:

Figure 17 SBM ODF Plus Declaration Protocol

The protocol is elaborated below:

1) All the ‘necessary conditions’ on infrastructure and regulations have to be fulfilled by the city / ward /
work circle16

Following the fulfilment of (1) above, a declaration has to be obtained from all wards / Work Circles of
the city/town, without exception, declaring respective wards / work circles as ODF Plus. All wards / work
circles of a city/town shall make this self-declaration and submit to city municipal administration /
development authority as per due process.

16
Work circle applicable only in case concerned area is under jurisdiction of development authority

57
2) The following sub-declarations are to be obtained by the municipal administration / development
authority / cantonment board / wards / work circles, as applicable, in order to facilitate the above self-
declaration:

i. Every school (including schools built after ODF certification) in a ward / work circle provides self-
declaration that all enrolled students2, staff and teachers have access to, and are routinely using toilets at
home or in the community, and at school, and that these toilets are functional and well-maintained, as per
necessary conditions defined for all toilets in Annexures 1(A) and 1(B).

ii. Every self-help group (including SHGs formed after ODF certification) active in a ward / work
circle gives a declaration that all residents of that ward / work circle have access to, and are routinely
using, toilets at home or in the community, and that these toilets are functional and well-maintained.

iii. At least 5% (minimum 5 nos.) RWAs/housing committees in a ward / work circle give a declaration
that there are functional toilet facilities within the premises for the use of male and female non-resident
workers/ staff3 and other working population visiting the society/colony routinely or for extended
hours/days at a time, and that these toilets are clean and usable at all times.

iv. Self-declarations from six citizen categories17 (five representatives in each category per ward / work
circle) that the city/town has functional, clean and usable public toilets available at every 1 kilometre in
public and commercial areas in the ward.

v. Every ward councillor / work circle in charge or engineer18 gives a declaration that all necessary
conditions are fulfilled for all individual, community and public toilets in the jurisdiction.

6.8.3 Swachh Certification for SBM ODF+

Once a city has communicated to the respective state government the final resolution declaring
the city to be SBM ODF+, and the state government has communicated the same to MoHUA
(or in case of development authority or cantonment board, city has directly communicated to
MoHUA), a third party verification process (“Swachh Certification for SBM ODF+”) is to be
adopted, for the final SBM ODF+ certification.

In case of failure in certification, a one-month cooling off period (from date of certification
failure) shall be applicable before the respective city may again request for SBM ODF+
certification.

Subsequently, recertification of SBM ODF+ will happen at fixed intervals (every six months),
so as to ensure that there is no slippage of the SBM ODF+ status.

6.8.3.1 Protocol to be followed for Swachh Certification for SBM ODF+

The following protocol will need to be followed for receiving the Swachh Certification:

17
Citizen categories – Shop Owners, Street Vendors, Bus Drivers, Auto/rickshaw Drivers, Primary Health Centre
In-Charge, Anganwadi Workers
18
Only in case of area under jurisdiction of development authority

58
a. City self-declares itself as “SBM ODF+” for the first time and communicates the same to state SBM
Mission Directorate, which in turn communicates to MoHUA, or directly to MoHUA if under
Development Authority / Cantonment Board.

b. Upon request by City/State to MoHUA, a third party (selected by MoHUA) will mobilize assessors to
conduct the verification within a period of 30 days.

c. For the initial verification, the third party will assess both Service Level Status as well as conduct
Independent Observation.

d. Based upon the result of the assessment, the third party will make recommendations to

Figure 18 Protocol to be followed for Swachh Certification for SBM ODF+

MoHUA for cities to be certified SBM ODF+:

e. MoHUA will subsequently issue a certificate to the city for the same based upon the recommendation
of the third party.

f. The certificate, when issued, will need to be recertified every 6 months.

g. For recertification, upon receiving request, the third party will conduct independent observation within
the city within a period of 30 days. h. It is to be noted that Service Level Status will not be re-checked
during the re-assessment.

6.8.3.2 Methodology for Swachh Certification for SBM ODF+

The verification process will be conducted in two parts:

i. Service Level Status
ii. Independent Observations

59
a. Service Level Status:

i. Preliminary data will be collected in advance by a process of self-assessment from ULBs /

Development Authorities / Cantonment Boards as per the defined protocol.

ii. Third party assessors will visit ULBs / Development Authorities / Cantonment Boards to review the
documentation and collect the data systematically ensuring that the process is independent and unbiased.

b. Independent Observations:

i. ULB / Development Authority / Cantonment Board must mandatorily provide complete city profile
data to MoHUA after SBM ODF+ declaration, to facilitate observations.

ii. The collection of data will be based on physical observation by the third party assessors.

iii. The questionnaire to facilitate data collection will be created by the third party in conjunction with
Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs.

iv. The survey assessors will use IT enabled devices to record their observations and findings along with
photographs.

v. The third party will systematically collect photos as evidence for field observations ensuring that the
location, date and time are tagged on all the pictures.

vi. For the assessment, cities will be classified based on population as below. Based upon the size of the
city, it will be divided into zones.

vii. For cities with greater than 10 lakh population, the city will be divided into 4 zones - North, South,
East and West. viii. For cities with population between 1 – 10 lakh, the city will be divided into 4 zones
– North, South, East and West.

ix. For cities with population less than 1 lakh, the city will be divided into 2 zones – North and South.

x. During community / public toilet assessment, necessary conditions for each toilet will be scored as
per the framework provided in Annexure 4, and additional conditions for each toilet will be scored as per
the framework provided in Annexure 5. A community / public toilet must score at least 90% on both
frameworks to qualify as fulfilling the conditions under SBM ODF+.

xi. All locations shall be within ULB limits and will be finalized at the discretion of the third party. The
selected locations shall not be communicated to ULB / Development Authority / Cantonment Board.

