Stories/Cases/Data set - 2
In metro cities in India, an individual produces an average of 0.8 kg/ waste/ person daily. The
total municipal solid waste (MSW) generated in urban India has been estimated at 68.8 million
tons per year (TPY) (0.573 million metric tons per day (MMT/d) in the year 2008). The average
collection efficiency of MSW ranges from 22% to 60%.MSW typically contains 51% organic
waste, 17% recyclables, 11% hazardous and 21% inert waste. However, about 40% of all MSW
is not collected at all and hence lies littered in the city/town and finds its way to nearby drains
and water bodies, causing choking as well as pollution of surface water. Unsegregated waste
collection and transportation leads to dumping in the open, which generates leachate and
gascous emissions besides causing nuisance in the surrounding environment. Leachate
contaminates the groundwater as well as surface water in the vicinity and gaseous emissions
contribute to global warming.
