SUMMARY
The aim of this study was to examine the factors influencing households awareness and
participation in domestic waste disposal and recycling, focusing on environmental educational.
The study was carried out from Janakpuri District, Delhi.
A literature review was showed, covering concepts of domestic waste management waste
prevention, collection, recycling and reuse, followed by household analysis using observed data.
The analysis shows that there is a low level of household awareness about the environmental
implications of domestic waste management in Delhi region and hence low level of participation
in domestic waste sorting, disposal and recycling.

1 INTRODUCTION AND OVERVIEWS

The quantity of municipal solid wastes generated in Delhi has been constantly rising over the
years. This can be credited to the rapid population growth, mass migration of population from
rural to urban areas, increase in economic activities in general in the city and the change in
lifestyle of the people. According to the Population Census 2001, the highest percentage of urban
population in India is in Delhi (93.01%). Change in lifestyle of the people has resulted in
increased wasteful consumption, leading to a change in the composition and increase in the
quantum of solid waste generated.
Urban solid waste is normally a complex mixture of household, construction, commercial, toxic
industrial elements and hospital wastes. On an average, Delhi generates 4000 tonnes of
municipal solid waste per day. It consists of about 32% compostable matter. The recyclable
components include paper 6.6%, plastics 1.5% and metals 2.5%. Primarily the responsibility of
solid waste management is vested upon several public sector agencies. However, various other
stakeholder groups, such as rag pickers, waste dealers, recyclers and recycling unit workers play
significant roles in the overall scheme of things.

1.1 The Problem
1

Growing by tons and mounds, Delhis garbage crisis may soon reach its breaking point.
Three of the four stinking waste mountains (landfills) are long overdue for closure and there are
no fresh landfills available to take in the current daily discard of 9,000 tonnes. Since as much as
85% of the city doesnt have a formal door-to-door trash pick-up system, the emerging scenario
is both worrisome and scary.
The 2,500-odd filthy community bins (dhalaos) that serve as secondary collection centers for the
three municipal bodies in thousands of colonies will start overflowing, and garbage will spill on
to the streets. Residents will have no option but to start throwing waste out.

MOHIT GUPTA M ARCH I SEM F/O ARCHITECTURE & EKISTICS, JMI, NEW DELHI
People in Delhi are also bitterly opposed to new landfills coming up in their neighborhood as
they have seen the authorities did not maintain the past ones scientifically, turning them into
massive, polluting heaps. The black thick liquid, leachate, created when rainwater filters down
through the landfill, has made the soil highly toxic. Rainwater runoff goes into surface water
drains while methane poisons the air.
Delhis non-dumping options to manage waste have also shrunk drastically. Burning waste no
longer seems viable because of
environmental concerns and poor segregation
of waste. Compost plants are not doing well
because manure doesnt sell, and again
becomes garbage.
As much as 50% of the waste is fit for
composting. About 30 per cent of it can be
recycled. Effective segregation at source, in
transit and during disposal, will mean only
20 per cent of the refuse is needed to be sent
to the landfill site. This will also mean a
cleaner city with fewer dhalaos, garbage
trucks and longer lifespan for landfills. But
instead of proper segregation, only random
picking continues.
Delhi has miserably failed to manage its
waste load. Only 15 per cent of R1,350 crore
that the three corporations spend on waste
management and sanitation is spent on
actual disposal. The rest goes into collection
and transportation.
The authorities must ensure segregation and promote composting and recycling. They must
quantify waste generation for setting effective reduction targets. But dont wait for the authorities
to do everything.

The problem of this study is the growing trend of city pollution in Delhi through inappropriate
waste management which is becoming evident in the Delhi Metropolitan Area (DMA). Large
parts of Delhi, especially poorer settlements, are becoming untidy due to improper domestic
waste disposal and low participation in domestic waste recycling. This situation is becoming
obvious particularly in the impulsive settlements and around the city outskirts, which poses
various environmental problems. This study investigates the role of environmental education,
location of suburb and wealth in determining household participation in domestic waste disposal
and recycling in Delhi Municipality Area.
1.2 Aims & Objective of the study
Defining and elaborating the meaning of GARBAGE or Municipal Solid Waste?
Describe the contents of MSW?
Explain how we use landfilling, incinerating and composting to dispose of our garbage?
Recycling the waste

1.3 Research method
How much garbage and trash (municipal solid waste) do Indians produce a year?
What are the ways in which municipalities dispose of their garbage and trash?
Of what kind of material is most of our garbage and trash composed?
How is recycling helping our landfills?
Is it possible to separate the biodegradable & degradable waste on the household level?

2 CONCEPTS OF DOMESTIC WASTE MANAGEMENT

Also known as "municipal solid waste", domestic waste is waste that is generated as a result of
the ordinary day-to-day use of a domestic premise and either:-
1. Taken from the premises by or on behalf of the person who generated the waste; or
2. Collected by or on behalf of a local government as part of a waste collection and disposal
system.
2.1 Domestic Solid Waste Management
Domestic solid waste management encompasses the full range of management activities for
domestic waste streams from the point of generating the waste to the point of disposal. These
activities largely focus on resource recovery, which includes all the activities entailed in waste
segregation, collection and processing, which are carried out taking into consideration economic
viability of the material that is being recovered, e.g. for re-use and recycling.