Note: Cities that have been certified SBM ODF+ atleast once on the basis of the
SBM ODF+ Protocol laid down by MoHUA shall thereafter be eligible to
declare themselves as SBM ODF++ and apply for certification of SBM ODF++
status, as per the conditions laid down in this protocol document.

6.8.2.2 Necessary infrastructure and regulatory conditions to be achieved before

declaring a city/ ward as SBM ODF++

1) All necessary conditions for SBM ODF+ (as per the SBM ODF+ protocol laid down
by MoHUA) have been achieved, except that atleast 25% of functional public and
community toilets must adhere to the additional conditions given in Annexure 1 (B).

2) All toilets (individual, community and public) are either connected to:

a. sewer networks; or

b. safe containment systems (such as septic tanks, twin pits or other on-site sanitation
systems prescribed by CPHEEO or under SBM-Urban Mission Guidelines), with regular
emptying, treatment and/or safe disposal of septage from these toilets managed as per

19
Work circle applicable only if concerned area is under jurisdiction of development authority
20
As per recommendation of National Policy on FSSM

62
 5) ULB / Development Authority / Cantonment Board has notified sanitation service
level benchmarks, at the least adhering to all conditions defined for SBM ODF++, in
municipal bye-laws (or equivalent) and published the same in atleast two dailies with
wide reach.

6.8.2.3. SBM ODF++ Declaration Protocol

The following protocol is to be adopted for declaring a city / ward / work circle as SBM
ODF++:
Table 3 protocol is to be adopted for declaring a city / ward / work circle as SBM ODF++

The protocol is elaborated below:

1) All the ‘necessary conditions’ on infrastructure and regulations have to be fulfilled by the
city / ward / work circle21

Following the fulfilment of (1) above, a declaration has to be obtained from all wards / work
circles of the city/town, without exception, declaring respective wards / work circles as SBM

21
Work circle applicable only in case concerned area is under jurisdiction of development authority

63
ODF++. All wards / work circles of a city/town must make this self-declaration and submit to
city municipal administration / development authority / cantonment board as per due process.

2) The following sub-declarations are to be obtained by the municipal administration /

development authority / cantonment board / wards / work circles, as applicable, in order to
facilitate the above self-declaration: i. Every ward councillor / work circle in-charge or
engineer22 gives a declaration that all necessary conditions are fulfilled as per SBM ODF+
protocol, and ward / work circle has been declared as SBM ODF+ to city municipal
administration / development authority / cantonment board as per due process.

i. Every ward councillor / work circle incharge or engineer gives a declaration that all
necessary conditions, as per Annexure 7, are fulfilled for management of faecal matter
from all individual, community and public toilets in the jurisdiction.

ii. Self-declarations from ten citizen categories3 (five representatives in each category) that
the city fulfills all conditions for SBM ODF++.

iii. Every desludging operator gives a declaration (as per format in Annexure 8) that they are
registered with and licensed by the ULB / development authority / cantonment board,
operating through a contract with respective administration/authority to provide sludge/
septage emptying services to households or community and/or public toilets, are utilising
mechanized equipment for providing services, are conveying emptied sludge/septage to
FSTP/STP with cotreatment facility/SWM treatment plant with co-treatment facility and
are not dumping untreated faecal sludge in open environment.

3) On fulfillment of the above, the city municipal administration / development

authority must pass a preliminary resolution or issue a notification in local dailies of wide
reach, declaring the city to be SBM ODF++.

4) Following such resolution/notification, a suitable public announcement must be made

for the same as well, in atleast two newspapers of wide circulation and readership,
inviting public feedback / objection with a fifteen day timeline.

5) If no substantial objections are received at the end of this time, a final resolution is
adopted by the city municipal administration / development authority and the same is
communicated to respective state government.

6) On receipt of the said communication, the state government may have the claim of
the city verified through an appropriate third party verification process (in a time bound
process) before formally according the city the status of being SBM ODF++.

22
Only in case of area under jurisdiction of development authority

64
 7) MoHUA will then carry out the “Swachh Certification for SBM ODF++” process
(detailed later in this document. Issued certificate shall be valid for six months and the
certification process will need to be carried out every six months. In case of failure in
certification, a one-month cooling off period (from date of certification failure) shall be
applicable before the respective city may again request for SBM ODF++ certification.

6.8.2.4 Swachh Certificartion for SBM ODF++

Once a city has communicated to the respective state government the final resolution
declaring the city to be SBM ODF++, and the state government has communicated the
same to MoHUA (or in case of development authority or cantonment board, city has
directly communicated to MoHUA), a third party verification process (“Swachh
Certification for SBM ODF++”) is to be adopted, for the final SBM ODF++ certification.

In case of failure in certification, a one-month cooling off period (from date of

certification failure) shall be applicable before the respective city may again request for
SBM ODF++ certification.

Subsequently, recertification of SBM ODF++ will happen at fixed intervals (every six
months), so as to ensure that there is no slippage of the SBM ODF++ status.

6.8.2.4.1 Protocol to be followed for Swachh Certification for SBM ODF++

The following protocol will need to be followed for receiving the Swachh Certification:
a. City self-declares itself as “SBM ODF++” for the first time and communicates the
same to state SBM Mission Directorate, which in turn communicates to MoHUA, or
directly to MoHUA if under Development Authority / Cantonment Board.
b. Upon request by City/State to MoHUA, a third party (selected by MoHUA) will
mobilize assessors to conduct the verification within a period of 30 days.
c. For the initial verification, the third party will assess both Service Level Status as
well as conduct Independent Observation.
d. Based upon the result of the assessment, the third party will make recommendations
to MoHUA for cities to be certified SBM ODF++.
e. MoHUA will subsequently issue a certificate to the city for the same based upon the
recommendation of the third party.
f. The certificate, when issued, will need to be recertified every 6 months.
g. For recertification, upon receiving request, the third party will conduct independent
observation within the city within a period of 30 days.
h. It is to be noted that Service Level Status will not be re-checked during the re-
assessment.

