Abstract
Solid waste management is amajor problemwhich
occur worldwide.Municipal solid wastes, commonly
known as trash or garbage, are the solid wastes
generated from different municipalities.Improper
management of solid waste (SW) causes too much of
inconveniences. It is a big challenge all over the world
for human beings.. Solid waste management includes
the entire process of collection, transportation and
disposal of waste in proper mannerThe problem of
solid waste management (SWM) is also prevailing in
the urban environment of Dhule city. Therefore the
present study was taken to find out the problems and
prospects of solid waste management for Dhule city. A
detailed investigation was made regarding the
methods of practices associated with sources, quantity
generated, collection, transportation, storage,
treatment and disposal of solid waste in Dhule city.
The data collected fromquestionnaire, individual field
visit, and interacting with people which gives the
proper idea for solid waste management of dhule city.
At present stage open dumping is carried out into the
city which is very unhygienic and harmful for the
nearby locality. This paper will give the idea about
alternative solution for open dumping which does not
create any unhealthy condition.

Introduction
Dhule district stretches between 20°38’ to21°61’’ at
north Latitude and between 73°50’ to75°11’ at East
Longitude. it is comes in the state of Maharashtra.
The city’s population by the end of 2011 is 3,75,559
.City is laying on the northern tip of Maharashtra.
Dhule city is the administrative headquarter of the
district. Dhule district covers a total area of about
8100 square kilometers .The district has one prime
river basin - the tapi basin. There are several tourist
places in this district.
Increase in rate of generation of solid waste is only
due to the rapidly growing human population and the
modern life style; the substantial increase in the solid
waste generation resulting into the contamination of
air, water and land resources.Dhule is one of the very
few well-planned cities of India
As in other Cities of India, disposal of Municipal
Solid Waste (MSW) poses greater challenges to the
Dhule city. It is estimated that 160 MTPD of MSW
are generated in Dhule. Currently, it is being collected,
transported and disposed at near to city at Sr. No.61 &

has treatthe solid waste by open dumping. These
practices attract lot of public and academicians
objection in view of open dumping of MSW,
obnoxious odour and flies menace etc. It also poses
great risk of ground water contamination due to
percolation. Finding a scientific solution to the MSW
disposal problem is prime consideration of the
Government as it is connected with public health
issues.
Chief sources of solid waste generated in Municipal
Areas
a) Household Waste.
b) Commercials.
c) Street sweeping.
d) Hotels and Restaurants.
e) Clinics and dispensaries.
Collection of Municipal Solid Waste
The bins are provided for storage of MSW at the
source into the city. The bins are common for both
decomposable and non-decomposable waste (no
segregation of waste is performed).The sweepers put
the road wastes into a wheelbarrow and then transfer
the waste to dustbins or collection point.
Transportation of Municipal Solid Waste
Transportation of waste is done through a trucks. The
transport vehicles are loaded manually and these are
used for only one shift in a day.. During the study
period, it was observed that vehicles transporting
waste were properly covered.
Disposal of Municipal waste
The MSW of Dhule city was being dumped on
authorized sites or was used to fill up the pits or low
lying areas. Total waste generated is dump on
approved site which is near from the Dhule city where
untreated 100-120 tonnes of MSW was being dumped
daily. The waste processing site is situated in the area
of 3 to 4 Acres.

LITERATURE SURVEY
Literature survey will be done for knowing the present
status of solid waste generation and also for knowing
the various disposal method and theories related to
solid waste waste management. Earlier work carried
out by the various researchers will be incorporated
there methods of disposal of waste and the way of
managing the solid waste will be mentioned.
Vijay Kumar*, Dr R. K. Pandit* studiedthe Solid
waste contains organic as well as inorganic matters .
Solid waste management includes the entire process of
dealing with solid waste ,starting from the collection
from the primary source to ultimately disposing off it
hygienically, so that it may not be a nuisance or create
any harmful effect on near by community .The solid
waste management involves , management at waste
generation level , storage at the source of generation ,
primary collection , street cleansing , temporary
storage at locality level , regular and periodic
transportation of this temporarily collected waste to
disposing sites and treatment plants.^Volume 3, Issue

Bundela P.S. 1 , Gautam S.P. 2 , Pandey A.K. 3 ,
Awasthi M.K. 2 , Sarsaiya S.are concluded that the
Agricultural application of Municipal Solid Waste
(MSW), as nutrient source for plants and as soil
conditioner, is the most cost effective option of MSW
management because of its advantages over traditional
means such as landfilling or incineration. However,
agricultural application of MSW can lead to a
potential environmental threat due to the presence of
pathogens and toxic pollutants. Composting is an
attractive alternative of MSW recycling. Application
of MSW compost (MSWC) in agricultural soils can
directly alter soil physicochemical properties as well
as promote plant growth, Volume 1, No 4, 2010
Ch. Bhavannarayana et al, A trend of significant
increase in municipal solid waste generation has been
recorded worldwide. This has been found due to over
population growth rate, industrialization, urbanization
and economic growth. Consumerism speed has been
found very high covering around more than 50% of

total population since last decade due to higher
economic growth, which has ultimately resulted in
increased solid waste generation. Municipal solid
waste generation showed different trend and a positive
correlation with economic development in term of
kg/capita/day solid waste generation at world scale.^

