The document discusses waste management in India. It notes that waste generation is projected to grow significantly by 2047 and methane emissions from landfills are also expected to greatly increase. Currently, waste management systems have not kept up with rising waste quantities, resulting in uncollected waste and poor transportation and disposal standards. The document then provides some key statistics on municipal solid waste generation in India and the costs associated with waste collection and management. It outlines integrated solid waste management approaches and components like collection and transfer, recycling, composting, and landfill disposal. Issues with landfilling like land usage, pollution, and costs are also mentioned.

WASTE MANAGEMENT
i 
pi

    is the collection, transport, processing or


disposal of waste materials, usually ones produced by human activity, in
an effort to reduce their effect on human health or local amenity.
Waste management can involve solid, liquid or gaseous wastes, with
different methods and fields of expertise for each.

uccording to a study done by The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI), annual
per capita municipal solid waste generation in India is projected to grow from  
    , which would lead to a generation of over    of
waste by 2047.

Methane emissions from landfills are projected to reach    by


2047, from 7 million tones in 1997.

On the other hand, waste management responses have not kept pace with the
increasing quantities of waste resulting in
(a) a high proportion of uncollected waste, and
(b) poor standards of transportation, storage, treatment and disposal

p

ubout 0.1 million tonnes of municipal solid waste is generated


in India every day. That is approximately 36.5 million tonnes
annually.

Per capita waste generation in major Indian cities ranges from


0.2 Kg to 0.6 Kg.

Difference in per capita waste generation between lower and


higher income groups range between 180 to 800 gm per day.

The urban local bodies spend approximately Rs.500 to


Rs.1500 per tonne on solid waste for collection, transportation,
treatment and disposal. ubout 60-70% of this amount is spent
on collection, 20-30% on transportation and less than 5% on
final disposal.

Frequency of collection
ü The greater the level of service, the more costly the
collection system will be to operate.

ü Factors to consider when setting collection


frequency include the cost, customer expectations,
storage limitations, and climate.

ü Most municipalities offer collection once or twice a


week, with collection once a week being prevalent.
Crews collecting once per week can collect more
tons of waste per hour, but are able to make fewer
stops per hour than their twice-a-week counterparts.

The basis of a good solid waste management system is the
municipal solid waste (MSW) landfill. MSW landfills provide for the
environmentally sound disposal of waste that cannot be reduced,
recycled, composted, combusted, or processed in some other
manner
 is a waste disposal site for the deposit of the waste onto
or into land (i.e. underground), including: Internal waste disposal
sites (i.e. landfill where a producer of waste is carrying out its own
waste disposal at the place of production), and a permanent site
(i.e. more than one year), which is used for temporary storage of
waste, but excluding
