environmental sustainability, public health, and resource conservation. This
report explores various waste management practices, including waste
minimization, recycling, and the role of technological innovations in
enhancing waste processing efficiency.
Through an examination of current systems, challenges, and solutions, the
study highlights the importance of a comprehensive approach to waste
management that integrates policy, community engagement, and
infrastructure development. In addition, the report emphasizes the need for
continued education and research in the field to address emerging
environmental concerns. We would like to express our sincere gratitude to
our teacher, Dr. Sanjay R. Kumavat for their invaluable guidance, support,
and encouragement throughout this project. Their expertise and dedication
have been essential in deepening our understanding of the complexities of
waste management and inspiring us to seek sustainable solutions .

 CHAPTER 1

1. Introduction
1.1) Background on SWM:
Solid Waste Management (SWM) is a growing concern across the world, and India is no exception.
With a population of over 1.4 billion people, rapid urbanization, and economic development, India
generates more than 62 million tonnes of municipal solid waste annually. The effective management
of waste, especially in urban areas, has become a critical issue for environmental sustainability, public
health, and urban planning.

Over the years, India’s waste management systems have evolved, with increasing emphasis on
regulation, technology, and public awareness. However, despite these efforts, managing waste remains
a challenge due to insufficient infrastructure, the vast size of the country, and the complex socio-
economic factors involved. This case study explores the current state of SWM in India, highlighting
the challenges faced, the policies implemented, and the steps taken toward improving waste
management practices.

Urban India is facing an ever increasing challenge of providing for the incremental
infrastructural needs of a growing urban population. According to the 2011 census, the
population of India was 1.21 billion; of this 31% live in cities. It is further projected that by
2050 half of India’s population will live in cities. With this increasing population, management
of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) in the country has emerged as a severe problem not only
because of the environmental and aesthetic concerns but also because of the sheer
quantities generated every day.

2
1.2) About Chalisgaon:
Chalisgaon, a small town located in the Jalgaon district of Maharashtra, India, is
facing growing challenges related to the management of its solid waste. As the town
experiences urbanization and population growth, the volume of waste generated by
households, businesses, and institutions has surged. Like many small towns across
India, Chalisgaon has struggled with effective waste management systems that are
capable of handling the increasing waste load while also addressing environmental,
health, and sanitation concerns.

Solid Waste Management (SWM) in India, particularly in smaller towns like

Chalisgaon, is often overlooked in favor of more significant urban centers. However,
with rising waste volumes, inadequate infrastructure, and limited public awareness,
Chalisgaon is confronted with the same pressing issues seen in larger cities. The town's
traditional waste disposal practices, primarily consisting of open dumping and sporadic
collection, are insufficient to handle the growing demand for effective waste
management.

This case study explores the current state of SWM in Chalisgaon, examining the
challenges faced by local authorities, the community, and waste management workers.
It also investigates the initiatives and strategies that have been implemented to improve
the waste management system, including waste segregation, waste-to- compost
programs, and local government policies. Furthermore, it analyzes the effectiveness of
these strategies and identifies potential areas for improvement to create a more
sustainable and efficient waste management system for the future.

 CHAPTER 2

2.1) Methodology

Jalgaon district is having 16 ULBs with 289 Wards. Municipal Solid Waste [Dry & Wet]
generated from each ULBs is given in the Figure 2 and details of Other Types of Waste is
presented in Figure 3 for easy representation. As per collected data, total solid waste
generation of Jalgaon district is 485.68MTD wherein, Dry Waste generation is 251.805MTD
and Wet waste is 224.395MTD.

It seems that Wet waste comprises of approximately 48% of total waste generated of the
district and Dry waste contributes 52%. Jalgaon Municipal Corporation stands on top with
the highest quantity i.e. 220MTD out of which dry waste is 100MTD and wet waste is
120MTD. Faizpur generates lowest quantity i.e. 4MTD out dry waste is 1.5MTD and wet
waste is 2.5MTD. It is observed that quantity of solid waste generation is in line with the
respective population of ULBs.
As per the data presented in the Figure 3, details of other types of waste generation is
presented as below; Jalgaon district generates 425.15MTD of Street Sweeping Waste. Maximum
quantity of Street Sweeping Waste is generated by Jalgaon with total quantity of 425MTD followed
4
by Sawda stands lowest with 0.15MTD. Drain Silt is not estimated.

