  1. Urbanisation • According to World Watch, urbanisation and income levels also to determine the type of waste generated. • Raising prosperity and increasing the Urbanisation of the world population could lead to a doubling in the volume of municipal solid waste (MSW) created annually. • The researchers said that, projections indicate, challenging environmental and public health management in the World’s cities. • MSW tends to be According to the studies, generated in much higher quantities in wealthier regions of the World. • city dwellers are prospering and adopting high- consumption lifestyles. • The institute said that roughly a quarter of the World’s MSW Is diverted to recycling, composting or digestion.

  2. MSW Scenario in India • Waste quantities are increasing and municipal authorities are not able to upgrade or scale up the facilities required for proper management of such wastes. • Key issues- There is no comprehensive short and long term plan with municipal authorities. • Majority of the municipal authorities do not have preparedness to set up waste processing and disposal facilities. • Waste management is being looked either for making wealth or generate revenue; or otherwise is allowed to putrefy in cities/towns. • In future, there will be a need to go for ‘total’ recycling and re-use of waste and aim for negligible or ‘Zero Waste’ for landfilling.

  3. Status of Management of MSW: • As per report (May 2000), 1,00,000 MT of Municipal Solid Waste was generated. • During the year 2004-05, in 59 cities (35 Metro cities and 24 State Capitals) and estimated 39,031 Tons per day MSW generation in these 59 cities/towns. • (CIPET) has reported generation of 50,592 tonnes of MSW per day in the year 2010-11 in same 59 cities. • In the year 2009-12, 127486 TPD out of which 89334 TPD (70%) of MSW is collected and 15,881 TPD (12.45%) is processed or treated.

  4. Waste Collection: • It has been observed that house-to-house collection is most critical issue in the entire Management of MSW. Waste Segregation • Source segregation of waste are insisted and pressurised with residents. Waste Transportation • Many of them are not following the waste transportation norms. Waste processing • The waste processing technologies reported in the country are; composting, vermin-composting, biogas plant, RDF –palletisation and others. Some of these pelletisation plants are associated with power plants for generation of electricity. However, mechanical composting and vermin-composting are more popular in the country.

  5. Waste Disposal • Most of cities/towns are facing problem in identification of landfill sites for construction of sanitary landfills. Laying down Standards for State-of-the art Technologies Status of compliance with MSW Rules • Waste collection is observed only 70% of total waste generation and the remaining 30% lost in the urban environment Initiatives in Karnataka • The Government of Karnataka initiated an urban reform project called NirmalaNagaraYojane in 2003. • Studies have revealed that the quantum of waste generated varies between 0.2 - 0.4 kg/capita/day in urban cities and goes up to 0.5 kg/capita/day in metropolitan cites.

  6. In spite of the various measures to treat waste the ULBs are currently unable to satisfactorily fulfil their general duties. • Most ULBs spend nearly 60%-70% of their total overall budgetary allocation on collection, another 20%-30% on transportation, and often less than 10% on the treatment and final disposal of MSW.