2.2 Re-use & Recycling
In this study, re-use and recycling are conceptualized as processes which provide an opportunity
to capture some of the values from waste. Of the two concepts, re-use is a simpler technique
involving the re-utilisation of material in Its end-use form without the necessity of further value
addition or reprocessing. Recycling on the other hand, involves processing waste through
conversion of parts or all of the waste into other useful material or to recover the original raw
matter. While recycling and re-use provide an opportunity to regain residual value of waste
material, or transform waste into usable raw materials, the resource requirements (energy, human
resources, etc.) may sometimes be very great. These resource requirements can be greatly
reduced through waste prevention, collection and treatment.

2.3 Waste Prevention, Collection & Treatment
Waste prevention is defined as all the activities and efforts of individuals and/or groups of
individuals undertaken to minimize the volume of domestic waste generated, or generate waste
in a form that facilitates easy collection, treatment and recycling). The collection of waste and its
recovery from different waste generating points is carried out by many agents such as formal and
informal, which may represent a variety of organization structure and relationships.
Figure 2-2 EVOLUTION OF WASTE

In developing countries, solid waste management comes under the auspices of municipal bodies,
which are the formal bodies responsible for the collection, removal and disposal of garbage from
public places, and for the maintenance of dumping grounds.

Specific areas of action on improving the efficiency of waste management include:
Waste prevention, minimization and waste detoxification;
Waste collection, transfer, transport and storage; and
Waste treatment, including waste disposal.
In the developed countries, different technologies may be available for waste treatment and
recycling. Generally, four main groups of waste treatment methods exist. These include:
Biological Treatment
Incineration
Landfilling
Dumping

2.4 Status of MSW in India
Solid waste management is one among the fundamental and essential services provided by
municipal authorities in the country to keep urban centers clean. Solid waste management has
always been a serious problem for cities throughout the world.

Figure 2-3 MSW GENERATE IN INDIA


Modern civilization has brought a lot of luxuries and conveniences to our lives. However, with
all of the amenities that modern life brings us, they also cause us to contribute to producing a
large quantity of trash that needs to be taken care of. Solid waste management is an integral
element of modern society.

3.1 Introduction
In the municipal solid waste generated in Indian cities, Delhis position is second. Janakpuri is a
main residential area in West Delhi. It is one of the most well planned and wealthy areas of West
Delhi popular for big sized luxury villas and residential plots. The area started to develop in the
1970s. In recent years it has gained good popularity with residents of West Delhi for it houses
the commercial complex of District Centre along with various government offices and other
businesses. It is one of the most peaceful and calm residential areas of Delhi and is also known
as Colony of Parks. The total MSW disposal of the entire zone around 2500 Tonnes per day.

3.2.2 Condition of Dhalaos / Receptacles

1. 173/117 - A-1 PANKHA ROAD
Only 25% of garbage is cleaned up from this site. Rest are
remaining as it is on this dhalao. MCD defines zero time
garbage but there is not a single minute when the Dhalao is
cleaned up. A very tidy condition of receptacle creates terror
while working inside it. Garbage comes at the main road
influence the traffic.
2. 174/117 - A-1 NEAR MARKET
The condition of 174 no. is quite better due to the nearby
market area. Daily around 4 MCD Vans carried garbage
from this receptacle. There is a door-to-door service in A-1
pocket. Some houses put their waste by themselves. Two
Street corner bins are placed adjacent to the dhalao. Market
people complained MCD for the foul smell of dhalao.

3. 175/117 - A-1 BLOCK OPPOSITE MCD SCHOOL Non Operational
4. 176/117 A-3 BLOCK NEAR MARKET Non Operational
5. 177/117 A-2 BLOCK Non Operational

6. 178/117 A-2 MOTA SINGH
Garbage van came daily for lifting up the waste.
Condition of this dhalao is quite better. Private rag
pickers, which are not legalized from AIKMM are also
came there & picked up their usable material.

7. 179/117 POSANGIPUR

This dhalao came under Posangipur village of
population around 3000 people. Due to the
proper connectivity and through easy
approach, this dhalao is updated with respect
to its time value.

8. 180/117 CHANDER NAGAR
This is the biggest dhalao in the Janakpuri
area. Daily around 4 garbage collecting trucks
carrying waste from here. After segregating the
degradable, the rest waste is going through the
Bhalswa Landfill. Rest waste is cleared by the
mechanical sweeping.

9. 181/117 D.T.E.A. SCHOOL
The condition of the dhalao is good but the
surrounding suffers due to improper segregation
and the toilet block adjacent to the dhalao. A
mixed foul smell is always there and no
alternative or come across.