There is no facility for collection of DHW generated in district except Savda. Total Quantity of
Horticulture, Sanitary and other waste also not estimated yets. Jalgaon district is having total
56 bulk Waste Generator with the highest numbers in Jalgaon Corporation and total number
of onsite facility provided for treatment of wet waste is 220MTD.

2.2) Practices Made For Solid Waste Management :

1) C&D Waste Management Plan:

The Construction and Demolition Waste [C&D Waste] generated by Jalgaon district is about
3110.7MTA C&D. Non availability of data will not help in preparing ingenuous and
executable plan for waste management of the district hence local bodies must ensure proper
sampling and factual measurement of the various types of waste being generated.

2) Plastic Waste Management:

Total Plastic waste generated by Jalgaon district is 63.33MTD. With 55MTD quantity,
Jalgaon Corporation is the highest plastic waste generator and Pachora generates lowest plastic
5
waste i.e. 0.05MTD.In almost all ULBs, 100% door to door collection system is implemented whereas
segregation system is implemented partially i.e. 68% only with 18 Plastic Waste Collection plastic
waste i.e. 0.05MTD. In almost all ULBs, 100% door to door collection system is implemented whereas
segregation system is implemented partially i.e. 68% only with 18 Plastic Waste Collection Centre.
There are 215 Plastic Waste Pickers with the authorization for waste collection. District is having 22
Plastic Waste Recyclers.

3) Hazardous Waste Management:

89 numbers of industry are established and generating 78022.92 MT/Annually, out of which
1572.97 MT is Incinerable and 5751.14 MT is sent for land filling and 70698.81MT is sent to
recovery / reutilization of HW. The waste generated is sent to Common Treatment Storage
Disposal Facility present at Ranjangaon, Pune and all industries are members of
CHWTDSF.

4) E Waste Management:
There are no Collection Centres established by ULBs and Producer under EPR scheme.
There are 2 number of authorized E-Waste recyclers / Dismantler and 2 numbers are
Authorized E-Waste collectors. It is observed that district have not conducted Awareness
Campaigns.

6
5) Biomedical Waste Management:
1092 hospitals present in the Jalgaon district. Bedded hospitals are 511 numbers, of which
all HCF have taken authorization. 581 are non-bedded hospitals and all of them have taken
authorization. 398 Clinics and 10 Veterinary hospitals. Total BMW generation from all above
mentioned sources are to the tune of 457 Kg/day.

There is only one Common Facility available for treatment and disposal of BMW and
average BW taken by these facilities are 457kg/day. There is requirement of at least one
CBWTF in each ULB. Inventory of BMW generating units are mentioned in the Figure 6.

 CHAPTER 3.
3.1.Objectives
All the above discussion where we Discussed About the Types of Methodology In Solid
Waste Management , All these types of waste do have some specific solutions for there
Waste Management . Our Objective is to take some action on it the local municipal
corporation have some specified Action Plans and Points For Specified Solid waste .

The Districts Have assigned committees for developing these action plans, we will discuss
these plans and points in the below point for Action plans.

3.2. Action plans and Points :

As per the above mentioned observation, it seems that almost all ULBs are handling solid
waste generated as per the Municipal Solid Waste Management Rules, however there are
certain issues that needs to be addressed for 100% implementation of the rules as
mentioned in Table 3
Table 3Action Plan for Solid Waste Management

8
9
Water Quality Management Plan:
There are 16 ULBs generate about 159.32MLD of sewage with no STP which after
treatment flows into the rivers. It is observed that additional 160MLD capacity STP
required for treatment. The average pH of rivers flowing in Jalgaon is 7.15. Whereas the
average DO and BOD of these surface bodies is 5.9 and 3.94 respectively. The Waghur
river shows highest number of MPN Count i.e. 280MPN/100ml. and lowest
44.50MPN/100ml in Tapi river. All the above needs to be combined with the effort of
sensitization and awareness at all levelin order to formulate and implement successful
water quality management strategy though the same is limited to 16 number of ULBs as
of now & a detailed Issue based management action plan is provided in Table 4.

