Solid Waste Management in PCMC (3R's Principle)
Niraj Burge | Sunil Gangurde
Abstract: Solid waste is inevitable task in urbanization process and it will increase in future. The collection, segregation, storage, transports and processing of solid waste needs planning and more investment. India is experiencing tremendous growth in urban areas which produce 120, 000 tonnes of solid waste per day. Some metropolitan cities like Mumbai, Calcutta, Bengaluru, and Pune showing typical urban pollution. Among these Pune is also one of the cities which produce large quantity (1000-2000 MT/day) of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW). Study involves the Solid waste Management system in PCMC (Pimpri Chinchwad Municipal Corporation). Prepare and submit an action plan of 3R cycle to PCMC regarding Solid Waste Management which gives maximum collection efficiency and route cost optimization. The methodology involved locating the bin positions, mapping collection points and routes of vehicle, assessing waste characteristics through sampling.75 percent of total waste can be reduced from going to landfill by practicing 3R's. This will not only reduce pollution caused by dumping but also make today-s waste as tomorrow-s resource.