Tom L. Richard The recent upsurge of interest in
composting the organic fractions of municipal solid
waste (MSW) builds on largely successful efforts with
composting yard trimmings, agricultural wastes, and
sewage sludge. While experience with these other
materials is helpful in considering an MSW
composting program, there are a number of challenges
unique to MSW which need to be addressed. MSW
contains materials which vary widely in size,moisture,
and nutrient content, and the organic fractions can be
mixed with varying degrees of non-compostable
wastes and possibly hazardous constituents.
Manufacturing a marketable compost product from
this material requires a range of physical processing
technologies in addition to the biological process
management common to other types of composting.
Four tasks are central to the design of a modern MSW
composting system: collection, contaminantseparation,
sizing and mixing,and biological decomposition.
P. U. Asnani studied that solid waste management is
one among the basic essentialservices provided by
municipal authorities in thecountry to keep urban
centres clean. However, it isamong the most poorly
rendered services in the basket—thesystems applied
are unscientific, outdated and inefficient;population
coverage is low; and the poor are marginalized.Waste
is littered all over leading to insanitary living
conditions.Municipal laws governing the urban local
bodies do nothave adequate provisions to deal
effectively with the evergrowing problem of solid
waste management. With rapidurbanization, the
situation is becoming critical. The urbanpopulation
has grown fivefold in the last six decadeswith 285.35
million people living in urban areas as per the2001
Census.

pit, and rain does not get in to damage the
decomposition process. In warm climates, about one
month after the pit has been filled the compost can be
turned over and checked. After one month cover is
removed and all the materials are turned over into the
second pit,i.e. from pit A to pit B. It is important to
put the materials from the top of pit A into the bottom
of pit B, and so on, with the materials from the bottom
of pit A getting to the top of pit B. The materials can
be mixed together, but they should be added in layers
20–25 cm thick and sprinkled with water to makesure
they stay moist, but NOT soaked. Different Test are
carried out such as temp., PH, BOD and COD and
results obtain are shown in table no 1.
METHODOLOGY
The solid waste from the different random site was
collected, from bins provided by existing system of
waste management. For the purpose of sample
collection I put the bins selected for sample collection,
there for the sample was collected in these bags was
taken out and examine by taking weight of that bag.
Then the waste is take out from these bags and sorted
in to different categories and weighted for
measurement of composition of particular type of
waste. And for the measurement of the amount of road
side waste I, take survey of the area of waste
deposition. And from this I observed that amount of
organic waste is more. organic waste collected per day
is near about 100 MT. And total waste generated in
city is 160 MT/day so that composting is proper way
of disposing organic waste.Prior to composting of
MSW, the maximum particle size was restricted to 1-2
cm in order to provide better aeration and moisture
control. I have preferred Indore compost preparation
method because it is done over a short period of time
andin a systematic way of putting the materials
together. This method is most suitable for the rainy
season when there are plenty of materials, e.g. weeds,
to put into the compost. However, the place for
making compost should be well-drained and easy to
protect from floods and excess rain. The compost can
be made either by piling in a heap or heaps, or in a pit
or pits. In this method damaged crops that cannot be
sold or eaten, can be collected together and organized
for making compost.Clear the site of stones, weeds
and grasses, but do not cut down any youngtrees.
Instead, put the site so it is in the shade of the tree(s).
The tree(s) will grow, provide shade and protect the
compost heap. Mark out the area for the compost
heap. A minimum area is 1.25 m x 1.25 m. If it is
smaller than this, the heap will dry out quickly so
compost will not be made properly. The area can be
larger, up to 3 m x 2.5 m.The compost is fed in layers
25 mm.After the pit is full of compost making
materials, the top should be covered withwet mud
mixed with grass and/or cow dung, and wide leaves
such as those of banana, pumpkin or even from fig
trees, and/or plastic so the moisture stays inside the

VI.RESULT AND DISCUSSION
The project is in working condition and the result
obtain in table no 1 are partial. from the above result
temp is rises upto 45 to 50 .And value of BOD and
COD are decreases upto40 to 50% at the end of 30
days. Composting is lengthy process but the final
product is very useful for agricultural purpose. Open
dumping of solid waste required more area and it
create unhealthy environment as compared to this
composting required less area and Agricultural
utilization of compost is the most costeffective MSW
management option.