6.8.2.5 Methodology for Swachh Certification for SBM ODF++

The verification process will be conducted in two parts:

i. Service Level Status

65
 ii. Independent Observations
a. Service Level Status :
i. Preliminary data will be collected in advance by a process of self-assessment
from ULBs / Development Authorities / Cantonment Boards as per the defined protocol.
ii. Third party assessors will visit ULBs / Development Authorities / Cantonment
Boards to review the documentation and collect the data systematically ensuring that the
process is independent and unbiased.
b. Independent Observations :
i. ULB / Development Authority / Cantonment Board must mandatorily provide complete city
profile data to MoHUA after SBM ODF++ declaration, to facilitate observations.
ii. The collection of data will be based on physical observation by the third party assessors.
in conjunction with Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs.
iii. The questionnaire to facilitate data collection will be created by the third party in
conjunction with Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs.
iv. The survey assessors will use IT enabled devices to record their observations and findings
along with photographs.
v. The third party will systematically collect photos as evidence for field observations ensuring
that the location, date and time are tagged on all the pictures.
vi. For the assessment, cities will be classified based on population as below. Based upon the
size of the city, it will be divided into zones.
vii. For cities with greater than 10 lakh population, the city will be divided into 4 zones -
North, South, East and West.
vii. For cities with population between 1 – 10 lakh, the city will be divided into 4 zones –
North, South, East and West.
viii. For cities with population less than 1 lakh, the city will be divided into 2 zones – North
and South.
x. All locations shall be within ULB limits and will be finalized at the discretion of the third
party. The selected locations shall not be communicated to ULB / Development Authority /
Cantonment Board.

xi. The following table lists the locations which have to be mandatorily inspected by the third
party for independent observation, without exception.

7 Unit 7: Safety of Sanitation Workers
GOALS
This module has been designed for District Collectors, Mayors, Commissioners, Sanitary Inspectors,
Health Officers, among other government officers responsible for employing sanitation workers. The
overarching goal of the suggested guidelines is to reduce the number of fatalities and injuries resulting
from unsafe practices in sanitation and improve the quality of life of sanitation workers. To achieve this
goal we aim to accomplish the following through this training:

 Make officers aware of hazards faced by sanitation workers

 Train officers in safety protocols for various kinds of sanitation works
 Introduce systems and methods to achieve safer sanitation ecosystem
 Inculcate a culture of safety among all stakeholders in the sanitation work value chain

LEARNING OUTCOMES
We aim to achieve the following learning outcomes for you:

 Trainees are aware of the impact of unsafe practices on sanitation workers

 Trainees are able to recognize unsafe working conditions and practices
 Trainees know which type of works and practices are deemed illegal
 Trainees are able to supervise use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
 Trainees are able to institute a system of safety in their jurisdiction
 Trainees prioritize the safety of their workers above all

7.1 Why should I care about safety?

7.1.1 Statistics of accidents and fatalities; Current laws and guidelines around safety

7.1.1.1 FACTS AND FIGURES

According to Safai Karmchari Andolan, there have been at least 356 deaths since 2010 involving
sanitation workers cleaning sewers and septic tanks, or about 44 every year23. This is quite possibly an
underestimation as many incidents of this nature go undocumented. Some reports say that 23,000 men
and women die every year working in the sanitation ecosystem.24 There are different numbers quoted by
different agencies, which do not necessarily match. The basic fact remains though, that Indian sanitation
workers are needlessly dying or living through diseases and injuries which can be avoided by following
standard safety measures.

Sanitation workers are exposed to various occupational hazards by way of entering sewer, handling
faecal, biomedical, and municipal waste, and being exposed to toxic chemicals and disease carriers.

24https://www.indiatimes.com/news/india/sewer-story-death-of-sanitation-workers-in-delhi-exposes-the-hypocrisy-failure-of-
govt-328070.html

68
Additionally, many of these workers are hired on a contractual basis with low pay, no benefits, and no
insurance. A large number of sanitation workers have historically been diagnosed with respiratory and
skin diseases. Health experts state that the life expectancy of sewerage workers is ten years less than the
national average due to health effects of the job and substance abuse (alcohol) required to carry out the
job. Many women workers have become sole earners of their family after having lost their husbands to
traumatic incidents such as suicide or alcoholism25.

Did you know?

A research at Tata Institute

of Social Sciences has
found that 80% of the
sewage cleaners die before
age 60 because of work-
related health problems. In
Mumbai, an average of 20
sewer workers die each
month from accidents,
suffocation or exposure to
toxic gases, the study
found.

7.1.1.2 LAWS AND GUIDELINES

Three laws that are most relevant to safety of sanitation workers are discussed below:

MS Act 1993, 2013

Government of India enacted Employment of Manual Scavengers and Construction of Dry Latrines
(Prohibition) Act of 1993, which punishes the employment of scavengers or the construction of dry (non-
flush) latrines with imprisonment for up to one year and/or a fine of Rs 2,000. Nobody was convicted
under the law during the 20 years it was in force. In 2013, the Prohibition of Employment as Manual
Scavengers and their Rehabilitation Bill was passed. Among other things, this Act prohibits manual
scavenging and specifies very few conditions under which manual intervention in sewers and septic tanks
is allowed. It also specifies mechanical equipment to be provided by the ULBs as well as the protocol to
be followed during manual cleaning of sewers. Following the Act, states ratified it and released operative
guidelines for private desludging operators, on specifications of tanks, licensing of operators if they meet
mechanization requirements, and provision of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). Contractors also
mandated to provide gear and ensure that they are used on site.

