Introduction -MSW

Definition:
Municipal Solid Waste includes commercial and residential wastes generated in a municipal or notified
areas in either solid or semi-solid form excluding industrial hazardous wastes but including treated bio-
medical wastes
- Municipal Solid Wastes (Management and Handling) Rules,
2000.
Waste minimization:
Prevention of waste being created is known as waste
reduction which is an important method of waste
management.
The modern concepts based on the three ‘R’s are:
Reduce, Reuse and Recycle.
Methods of avoidance include reuse of second hand
products, designing products to be refillable or
reusable, repairing broken items instead of buying new
etc

Solid Waste Management in India
India is the second largest nation in the world, with a population of 1.21 billion, accounting for nearly
18% of world’s human population.
The proportion of population residing in urban areas has increased from 27.8 % in 2001 to 31.80 %
in 2011 and likely to reach 50% by 2030.
India is facing a sharp contrast between its increasing urban population and available services and
resources. Solid waste management (SWM) is one such service where India has an enormous gap to
fill.
Waste Generation:
It is estimated that Urban India generates about 1.5 Lakhs Tonnes per day.
The per capita waste generation rate in India has increased from 0.44 kg/day in 2001 to 0.5 kg/day in
2011.
Waste generation rate in Indian cities ranges between 200 - 870 grams/day, depending upon the
region’s lifestyle and the size of the city. The per capita waste generation is increasing by about 1.3%
per year in India

LANDFILL
A landfill site (also known as dump, rubbish dump or dumping ground) is a site for the disposal of
waste materials by burial and is the oldest form of waste treatment.
The design, construction, management of the Landfill should be in accordance with the MSW Act
2000.
ISSUES:
A large number of impacts may occur from landfill operations. These impacts can include:
i. Injuries to wildlife
ii. Infrastructure damage
iii. Pollution of the local environment
iv. Harboring of disease vectors (such as rats/flies)
v. Methane is generated (by decaying organic wastes)
vi. Fatal accidents (such as scavengers buried under waste piles)

oTakes place when the wastes reach
water bodies
oPollution of rivers, lakes and ground
water
Ground water
contamination
Takes place when residues from
waste, leach into the ground water
▪A specific environmental hazard
caused by waste is Leachate which is
the liquid that forms as water trickles
through contaminated areas leaching
out the chemicals
▪Movement of Leachate from
landfills, effluent treating plants and
waste disposal sites may result in
hazardous substances entering surface
water, ground water or soil

CASE OF MAVALLIPURA LANDFILLS The Mavallipura landfills are merely 2.5 kms. away from the
the flow of River Arkavathi and comprehensively violate anan order of the Karnataka Department of Forest, Ecology andEcology and Environment that protects the 1453 sq kmswatershed of Tippagondanahalli Reservoir across ArkavathiArkavathi - a major drinking water source for Bangalore -- from polluting facilities.
landfills is that they are located merely 5.6 kms from thecritical defense facility Yelahanka Air Force Base.

ISSUES IN MAVALLIPURA LANDFILL SITE:
With water contamination widespread, diarrhea is very common. This has resulted in people
becoming increasingly vulnerable to a variety of infections and children appear generally
malnourished.
The most alarming indicator of the high rate of human toxicity is that the village has discovered a
sudden spike in the rate of cancers, kidney failures and heart diseases.
The results showed that the highest metal concentration that exists in the Leachate was Iron which
is about of 12 ppm.
Contamination of the soil and water resulting in failed crops, such that many of the farmers in the
village are turning to alternate means of livelihood like brick making.
NO FENCING: Landfill site shall be fenced or hedged and provided with proper gate to monitor
incoming vehicles or other modes of transportation
NO PROPER TREATMENT: leachates collection and treatment shall be made.
RUN-OFF FROM SITE: Prevention of run-off from landfill area entering any stream, river, lake
or pond.

GARBAGE COLLECTION
• Outsourced the door-to-door collection upto 80% of the area and collection
is through tricycles
• GHMC provided tricycles to the rag pickers at free of cost
• Each tricycle crew would cover 200 – 250 houses/establishments
• They are Implementing voluntary garbage disposal in association with
RWAs
• Separate collection of waste from bulk waste generators by GHMC
through compactors
• Introduced the unit system involving the SHGs 10
GARBAGE STORAGE
• Primary storage at the generation sources.
• Secondary storage at community level dumper bins.GARBAGE TRANSPORTATION
• Primary transportation would be carried out through tricycle
• Secondary transportation through dumper bins and dumper placers with rear
end loader compactors
• Tertiary transfer-station from transfer-stations to the disposal site through
long haul vehicles

Gradual change in the green cover surrounding the
dumping yard
Lakes were present in the surrounding
landuse before but now they were not present
ISSUES
LOCATION
Dumping yard is at higher elevation from residential area
WIND DIRECTION & PUBLIC HEALTH
Direction of wind from land fill site is towards south west direction which is on the side of residential
area which is negative impact on public health, this direction of wind helps harmful air pollutants
released from site to easily move to wards settlement's which creates major effects on public health .
Direction of wind in site area acts as driver which eases flow of pollutants towards residential area.
• The smoke and the dusty fog blows in the direction of the RGK .
• The soil pollution is making the area in to barren lands.
• The lakes surrounding the study area are highly polluted due to dump yard.
BAD ODOUR
Bad Smell from the dumping yard comes to around 2 Kms radius.
GROUND WATER AND SURFACE WATER CONTAMINATION
G.Gowtham Raj , P.Joseph , B.L.S.Harsha , K.Ravi Varma , Y.Sarath Chandra , V.SrinivasPLANNING VII Sem
In rainy season water & waste from dump yard flow towards settlements and ground water gets
contaminated in surrounding area due to Leachate in dump yard
FIRES AND EXPLOSIONS –AIR POLLUTION
Fires and explosions occur at waste treatment facilities because of improper storage or handling of
materials. Large amount of heat is generated in wasted dumped which results in sudden explosion
and also leading to air pollution in that area.
