Components of Municipal Solid Waste
Composition of waste
is an important factor
in developing any
intervention
Though the
composition of waste
varies geographically,
a large component of
Indian HH waste still
remains

Rules pertaining to MSWM
Came into effect in the year 2000 through a Supreme Court intervention
The Rules, applicable to every Municipal authority, lay down guidelines for

generation points.
Collection vehicle shall be containerized
Proper waste collection schedule notified by Municipal authority
Rules pertaining to MSWM
Community awareness program for primary segregation of waste at source
Covered, hygienic facility for storage of waste
Color coding of storage facility
Biodegradable waste – Green Recyclable – White/Blue Inert - Black
Covered Vehicle to be used for Transportation of waste
Avoid Multiple Handling of waste
Suitable, low cost technologies, in context to waste component, to be adopted
for processing of waste
Biodegradable - Vermicomposting/aerobic Digestion
Recyclable – Pelletization
Inert – Scientific Landfilling
Waste processing site and Landfill shall be away from any habitation clusters
and shall be a no-development zone
All important measures for pollution abatement, as laid down, shall be strictly

Problem in Design
Linear, Centralized Model
No Regulatory Mechanism
Stakeholders left unattended
Lack of Customization while designing the model
Zero Community Participation leads to
Lack of ownership in the waste producer
Lack of ownership in the workers
Disenchantment amongst all stakeholders
Problem in Implementation
Fault in Design leads to Fault in Implementation
Lack of technical expert => everyone becomes expert
Lack of technical expertise => huge financial losses
Lack of technical expertise => No coordination
WM still perceived as cleaning of area
Zero accountability of authorities and the implementing agency
Best Practices
Implementation on a larger scale
Model making
Overcoming the lacuna
Monitoring and evaluation
Implementation
Action plan for an area
Group discussion & brainstorming with experts
Identify the issues at local level