Solid Waste Management (SWM) Rules 2016

Ministry of Environment and Forestry notified SWM Rules in 2016 that requires ULBs to ensure that the
operator of a facility provides personal protection equipment including uniform, fluorescent jacket, hand

25
Down the Drain, Praxis, 2014; Source: Field research, interviews; Dalberg analysis

69
gloves, raincoats, appropriate foot wear and masks to all workers handling solid waste and the same are
used by the workforce.26

Industrial Disputes Act of 1947

This Act specifies that contract labour cannot be used for work that is perennial or permanent in nature.
Since sanitation work is required to be carried out regularly, civic bodies are expected to hire workers as
permanent employees who are given safety gear, timely wages, paid leave and medical expenses for any
injuries they may sustain at work. Currently a large number of regular sanitation workers are employed by
a network of contractors and subcontractors.27

Role of Leaders

Although these laws have been instituted, the observance among ULBs is quite low. Governments do not
seem to feel accountability for the safety of their workers. It’s important that officers realize that they can
reduce these deaths and accidents and improve the quality of life of works tremendously by assuming
leadership and accountability for the safety of sanitation workers in their jurisdiction.

7.2 What kind of hazards do sanitation workers face?

7.2.1 COMMONLY FACED HAZARDS

The three primary hazards faced by sanitation workers are lack of oxygen in a sewer or a tank leading to
suffocation, inhalation of toxic chemicals and/or disease-causing organisms, and skin contact with toxic
chemicals and/or disease-causing organisms. Sometimes industrial effluent lines are illegally connected to
sewer lines leading to potentially more toxicity in the sewage. Solid waste handlers are exposed to similar
dangers and may also be unknowingly handling hazardous biomedical waste. These common hazards can
be classified as follows28:

Atmospheric hazards include oxygen-deficiency and flammable or toxic gases such as methane and
hydrogen sulfide. Methane gas is colorless, odorless and tasteless, but is highly flammable and is
considered an asphyxiant. Hydrogen sulfide (H2 S) is also colorless and flammable, but it is highly
odorous and extremely toxic to humans. These gases are detectable only by properly calibrated
instruments. Most fatalities have occurred in sewer lines or septic tanks due to atmospheric hazards.

Biological hazards include pathogens (e.g., bacteria, viruses, protozoa, parasitic worms, fungi) and other
infectious microorganisms that can cause illnesses such as hepatitis, typhoid fever, dysentery and cholera.
Inhaling or ingesting contaminated mists may result in respiratory issues and serious illnesses.

Physical hazards include slips, trips, and falls due to slippery and sloping surfaces; limited access and
egress; corroded ladder rungs; and obstructions by piping and other structures. There is also the risk of
receiving punctures and cuts from sharp edges.

system-under-scrutiny
28
https://www.osha.gov/Publications/OSHA_FS_3587.pdf

70
Mechanical hazards include energized equipment; rotating machinery; and waste stream leaks. Before any
servicing is performed where the energization or startup, or the release of hazardous energy may occur, all
energy sources must be identified and isolated, and the machinery, equipment, or system rendered
inoperative.

Sewer and septic tank workers face the most dangerous conditions as they have to enter confined spaces
in sewer manholes and septic tanks. If the sewer or septic tank lacks enough oxygen, the worker can
suffocate very quickly and can die in the absence of proper assistance.

Apart from lack of oxygen, a host of biological, physical, and mechanical hazards are present in confined
spaces; if proper equipment, PPE, monitoring, supervision, and medical help are not available, it can lead
to extreme consequences. All types of workers, including sewer cleaners, STP operators, drain cleaners,
and solid waste handlers that either come in contact with sewage or garbage via manual handling,
splashes, skin contact, or even inhaling the air around it, are exposed to toxic chemicals and disease-
causing organisms

7.2.2 IMPACT ON HEALTH

As discussed, the average life expectancy of a sanitation worker in India is 60 years - 10 years below the
national average. These are the commonly
observed health issues:
Placeholder for picture
 Asphyxiation, leading to death
 Gastroenteritis, characterised by
cramping stomach pains, diarrhoea
and vomiting
 Leptospirosis and Weil’s disease, a
flu-like illness with persistent and
severe headache, transmitted by rat
urine. Damage to liver, kidneys and
blood may occur and the condition
can be fatal
 Hepatitis, characterised by
inflammation of the liver, and
jaundice
 Occupational asthma and
respiratory issues, resulting in
attacks of breathlessness, chest
tightness and wheezing, and
produced by the inhalation of living
or dead organisms;
 Infection of skin or eyes
 Rarely, Allergic alveolitis
(inflammation of the lung) with
fever, breathlessness, dry cough,
and aching muscles and joints.

71
  Musculoskeletal disorders

7.3 What are the various safety protocols that can help?

7.3.1 PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE)

Government employers need to ensure that proper PPE, training on how to use it, and hand washing
facilities are provided to both permanent and contractual workers handling sewage as well as municipal
waste. This includes sewer workers, septic tank cleaners, treatment plant operators, drain cleaners and
solid waste handlers, among others. The PPE required for workers entering confined spaces such as sewer
lines and septic tanks is more extensive and we will discuss it right after this. Sanitation workers that are
handling sewage and waste, but not in a confined space, will need many of the PPE listed below (not
exhaustive)29:

 Goggles to protect eyes from splashes of human waste or

sewage.
 Protective face mask or splash-proof face shield to protect
nose and mouth from splashes of human waste or sewage.
 Liquid-repellent coveralls: to keep human waste or sewage
off clothing.
 Waterproof gloves to prevent exposure to human waste or
sewage.
 Rubber boots: to prevent exposure to human waste or
sewage.
 Dry bandages to keep open sores, cuts, and wounds
covered.
 Fluorescent jackets where visibility of worker is important
to traffic or fellow workers

 Helmets, to prevent hurting your head

Placeholder for picture
Some important items of PPE needed, in addition to the above list,
in the event of a worker manually entering a sewer manhole or septic tank or another confined space, are
as follows:

 Gas mask to avoid inhalation of toxic gases

 Airline breathing apparatus to supply oxygen in case of an oxygen-deficient atmosphere. One of
the most important components of PPE in a confined space is a respirator. All respirators must be fit
tested prior to use.
 Nylon safety belt, harness, and tripod for enabling entry or retrieving the worker, in case of injury
etc.

