Waste Management

• Self Managed – People might not be responsible enough• => littering

• Local collectors/rag pickers involved

• => Poor performance because of no sense of ownership

Waste Classification

•All waste is aggregated and dumped, so basically

there is no classification as such

Waste Processing and Recycling

•Most waste dumped straight away into landfills etc.

•No recycling is carried out



Collaborate with the government in managing the mess◦ Provide waste transportation service to the government, lease vehicles

etc. (X) [Not profitable to the government]

◦ Get contracts to maintain cleanliness of municipal dumps (X) [Not veryprofitable]

◦ Provide people to the government for municipal waste management (X)[Not very profitable]

◦ Look at earning revenue by generating energy from municipal wastes (X)[High initial investment, Municipal Wastes are not classified]

◦

Collect municipal waste from government and recycle it (X) [High initialinvestment in setting up recycling plant]

Start waste management independently, giving a holistic solution,not trying to collaborate with the government



• Trained collectors dressed in uniforms to collect waste

• (Trained local rag pickers/collectors – cheap + efficient labor)

• - Gives a hygienic feel

• - Collectors to ‘sell’ the idea of waste management to people

• - Project the ‘green’ image, ‘We care’ image

WasteManagement

• Classify wastes as ‘Dry’ and ‘Wet’

• Dry - papers, bottles, plastics, e-wastes etc.

• Wet – All other household wastes, primarily vegetables, liquid

wastes

• Provide kits consisting of different colored bins to users

• Daily Collection

Waste

Classification

• Dry wastes to be recycled

• Wet wastes

1. Reduce volume by employing volume compression

technologies

2. Remaining to be used to generate energy/dumped in

landfills

technology reduces volume of organic wastes by up to 40 - 60 %)

Wastes to be sold off to energy generatingplants/investing in energy generating plants which

can yield revenue from the generated energy

Other wet/organic wastes sold to manurecompanies



Environmental

Economical

SocialPeople become more aware, helps reduce

burden on the government/private player

Use of technology helps in reducing the

quantity of waste dumped in landfills

Better classification leads to better waste

management

Provides a source of employment to the

rag pickers/ waste collectors

A viable revenue model for a private

enterprise



Doing the entire waste management operations

on an organized scale might just bring about a

revolution like the Mumbai ‘dabbawalas’