10
Table 4 Action Plan for Water Quality Management

11
Air Quality Management:
The prominent pollution sources in Jalgaon are Large Industry,
Industrial Estate, Unpaved Roads, Burning of Waste Stubble. Both
CPCB & MPCB through their NAMP & SAMP programme has set up
3 manual & no CAAQM stations across the district. It seems that
Ambient Air is one of the prima facia of the concern. An
exceedance factor reveals as per the monitored data that needs
immediate attention as is the case in most of the areas of India. In
view of the same the priamafece of every ULB shall be to establish
at least one such Ambient Air Monitoring Station and coordinate /
collaborate with other monitoring organisation to provide for
advisory to general public towards health associations and risk of
exposure. Inventory and policy formulation action plan is stated in
Table 5.

12
Mining Activity Management plan :
Being directly under the control of District Collector, the total lease
land and the mining in Jalgaon district is 0.65Sq.kms. It is
important to mention that the total sand mining in Jalgaon is
0.48Sq.kms with the due permission from respective authorities of
MPCB and State Environment Department. There has been no
pollution related complaints in the districts.

Noise Action Plan :

Noise quality reveals mainly source specific non-compliance such
as traffic related in most of the kerb side analysis. Though zoning
categories and regulations therein are particularly specified, in
limitation of noise regulations has always been challenge to the
regulatory authority. 53 No. of noise measuring devices are
available with district administration and 2 with SPCB. No noise
monitoring study has been carried out in the district. Table 5 spells
potential management plan that could be taken up on priority by
each of the ULBs.

13
The above discussed Action plans are required for solid waste
management in specified district of Maharashtra , Also used as an
treatment for the various Types of solid wastes .

5. Summary
There seems to be vast data gaps and a detailed exercise to collate
and validate data gathered through this process needs to be
urgently taken up in addition to the adopting a holistic & inclusive
consultative process of gathering information, collating &
converging it in order to be able to device strategies of future.
Also, it is equally important that projection for at least next 20
years be done in order to evaluate management plans for futuristic
view to meet the objective of such vast exercise. Digital data
availability needs to be one of the prime tasks of government &
methods of its validation be created with scope for improvement in
near future. The practice needs to be a continual one to be updated
regularly in order to monitor progress and effectiveness of this
process & shall be linked with financial allocations being designed
to be promoted by government of the day. With regards to action
plans, the priorities shall be aligned based on sustainability
objectives.

Maharashtra is one of the urbanized states in the country. The state

is having total 396 Nos. of Local Bodies. ULBs installed 378
composting plants as a waste processing facility. Also 89 vermin-
composing facilities are installed, 30 bio-methanization plants are
installed, 01 waste to Energy plant and 12 RDF plant installed. The
382 landfill sites are identified. The Bio-medical waste and
industrial hazardous waste generated in the area of local bodies is
not mixed with MSW and such waste is disposed of separately in
accordance with provisions made under BMW Management Rules,
2016 and Hazardous and Other Wastes (Management and Trans
Boundary Movement) Rules, 2016. For the disposal of Hazardous
waste, 4 no. of common Hazardous waste treatment & disposal
facility have been developed in the State. For the disposal of the
Bio-medical waste, 30 number of Common Bio-medical waste
treatment facilities have been provided. The main constraint for the
effective implementation of MSW Rules & setting up of waste
17
 processing facility for local bodies is non-availability of suitable
land. Considering the constraint, the Urban Development
Department, Govt. of Maharashtra has passed order regarding
formation of District level committee in every District under the
Chairmanship of District Collector. The main object of district
level committee is to identify & select waste processing and
landfill sites. The Committee comprises of 11 members of various
concerned department. While identifying the suitable location for
landfill and waste processing site, a care is taken by the District
level committee that the site should be away from habitation
clusters, forest, water bodies, monuments, wet lands and places of
important cultural, historical and religious aspect including CRZ
areas.

SUGGESTIONS :

 ULBs shall be appoint Environment officer to deal with

SWM, C & D waste and other waste management.
 Public awareness and involvement of people in the
segregation of waste.
 Provision of adequate financial assistance to ULB for
effective implementation of SWM Rules, 2016.
 Suitable technology adaptation to different group of
ULB’s.
 Form expert group to redefine to site selection criteria
considering advance technology and need for decentralize
treatment plant.
 May consider of creating authority for selecting,
providing and operating the MSW facility by itself or on
BOOT basis at each stage.
 Identification of landfill and waste processing sites by
State Government and handover to concerned local bodies.
 Research and development on low cost standard models.