29
https://www.cdc.gov/healthywater/global/sanitation/workers_handlingwaste.html

72
 Head lamp with helmet to avoid injury to head and to be able to see in a dark space
 Comfortable full body suits (for more than 5 feet) or partial fishing wader body suits (for less
than 5 feet depth) to avoid contact with hazards
 Barrier cream for skin

The MS Act lists around 44 items of PPE needed for people going into sewers or septic tanks. This list is
in Chapter II 4 (i) in Appendix A. Apart from the PPE used, a strict protocol must be followed before
allowing a human being to enter a manhole or a septic tank, which we will discuss next.

7.4 PROTOCOL FOR MANUALLY ENTERING SEWER LINES, SEPTIC TANKS, OTHER
CONFINED SPACES
It must be remembered that it is illegal to have manual cleaning of manholes and septic tanks, unless
absolutely required and after obtaining written permission from the ULB CEO. The lists of situations in
which you are allowed to employ manual cleaning are listed in MS Act, Chapter II, Rule 3.

When manual cleaning cannot be avoided at any cost, you must ensure that the worker has all the
mechanical equipment as well as PPE available for use and follows the protocol listed by the Act. Some
of the more salient points to be remembered before employing manual work are:

 Manholes and tanks should be opened a minimum of an hour before working in it

 Sewer line should be ventilated by opening 2-3 manholes on both sides
 Supervisor should inspect and determine if any industrial lines are nearby to anticipate hazardous
chemicals in the sewer
 Three people should be present at the site, including one supervisor, and one person trained in
first aid and resuscitation
 All workers should be trained in confined space entry and first responder training
 Structural integrity of metal rungs in manhole or ladder should be checked
 Atmosphere in the manhole should be checked for oxygen deficiency as well as toxic and
combustible gases by the use of detector lamp, wet lead acetate paper, and gas detector masks
 An emergency escape breathing apparatus with at least 10 minutes of supply is worn
 Methods to ensure safety of injured workers (harness to retrieve, stretcher to carry, first aid kit,
and ambulance to transport) should be on the site for potential accidents
 Post-cleaning safety precautions should be provided (wash-up area and material, first aid for cuts
and bruises or respiratory issues, etc.)

7.4.1 PROTOCOL FOR RESCUE

Deaths often occur during rescue. Employees, friends, or bystanders attempt to rescue an entrant without
the proper training and then get caught themselves in the confined space30. This is why it is required that
one of the three people required to be present at the site are trained in entry and first aid.

 If a rescue is required, the rescue service must close off the area, get the sanitation worker out of
the sewer or tank and perform first aid (resuscitation etc.) when needed.

30
https://www.osha.gov/dte/grant_materials/fy10/sh-21000-10/Confined_Space_Rescue.pptx

73
  It is best to use a retrieval system (harness, tripod etc.) to bring the employee out of the space.
Never enter the space without proper training (first aid, confined space, etc.) and unless it is
necessary.
 Authorized entrants should wear harnesses connected to the retrieval line. The retrieval
equipment must be in place before employees enter the permit space.

Some rescue equipment required by first responders

 Rope – primary tool in rescue

 Harness for fall protection and retrieval
 Tripods and winches for vertical access
 Air blowers for ventilating the confined space

7.4.2 BASIC HYGIENE PRACTICES FOR SANITATION WORKERS31

 Wash hands with soap and water immediately after handling human waste or sewage.
 Avoid touching face, mouth, eyes, nose, or open sores and cuts while handling human waste or
sewage.
 After handling human waste or sewage, wash your hands with soap and water before eating or
drinking and before and after using the toilet.
 Before eating, removed soiled work clothes and eat in designated areas away from human waste
and sewage-handling activities.
 Do not smoke or chew tobacco or gum while handling human waste or sewage.
 Keep open sores, cuts, and wounds covered with clean, dry bandages.
 Gently flush eyes with safe water if human waste or sewage contacts eyes.
 Remove rubber boots and work clothes before leaving worksite.
 Clean contaminated work clothing daily with 1 part bleach to 100 parts water.

7.5.2 BUDGET
Make sure you or the officers in charge allocate budget for mechanized cleaning equipment, PPE, rescue

provided for workers and contractors. Make sure there is budget for employment of full time sanitation
workers and reduce the number of contracted workers. Budget for camps for workers to be provided
vaccinations and regular medical check-ups. Budget for insurance of workers a minimum of ten lakhs
rupees, employer pays premium.

