Present Status of Waste Management in India
current situation of garbage & waste
Improper planning for waste management while planning the townships
Impractical institutional set up for waste management and planning and designing in urban local bodies
Lack of technical and trained manpower
Incomplete community involvement
Less expertise and exposure to the city waste management using modern techniques and best practices
Partial awareness creation mechanism
Outdated Management Information Systems
Less funds with ULBs
Indifferent attitudes of ULBs in user charges and sustainability

Ideal Approaches To Waste Management
1. Possible Waste Management Options :
(a) Waste Minimisation
(b) Material Recycling
(c) Waste Processing (Resource Recovery)
(d) Waste Transformation
(e) Sanitary Landfilling – Limited land availability is a constraint in Metro cities.
2. Processing / Treatment should be :
(i) Technically sound
(ii) Financially viable
(iii) Eco-friendly / Environmental friendly
(iv) Robust operate & maintain by local community
(v) Long term sustainability
Approaches To Waste Processing & Disposal
I Wealth From Waste (Processing Of Organic Waste)
(A) Waste To Compost
(I) Aerobic / Anaerobic Composting
(II) Vermi-composting
(B) Waste To Energy
(I) Refuse Derived Fuel (Rdf) / Pelletization
(Ii) Bio-methanation
II Recycling Of Waste
III Sanitary Landfilling
IV Treating Bio-medical Waste Separately.
Various Technology Options Recommended For Waste Processing
Towns Generating Garbage
Upto 50 Metric Tons / Day(mt/Day) = Vermi-composting
Between 50 Mt & 500 Mt / Day = Vermi-composting + Mechanical Composting
More Than 500 Mt / Day = Mechanical Composting + Refuse Derived Fuel(rdf) From Rejects Keeping In View The Type Of The City (Industrial Or Non- Industrial) Or Bio-methanation
Main issues
– Absence of segregation of waste at source
– lack of technical expertise and appropriate institutional arrangement
– Unwillingness of ulbs to introduce proper collection, segregation, transportation and treatment / disposal systems
– Indifferent attitude of citizens towards waste management due to lack of awareness
– Lack of community participation towards waste management and hygienic conditions
– Lack of funds with ulbs
Recommendations
– Outsourcing of all activities under Solid Waste Management Services recommended by 12th Finance Commission for using grants
– ULBs to concentrate on segregation of waste at source
– Waste processing like composting, bio-methanation should be done through public-private partnerships / private sector
– Final disposal viz. sanitary landfilling to be done under public private partnerships / private sector
– Bio-medical waste to be managed by Central Bio-Medical Waste Management Facilities.
