Guideline to this presentation
 Welcome!
- All you need is passion and wish to
make a difference to the environment.

areas, understand how the current maintenance
works and therefore what would be the changes
to the current system.

e.g. Bangalore - 4000T a day i.e 4000000 kgs a day!!! Equivalent to
4000 big truck loads a day… can you guess the quantity in India?
3 R’s of WASTE Management

FIRST – REDUCE – it means consuming and throwing away less. This prevents
generation of waste in the first place so it is the most preferred method of
waste management and goes a long way towards protecting the environment.
 Reduce usage of plastic – use cloth bags for shopping.
 Reduce use of garbage bags.
 Reduce usage of paper/plastic plates/cups for parties – use washable
cutlery.
 Reduce take away food – it is good for your health too!
 Use less tissue paper

SECOND – REUSE – reusing items by repairing them, donating them to charity
or selling them also reduces waste. This is better than recycling as the item
need not be reprocessed before using them.
 Reuse plastic bags till they are torn.
 Reuse
–
old
clothes,
books,
cycles
etc.

THIRD – RECYCLE – transforms material from waste to valuable resources
again. IT generates a host of environmental, financial and social benefits.
Materials like glass, plastic etc are segregated are separated and sent to
facilities where they can be processed into new material or products.
 Segregate at source and ensure that it goes into the recycling loop.
Mindset of people

Mindset of the “rising affluent”
Able to afford more products and generate
more waste
 Affordable labor – each family would have 2-4
people serving them– maid, cook, car
driver/car cleaner, clothes ironing etc
 As long as my house is clean its fine – why
should I care where the waste goes?


Waste related health hazards for the “rag
picker” community

Types of consumers & how to get their
attention
“What’s in it for me?” - (show them the impact
on environment)
 “I care for the environment” - (make them part
of your team)
 “I don’t care” - (regular awareness and
feedback on the project)

Your city rules – w.e.f Oct 1st 2012

Bulk Generator > 10 units

The Rules state that Bulk Generators shall not mix wet waste with any
other waste.

Wet waste and garden waste shall be composted at source or processed
using bio methanisation technique.

If there are space constraints for composting, arrangements should be
made by the Bulk Generator to hand over wet waste to private
composters or BBMP Wet Waste collectors on payment of prescribed
fees.

The Rules state that Bulk Generators should hand over dry waste to
authorised Dry Waste Collection Centres.

Sanitary waste should be deposited at the nearest Bio-Medical Waste
Collection Centre.

Only rejects/inerts will be collected by the BBMP.

To summarise, a Bulk Generator is solely responsible to arrive at ways
and means of disposing its waste and the BBMP will not collect waste as
a matter of routine the way it is being done today.

WASTE Management Plan – FRONT END
Pick from Options 1a/1b OR 2 that works for your place. Delete the
Others
1)
Pick up from door step
a)
b)
2)
Different coloured bags provided to residents and days of pick from
each doorstep could be identified eg: Wet waste & medical waste
everyday/once in two days?, Dry - once in 3 days (Wed, Sun?).
Different coloured stickers to be provided and residents to use
regular black garbage bag and put appropriate sticker on it for
identification. This increases the use of garbage bags and is
therefore not an ideal solution.
Residents to put in a designated area/bins in a common location.
Different coloured bins to be put in at a central location in the
complex. Residents to segregate at home and come and dump in the
bins.
Cost for communication: This is not usually high. Banner printing cost is
around 30 Rs/sq ft.

Managing DRY WASTE
Pick an option that works for your neighbourhood
Option 1: Send dry waste to Municipal segregation centre or
to an NGO
Option 2: Further segregation of dry waste in-house.
Space requirement:
Cost for putting up infrastructure:
Recommendation: If there is space constraint go for option 1.
Usable DRY Waste
Identify organisation/s which are closer to your place, do
a good job of reusing material and converting them into
usable stuff.
Recommendation: GOONJ – they operate in most cities
of India
Managing ORGANIC WASTE
Pick an option that works for your neighborhood
Option 1 – upto 40 flats – Manthan from Daily Dump (contact and get
proposal)
Option 2 – upto 40 flats - Composting tanks designed by Haritha NT
(contact and get proposal)
Option 3: For > 40 flats – composting machine and infrastructure for
curing. Takes 15-20 days for the compost to get generated. Contact
Vennar Organics
Option 4: For >40 flats – biogas machine which generates methane gas or
Electricity along with compost. Contact - Mainak Chakraborty
Option 5: Food waste disposer in individual houses and through sewage treatment
plant (STP)
Option 6: Acccummulate organic waste and send for composting to an external
agency