7.5.3 AWARENESS & TRAINING

Many contractors, officers, and sanitation workers are unaware of safety protocols, illegality of certain
procedures, and rights of workers. Make sure regular trainings and IEC camps happen for the following:

 Anyone who may enter or supervise the “Our vision is no fatalities and no injuries. Any

8 Unit VIII: Swachh Survekshan and Star Rating
8.1 Swachh Survekshan
Swachh Survekshan 2018

Swachh Survekshan 2018 (National cleanliness survey) is the largest impact driven project commissioned
by KARVY on behalf of Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA). The scale of Swachh
Survekshan 2018 project was ten times larger than Swachh Survekshan 2017. In SS2018, 4203 ULBs
participated with enthusiasm whereas 434 ULBs were covered under SS2017. On May 16 2018, Ministry
of Housing and Urban Affairs announced top three performers under SS2018, which are Indore, Bhopal
and Chandigarh; and fifty two awardee cities under various predefined class of population and award
categories. The ranking is being undertaken over a predefined set of ‘Solid Waste Management (SWM)
and Urban Sanitation’ parameters and indicators. The SS2018 Assessment toolkit was designed by
MoHUA in consultation with National Program Management Unit (N-PMU) and was further improvised
by subject experts of Karvy. The survey was trifurcated as;

Part 1 - Service Level Progress (Municipal documentation w.r.t. each parametric question)

This involves collection and verification of data from ULB. The Chairperson/ Commissioner/ SBM Nodal
Officer of the ULB has to make official submission of municipal document for w.r.t. each question of
under Part 1 of the SS2018 toolkit. Assessment needed to be signed-off by the Chairperson/
Commissioner/ SBM Nodal Officer of the ULB to avoid any ambiguity/disagreement at a later stage.
Further, the ULBs were encouraged track their performance before the final day of assessment through
self-assessment portal, which helped them to understand the gaps and areas of improvement. Part 1
comprises of 1400 Marks in total and has 6 sections which has 44 questions in total.

For ‘Swachh Survekshan-2018’ assessments, the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA) has

revised the weightage for the overall assessment and components of Swachh Bharat Mission. These
modifications are produced below:

Part 2: On-ground Assessment (Sample based on-ground verification is done)

Part 2 is further bifurcated into: Part 2A (Independent Validation) and Part 2B (Direct Observation).
Under Part 2A, the claims made by the ULB officials during Part 1 assessment is validated on-ground and
negative marking is done (if any claim is found invalid); whereas Direct Observation is a sample based
physical observation of the city.

Part 3 – Citizens Engagement (Citizen Feedback and Swachhata App)

a) Citizen Feedback – Citizens feedback is recorded by various means (IVRS, face to face etc.)
b) Swachhata App - Swachhata App download and usage w.r.t. filing and resolving cleanliness
related complaints by the concerned authority of the ULB.

The SS2018 toolkit holds 4000 marks in total. The overall marking scheme of Swachh Survekshan 2018
is depicted below:

8.2 Star rating for cities
The star-rating initiative, developed by the Swachh Bharat Mission – Urban will be rating cities on a 7-
star rating system based on multiple cleanliness indicators for solid waste management, which will
include Door to Door Collection, bulk generator compliance, source segregation, sweeping, scientific
processing of waste, scientific land filling, plastic waste management, construction and demolition
management, dump remediation & citizen grievance redressal system etc.

Cities can be rated as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 7 star based on their compliance with the protocol conditions
specified for each of the rating. Further city should be ODF (Open Defecation Free) before it could be
given rating of 3 star or above. While cities may self-declare themselves as 1-star, 2-star or 4-star,
MoHUA will carry out an additional verification through an independent third party to certify cities as 3-
star, 5-star or 7-star. Cities will need to get recertified themselves every year to retain their star-status.

The most significant feature of the rating protocol is that it provides stakeholders with a single metric to
rate a city’s cleanliness, rather than separately evaluating multiple factors which contribute to a city’s
overall cleanliness and garbage free status. The SMART rating (Single
metric, Measurable, Achievable, Rigorous verification, Targeted towards outcomes) is characterized by
Trust and verify model and sustainability (progressive and to be recertified every year). The protocol will
involve the participation of all stakeholders and common people to aspire for higher grading in
cleanliness. The Swachh Survekshan survey run by the SBM Urban for the past three years has
successfully built up a spirit of healthy competition among cities, vying with each other every year to
improve their ranking as compared to other cities. The distinctive feature of Star Rating System will be
that many cities can have higher stars as compared to only one city can be “Cleanest city” under Swachh
Survekshan.

SBM-Urban’s objective of achieving a ‘clean India’ is encapsulated in the Vision statement of the star-
rating protocol, stating that “All cities achieve “Garbage Free” status wherein at any point of time in the
day, no garbage or litter is found in any public, commercial or residential locations (including storm
drains and water bodies) in the city (except in litter bins or transfer stations); 100 per cent of waste
generated is scientifically managed; all legacy waste has been remediated and city is scientifically
managing its municipal solid waste, plastic waste and construction & demolition waste. Additionally,
there must be a steady reduction in the waste generated by the city and visible beautification of the city to
achieve a clean & aesthetically pleasing city”. It is expected that the Star-rating initiative will be another
effective tool for achieving the objectives of Swachh Bharat Mission of “Open Defecation Free and
Garbage Free India”

Parameters of star rating system: It is a single metric rating system, based on 12 parameters:

1. Door-to- Door Collection

2. Segregation at source
3. Sweeping of public, commercial and residential areas (no visible eyesores on streets)

4. Waste Storage Bins, Litter Bins and material recovery facility

5. Bulk Waste Generators compliance
6. Scientific Waste Processing, Scientific Landfilling and C&D Waste Management
7. User Fees, Penalties, Spot Fines for littering and Enforcement of Ban on Plastic
8. Citizen grievance redressal and feedback system
9. Eradication of crude dumping of garbage and dump remediation
10. Cleaning of storm drains and surface of water bodies

80
 11. Waste Reduction
12. Visible beautification in the city.