10. 182/117 TAXI STAND
A dhalao near the taxi stand of Janakpuri West (A-Block) is
in very poor condition. A depilated structure named dhalao
is there to collect the garbage. In monsoon, all trash became
waste just for the non-shading structure. Commuters feel to
hide themselves on the taxi stand.

11. 183/117 A-5/A GAS GODWN
A receptacle near the gas godwn mostly filled up with the
industrial and medical wastes. A hospital is just opposite to the
gas godwn. Very few rag pickers come over there for
segregation. This dhalao mostly filled with the inorganic waste
like batteries, cells, containers etc.

12. 184/117 ASALATPUR
Dhalao No. 184 is at the Asalatpur Village of Janakpuri
West (A-Block). The dhalao is in good condition. No
street corner bins are there. People throw their waste in an
improper way but the managing teams puts the great
efforts to clean up the receptacle.

CONCLUSION
The overall conditions of dhalaos(receptacles) of Janakpuri West is in adequate manner.
The process of collection and transportation is worked in a proper way but the the method
of segregation is very poor.
Government charging the rag pickers who segregate the waste privately or they are not
legalized from AIKMM.
People of the janakpuri were not segregate their waste properly in dry waste and wet
waste through which the usable waste for rag pickers has become no use.
Dhalao no. 175,176 and 177 which are non-operational, people put their waste at those
vacant lands even after demolishing the dhalaos.
GPS based traction system is in transportation vehicle has been introduced.
There is a mixed composition in the solid waste of Janakpuri Area. It includes:
Food & Garden Waste 40%
Glass & Ceramic Waste 5%
Metal 3%
Inert 15%
Plastic/ Rubber 4%
Textile 6%
Paper 27%

4.1 Segregation of waste
The waste dumped in community bins is a mixed type of waste, i.e. all types of waste
biodegradable, recyclable, inert & non- biodegradable waste is found in one bin, which become
very hard to manage. Following table shows Varity of waste material generally found in a
dustbin.

5 RECOMMENDATIONS
In order to encourage the citizens, municipal authority shall organize awareness program
for segregation of wastes and shall promote recycling or reuse of segregated materials.
The municipal authority shall undertake phased program to ensure community
participation in waste segregation.
For this purpose, regular meetings at quarterly intervals shall be arranged by the
municipal authorities with representatives of local resident welfare associations and non-
governmental organizations.
Transportation vehicles shall be so designed that multiple handling of wastes, prior to
final disposal, is avoided.

Municipal authorities shall adopt suitable technology or combination of such
technologies to make use of wastes so as to minimize burden on land fill.

A framework is required which is properly channelized in an adequate manner for the
Janakpuri West(A-Block).
5.1 Garbage Collection Procedure
Municipal Corporation of Delhi is responsible for collecting the garbage from different areas of
Janakpuri, which is collecting this garbage in regular manner. Janakpuri is a planned area thus
houses, shops, markets, offices, hospitals, factories major sources of garbage producers are
located at specific areas. There are numbers of big dust bins in several areas of the city and
several blocks share each big dust bins. Garbage is accumulated in this bin from adjacent areas.
The main problem for the collectors is to segregate the dry waste or wet waste. Normally at the
domestic level, people not segregate the waste due to lack of knowledge or the poor facilities of
Municipal Corporation. Firstly, the environmental education and public awareness is required for
segregate the waste.
People should make two separate bins, one for dry waste and other one is for wet waste. Door to
door service for garbage collection should be there. While collecting the waste, collector has
already known the bins ingredients, so he will put them separately.
Moreover, people should use the organic waste and recyclable waste as their own purpose and
reuse it in a manner. So, the quantity of garbage will low automatically and only 20% of waste
will be gone to the landfill areas.

Figure 5-2 (AUTHOR) GARBAGE COLLECTION








5.2 Transportation of Garbage
Collected garbage is transported to the disposal areas in specific manner. It starts from small
dumper and ends into big dust bins. Among the collected garbage, both degradable and non-
degradable wastes are present. It is alarming that several plastic products are dumped into the
dust bins. Several types of vehicles are used for transporting garbage to disposal sites which are
as follows:
i) Tri cycle cart
ii) Tractor
iii) Tipper Truck
Around six tri cycle carts should be provided in each block for collection of garbage from door
to door. But in market area extra two tri cycle carts should be provided. One tipper truck and one
tractor should provide in each block. Tipper truck and tractor both should giving four trips from
a block. One truck can carry 65 bins and one tri cycle cart can carry 8 bins. Eight people should
provide in the truck and five people are provided in the tractor. The tractors and dumpers
carrying waste should not cover or partially covered during the journey and waste tends to spill
on the roads. The loading and unloading of waste should be done through manual as well as
mechanical system.

5.3 Disposal of Waste
Normally the collected garbage is disposed in specific site and garbage is recycled where it is
possible. Though Janakpuri is a satellite township but all garbage is disposed into Narela,
Bhalswa and G.T. Karnal By pass area without treatment and recycling. So till now there is no
recycling procedure of garbage according to the normal specification i.e. Municipal Solid Waste
(Management & Handling) Rules 2000 of solid waste treatment.
