  13. Segregation Options • Segregation of domestic MSW into dry and wet categories should be implemented • Further segregation of dry waste can be conducted at source or at intermediate sorting centres into • Paper • Plastic • Glass • PET bottles • Metal, etc. • Further horticultural/ garden waste should be segregated • With initiation of SMC,extended producers responsibility (EPR) can be introduced • Needs to be constantly revisited with fresh perspectives and prevailing trends of consumption and waste characterisation • Segregationagenda can be modified to align with recycling demand, industry standards, policies and technology in the future.

  14. Transportation Options AMC has planned for 6 zonal transfer stations which provide express transportation of waste from stations to the processing plants using high capacity compressed waste containers transported using large hook loader vehicles. As this efficient system of transportation is under implementation, it has been duly encouraged and incorporated in the master plan as the preferred scenario. • Around 97,500 MT/month or 87% of total waste collected is disposed at Pirana open dump. • Untreated and mixed waste disposal attracts waste pickers for manually segregating anything sellable in the recycling market including plastic, metal, fabric, footwear, electrical and even human hair. • Only 2,166 MT/month or 2% of total waste collected is disposed at scientific landfill at Gyaspur. The site has a capacity of 15,000 MT/month

  15. MSW Processing- Existing Situation • 2 functional processing plants – 1 for compost, other for RDF • Only 13% is processed, rest dumped in the open at Pirana – 10,763 MT/Month against 108,454 collection. • Installed capacity of existing plants – 30,000 MT/Month; including under construction plants – 69,000 MT/Month • AMC has also awarded work to 2 organizations for processing of 2000 MT of waste per day (or 30,000 MT per month) for 29 years