Key Features of 7-star rating-Designed on a SMART approach:

 SINGLE METRIC - Rating criteria encapsulates all components of MSWM as well as plastic
waste, waste in drains and water bodies
 MEASURABLE - Criteria under each star rating has measurable parameters (e.g.% of HHs
covered by D2D collection, % of waste processed, etc.)
 ACHIEVABLE - Each criteria and associated parameter has been devised to ensure that it is
realistically achievable by cities.
 RIGOROUS VERIFICATION - Robust 2-step verification mechanism of both self-declaration
and third party verification. Cities rated 1, 2 and 4-star must carry out self-assessment and self-
verification, while 3-star, 5-star and 7-star cities will need to be certified through an independent
third party. Moreover, a city should be ODF before going for 3-star and above certification.
 TARGETED TOWARDS OUTCOMES – Based on verifiable outcomes rather than inputs and
processes (e.g. remediation of dumpsites, regular sweeping, collection of user charges, etc.)

Strengths of star rating protocol

 Outcome-based tool rather than process based, hence will enable institutionalization of good
practices such as source segregation, scientific waste processing, penalties and spot fines for
littering, and compliance of bulk waste generators, etc.
 Designed to enable cities to gradually evolve into a model (7-star) city, with progressive
improvements in their overall cleanliness.
 At the 7-star level, 3R components of 3R (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle) incorporated.

(a) Maintaining the integrity and effectiveness of final cover, making repairs and preventing run-on and run-off
from eroding or otherwise damaging the final cover;
(b) Monitoring leachate collection system in accordance with the requirement;
(c) Monitoring of ground water in and around landfill;
(d) Maintaining and operating the landfill gas collection system to meet the standards.
(2) Use of closed landfill sites after fifteen years of post-closure monitoring can be considered for human settlement
or otherwise only after ensuring that gaseous emission and leachate quality analysis complies with the specified standards
and the soil stability is ensured.
I. Criteria for special provisions for hilly areas.-Cities and towns located on hills shall have location-specific
methods evolved for final disposal of solid waste by the local body with the approval of the concerned State Pollution
Control Board or the Pollution Control Committee. The local body shall set up processing facilities for utilisation of
biodegradable organic waste. The non-biodegradable recyclable materials shall be stored and sent for recycling
periodically. The inert and non-biodegradable waste shall be used for building roads or filling-up of appropriate areas on
hills. In case of constraints in finding adequate land in hilly areas, waste not suitable for road-laying or filling up shall be
disposed of in regional landfills in plain areas.
J. Closure and Rehabilitation of Old Dumps- Solid waste dumps which have reached their full capacity or those which
will not receive additional waste after setting up of new and properly designed landfills should be closed and
rehabilitated by examining the following options:
(i) Reduction of waste by bio mining and waste processing followed by placement of residues in new
landfills or capping as in (ii) below.
(i). Capping with solid waste cover or solid waste cover enhanced with geomembrane to enable collection
and flaring / utilisation of greenhouse gases.
(iii) Capping as in (ii) above with additional measures (in alluvial and other coarse grained soils) such as
cut-off walls and extraction wells for pumping and treating contaminated ground water.
(iv) Any other method suitable for reducing environmental impact to acceptable level.
SCHEDULE II
[see rule 16 (1), (b), (e), 16 (4) )
Standards of processing and treatment of solid waste

CLASS C : Based on hazardous Characteristics

Apart from the concentration limit given above, the substances or wastes shall be classified
as hazardous waste if it exhibits any of the following characteristics due to the presence of
any hazardous constituents:

23
Class C1: Flammable- A waste exhibits the characteristic of flammability or ignitability if a
representative sample of the waste has any of the following properties, namely:-

(i) flammable liquids, or mixture of liquids, or liquids containing solids in solution or

suspension (for example, paints, varnishes, lacquers, etc; but not including
substances or wastes otherwise classified on account of their dangerous
characteristics), which give off a flammable vapour at temperature less than 60°C.
This flash point shall be measured as per ASTM D 93-79 closed-cup test method or as
determined by an equivalent test method published by Central Pollution Control
Board;
(ii) it is not a liquid and is capable, under standard temperature and pressure, of causing
fire through friction, absorption of moisture or spontaneous chemical changes and,
when ignited, burns vigorously and persistently creating a hazard;
(iii) it is an ignitable compressed gas;
(iv) It is an oxidizer and for the purposes of characterisation is a substance such as a
chlorate, permanganate, inorganic peroxide, or a nitrate, that yields oxygen readily to
stimulate the combustion of organic matter.

Class C2: Corrosive- A waste exhibits the characteristic of corrosivity if a representative

sample of the waste has either of the following properties, namely:-

(i) it is aqueous and has a pH less than or equal to 2 or greater than or equal to 12.5;
(ii) it is a liquid and corrodes steel (SAE 1020) at a rate greater than 6.35 mm per year at
a test temperature of 55 °C;
(iii) it is not aqueous and, when mixed with an equivalent weight of water, produces a
solution having a pH less than or equal to 2 or greater than or equal to 12.5;
(iv) it is not a liquid and, when mixed with an equivalent weight of water, produces a liquid
that corrodes steel (SAE1020) at a rate greater than 6.35 mm per year at a test
temperature of 55 °C.
Note:
For the purpose of determining the corrosivity, the Bureau of Indian Standard 9040 C
method for pH determination, NACE TM 01 69 : Laboratory Corrosion Testing of
Metals and EPA 1110A method for corrosivity towards steel (SAE1020) to establish
the corrosivity characteristics shall be adopted.

Class C3: Reactive or explosive- A waste exhibits the characteristic of reactivity if a

representative sample of the waste it has any of the following properties, namely:-

(i) it is normally unstable and readily undergoes violent change without detonating;
(ii) it reacts violently with water or forms potentially explosive mixtures with water;
(iii) when mixed with water, it generates toxic gases, vapours or fumes in a quantity
sufficient to present a danger to human health or the environment;
(iv) it is a cyanide or sulphide bearing waste which, when exposed to pH conditions
between 2 and 12.5, can generate toxic gases, vapours or fumes in a quantity
sufficient to present a danger to human health or the environmental;
(v) it is capable of detonation or explosive reaction if it is subjected to a strong initiating
source or if heated under confinement;
(vi) it is readily capable of detonation or explosive decomposition or reaction at standard
temperature and pressure;
(vii) it is a forbidden explosive.

