  1. Mrs Almitra H Patel, Member Supreme Court Committee for Solid Waste Management almitrapatel@rediffmail.com Role Of Ulbs & Public In Solid Waste Management

  2. ULB? SWM is an obligatory duty for Urban Local Bodies. It is easier to fulfil this with cooperation from the public PUBLIC? SWM is NOT an NGO’s job. Expecting the public or a private agency to do the ULB’s job, even on paymt, is not the answer. MAKE CITIZENS YOUR PARTNERS in SWM SWM : WHOSE JOB ?

  3. ULBs must NEVER MIX inert waste (road dust, drain silt, debris) with Garbage (whether segregated or not). IDENTIFY SPACES for useful placement of Inerts. This reduces waste by 40% ! Citizens will not add inerts to a door-to- door collection route. Calcutta charges Rs 10 per handcart for debris clearance from private sites. Run a Hot-line for Rubble Exchange SEGREGATION OF WASTE-1

  4. Collect Wet and Dry waste separately : Preferably at different times or weekly or in different ways. Encourage Rag-pickers to work alongside Safai Karmacharis. Citizens cooperate 60% easily, but lose heart when they see both wastes dumped into same lorry at their doorstep, or unloaded at same disposal point. Encourage waste-buyers by lifting their rejects weekly SEGREGATION OF WASTE-2

  5. Plan separate destinations for Wet and Dry waste. Provide Sorting Stations in ULB spaces. Provide recycling eqpt at disposal site. DRY WASTE MANAGEMENTSPACES

  6. Shredded plastic film added 8% in bitumen makes wonderful asphalt roads. PWD SPECIFICATIONS MUST BE AMENDED to allow for such use. ULB Schools can help. Weekly School Collection of carrybags, bread wrappers, milk pouches etc has reduced plastic menace in Kodagu Dist. and in Mussoorie. NGOs can help organise it POLICIES for DRY-WASTE USE

  7. Nasik’s “naka” system is cost-effective: trucks halt briefly at road junctions; NO PRIMARY Collection. City is free of dustbins on roads. Stray animals then are fewer too. Citizens bring their home waste-bins directly to the truck and empty them directly into it. Ragpickers in truck collect dry waste for recycling, help reduce waste + make it more suitable forcomposting 3 WAYS TO IMPROVE WASTE COLLECTION & TRANSPORT:Nasik, Punjab, Ranchi models

  8. Cities pay Rs 1100 per 200 households for door-to-door collection. City provides trucks for secondary transport from collection points. Park mgt costs are shared, also in Vizag. Residents contribute for additional costs. Permission for Mobile Ads on hand-carts or tricycles encourages sponsors to pay for these. Residents manage Parks from corpus income. PUNJAB pays communities to manage their own wastes

  9. RMC provided vehicles for Mass Cleanup Drive before starting program. RMC SKs work happily for door-to-door as per NGO’s planning. RMC tractor clears waste. Needs a good strong NGO. NBJK provided 200 man-days to remove 200 t backlog waste in 10 days. Organised Ward into ad-hoc Pocket Devlopment Committees in 2 months for door-to-door on hh contrib’n. Waste sanitising to start soon at collection points, and later decentralised composting. Ranchi allows an NGO to manage a Ward: 5 Wards so far.

  10. Towns must pass Rules/ Resolutions requiring ground-floor occupiers to keep their frontages clean upto road centre, esp for commercial areas, incl drain, pave- ment, road shoulder. Citizens cooperate AFTER Mass Cleanup Drive, with NGO or Trade Association support and monitoring. This helps control hawker- litter, flooding and footpath encroachments. MERA AANGAN SAAF :My Clean Frontage

  11. THREE SUCCESSFUL MODELS for SLUMS: Truck at entrance, Take-away bins Dhaka composting All require close ULB interaction with local leaders or councillors. Offer to start wherever full support is promised. Whistle-system is easiest CONCENTRATE ON THE DIRTIEST AREAS FIRST !

  12. Commitment at top reqd: Appoint OSD Slum Adoption for regular, punctual pickup & rapid response to grievances. Delegate fiscal powers. Start with Mass Cleanup. Local unemployed youth clean drains 7-8am, then Place buckets in slum from 8-10 am for residents’ use. 10-11am Empty buckets into lorry, stack all bins. Re 1 per capita per month or max Rs 5/family p.m. TAKE-AWAY BINS, MUMBAI

  13. Perforated drum given to 5-6 families to share. Only 1-2” of food wastes to be added in a layer over starter compost at bottom of barrel. NGO buys compost at Rs 2/kg if quality OK. Very popular idea in slums. Many demand lockable lids to keep out misuse by others. Some offer to buy drums on instalments, by payment in kind through compost made DHAKA NGO buys back compost

  14. Bangalore APPOINTS Shuchi Mitras to help monitor performance. Payment for clearance should require local OK ENFORCE built-in contractual penalties. Citizens cooperate where cities are serious about SWM and enforcement. Hyderabad model works well. CIVIC WARDENS AID A CITY

  15. Street-light Dept to keep tube-lights and bulbs out of city waste. Require take-back policies for oil & aerosol cans, sachets, mini-packs, electronic hardware / parts. See www.rbrc.com on how to organise collection: First-Tuesday pickups of button cells, insulin needles, broken glass, thru NGOs,trade and cultural associations. START WARD-WISE HAZ-WASTE PICK-UP SCHEMES

  16. Encourage food banks: Animal-feed exchange, Decentralised composting, by buying local composts for horticulture dept use, and avoid cowdung use to discourage city stables. Provide night-shelter or poor-feeding spaces. Send veg-market waste to go-shalas promptly, hotel waste to piggeries. Make unused park spaces available to interested citizens for composting. Share transport savings with those who do this. MINIMISE AND UTILISE

  17. Pesticides are banned on waste and dustbins ! Use composting biocultures at all waste-collection points: They control odour and hence flies also. Citizens will cooperate in better waste management when their environment improves SANITISE SOLID WASTES

  18. Encourage septic-tank treatments for sludge reduction in-situ. Treat septic tanks, sumps and drains for mosquito control with public help, avoiding DDT and Pesticides. Make septic-tank inoculants available to public at Ward Offices. Also bio-larvicides like Bti and lebestes fish as at Nagpur, or vent-pipe Net covers as in Pune. MINIMISE SEPTIC-TANK SLUDGESSANITISE LIQUID WASTE TOO

  19. Unload waste in wind - rows at disposal sites. Inoculate with cow-dung water 5% or biocultures. Minimise inerts and plastics to auction waste. Promote Urban Agricult on vacant sites, or tax rebates for fencing. Invite and accept public suggestions for improve- ment and for eco- Friendly land use and SWM Policies. Make the public your PARTNER for a Clean City. STABILISE ALL WASTES
