    India is facing a massive solid waste management challenge due to rapid urbanization. Over 62 million tonnes of municipal solid waste is generated annually, but only 43 million tonnes is collected and a mere 11.9 million tonnes is treated, with the rest dumped in landfill sites. Waste management rules in India are based on sustainability, precaution, and the polluter pays principle. However, most cities still dispose of waste by dumping it haphazardly.

    India’s Growing Waste

    With rapid urbanization the country is facing massive waste management


    challenge.

    • Over 377 million urban people live in 7,935 towns and cities and generate
    62 million tonnes of municipal solid waste per annum.
    • Only 43 million tonnes (MT) of the waste is collected, 11.9 MT is treated
    and 31 MT is dumped in landfill sites.

    Solid Waste Management (SWM) is one among the basic essential services
    provided by municipal authorities in the country to keep urban centre's
    clean. However, almost all municipal authorities deposit solid waste at a
    dump yard within or outside the city haphazardly.
    Waste management rules in India are based on
    the principles of
    • sustainable development
    • precaution and
    • polluter pays.
    These principles mandate municipalities and
    commercial establishments to act in an
    environmentally accountable and responsible
    manner—restoring balance, if their actions
    disrupt it. 
    The solid waste policy in India specifies the
    duties and responsibilities for hygienic waste
    management for cities and citizens of India.
    This policy was framed in September 2000,
    based on the March 1999 Report
    Reports :-

    • A report by IIT Kanpur (2006) found the


    potential of recovering at least 15 per
    cent or 15,000 MT of waste generated
    every day in the country.
    • ASSOCHAM report
    India is generating 130 million tonnes
    of e-waste as of 2018,
    a dramatic increase from the 93.5
    million tonnes of 2016.
    Prediction :-
    By 2020, India is expected to generate
    260 million tonnes of e-waste
    Top Waste Generating Cities In India
    According to a Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB)
    report,

    • Maharashtra tops by generating over 26,820


    tonnes/day
    India’s Contribution To The World’s Growing
    Waste

    over 3,500 tonnes of plastic waste every day, with cities like,
    New Delhi Chennai Kolkata Mumbai Bengaluru Ahmedabad
    Hyderabad.
    Researchers say,

    • India pumps around 0.6


    tonnes of plastic waste
    into the oceans
    annually.
    • It is the 12th biggest
    plastic polluter in the
    world and .,
    • Ranked 10th when it
    comes to the
    generation of municipal
    solid waste.
    1.7 million tonnes of
    electronic and electrical
    equipment annually and
    is the fifth biggest
    producer of e-waste in
    the world.

    Methods used for the safe disposal of waste

    • Segregation.
    The waste is segregated before it is disposed of.  various types
    of bins are used to segregate glass, metals, paper, cloth etc.
    and each type is handled separately by reusing them,
    recycling them or disposing 
    • Open Dumping.
    In this method waste materials are dumped in open low lands
    far away from the city. This method is not environment
    friendly.
    Small Step…..
    • For greener future, waste segregation is the need
    of the hour.

    *means keeping wet and dry wastes separately, so that  dry can be e
    recycled and wet waste can be composted
    Sanitary waste