(i) the concentration of the waste constituents listed in Class A and B (of this schedule)
are equal to or more than the permissible limits prescribed therein;
(ii) it has an acute oral LD50 less than 2,500 milligrams per kilogram;
(iii) it has an acute dermal LD50 less than 4,300 milligrams per kilogram;
(iv) it has an acute inhalation LC50 less than 10,000 parts per million as a gas or vapour;
(v) it has acute aquatic toxicity with 50% mortality within 96 hours for zebra fish
(Brachidanio rerio) at a concentration of 500 milligrams per litre in dilution water and
test conditions as specified in BIS test method 6582 – 2001.
(vi) it has been shown through experience or by any standard reference test- method to
pose a hazard to human health or environment because of its carcinogenicity,
mutagenecity, endocrine disruptivity, acute toxicity, chronic toxicity, bio-accumulative
properties or persistence in the environment.

Class C5: Substances or Wastes liable to spontaneous combustion - Substances or Wastes

which are liable to spontaneous heating under normal conditions encountered in transport, or to
heating up on contact with air, and being then liable to catch fire.

Class C6: Substances or Wastes which, in contact with water emit flammable gases-
Substances or Wastes which, by interaction with water, are liable to become spontaneously
flammable or to give off flammable gases in dangerous quantities.

Class C5: Oxidizing - Substances or Wastes which, while in themselves not necessarily
combustible, may, generally by yielding oxygen cause, or contribute to, the combustion of other
materials.

Class C8: Organic Peroxides - Organic substances or Wastes which contain the bivalent O−O
structure, which may undergo exothermic self-accelerating decomposition.

Class C9: Poisons (acute) - Substances or Wastes liable either to cause death or serious injury
or to harm human health if swallowed or inhaled or by skin contact.

Class C10: Infectious substances - Substances or Wastes containing viable micro-organisms

or their toxins which are known or suspected to cause disease in animals or humans.

Class C11: Liberation of toxic gases in contact with air or water - Substances or Wastes
which, by interaction with air or water, are liable to give off toxic gases in dangerous quantities.

Class C12: Eco-toxic- Substances or Wastes which if released, present or may present
immediate or delayed adverse impacts to the environment by means of bioaccumulation or toxic
effects upon biotic systems or both.

Class C13: Capable, by any means, after disposal, of yielding another material, e.g., leachate,
which possesses any of the characteristics listed above.

 Part C
List of Hazardous Characteristics

Code Characteristic
H1 Explosive
An explosive substance or waste is a solid or liquid substance or waste (or mixture
of substances or wastes) which is in itself capable by chemical reaction of
producing gas at such a temperature and pressure and at such a speed as to
cause damage to the surrounding.

H3 Flammable liquids

The word “flammable” has the same meaning as “inflammable”. Flammable liquids
are liquids, or mixtures of liquids, or liquids containing solids in solution or
suspension (for example, paints, varnishes, lacquers, etc. but not including
substances or wastes otherwise classified on account of their dangerous
characteristics) which give off a flammable vapour at temperatures of not more
than 60.5ºC, closed-cup test, or not more than 65.6ºC, open-cup test. (Since the
results of open-cups tests and of closed-cup tests are not strictly comparable and
even individual results by the same test are often variable, regulations varying
from the above figures to make allowance for such differences would be within the
spirit of this definition).

H 4.1 Flammable solids

Solids, or waste solids, other than those classed as explosives, which under
conditions encountered in transport are readily combustible, or may cause or
contribute to fire through friction.

H 4.2 Substances or wastes liable to spontaneous combustion

Substances or wastes which are liable to spontaneous heating under normal

conditions encountered in transport, or to heating up on contact with air, and being
then liable to catch fire.

H 4.3 Substances or wastes which, in contact with water emit flammable gases

Substances or wastes which, by interaction with water, are liable to become

spontaneously flammable or to give off flammable gases in dangerous quantities.

H 5.1 Oxidizing

Substances or wastes which, while in themselves not necessarily combustible,

may, generally by yielding oxygen cause, or contribute to, the combustion or other
materials.

H 5.2 Organic Peroxides

Organic substances or wastes which contain the bivalent-o-o-structure are

thermally unstable substances which may undergo exothermic self-accelerating
decomposition.

33
H 6.1 Poisons (acute)

Substances or wastes liable either to cause death or serious injury or to harm

human health if swallowed or inhaled or by skin contact.

H 6.2 Infectious substances

Substances or wastes containing viable micro-organisms or their toxins which are

known or suspected to cause disease in animals or humans.

H8 Corrosives

Substances or wastes which, by chemical action, will cause severe damage when
in contact with living tissue, or, in the case of leakage, will materially damage, or
even destroy, other goods or the means of transport; they may also cause other
hazards.

H 10 Liberation of toxic gases in contact with air or water

Substances or wastes which, by interaction with air or water, are liable to give off
toxic gases in dangerous quantities.

H 11 Toxic (delayed or chronic)

Substances or wastes which, if they are inhaled or ingested or if they penetrate the
skin, may involve delayed or chronic effects, including carcinogenicity).

H 12 Eco-toxic

Substances or wastes which if released, present or may present immediate or

delayed adverse impacts to the environment by means of bioaccumulation or toxic
effects upon biotic systems or both.

H 13 Capable, by any means, after disposal, of yielding another material, e.g., leachate,
which possesses any of the characteristics listed above.
