MANAGEMENT– Introduction
WASTE
• Article 5 of the Basel Convention [Ref 1]: “ ‘Wastes’ are
substances or objects which are disposed of or are intended to be
disposed of or are required to be disposed of by the provisions of
national law”.
(Basel Convention - Control of Transboundary Movements of
Hazardous Wastes and their Disposal, effective 5 May, 1992)
“Plastic waste” means any plastic discarded after use or after their intended
use is over
Construction & Demolition Waste
Waste from
Electrical &
Electronic
equipment
(WEEE)
“Bio-medical waste" means any waste, which is generated during the diagnosis,
treatment or immunization of human beings or animals or research activities
pertaining thereto or in the production or testing of biological or in health
camps
WASTE MANAGEMENT RULES BY MOEF&CC
17
Step 1 Segregation at source
1. Wastes from bulk waste generators and household waste generators (Wet, Dry and Hazardous)
2. Store street sweeping and silt separately and transport to waste disposal site through MRF
(Material Recovery Facility).
3. Store C&D waste separately as and when generated and handover to ULB representative
Step 2 Primary Collection Service
Collecting, lifting and removal of segregated solid waste from source
of its generation
Stream-1
Collect from the door step – Biodegradable (wet organic) waste, residual
recyclable and combustible wastes stored at households, shops and
establishments – In separate vehicles/compartments and deliver at the
respective processing facility through MRF.
Stream-2
Collect and transport separately inert waste such as street sweeping and silt
from the drain and take directly to waste disposal site through MRF without
mixing with waste collected from the doorstep.
Stream-3
Construction and demolition waste to be collected separately and utilized for
making bricks, paver blocks, aggregate or any other useful product in terms of
C&D Waste Management Rules, 2016
19
Modus-operandi for Door to Door collection

Step 3 : Secondary Storage
Temporary containment of solid waste after collection at secondary
waste storage depots or MRFs or bins for onward transportation of
the waste to the processing or disposal facility
21
1.1 m3 or Large
Waste Storage Depots
covered containers
could preferably be
used for temporary
storage of waste.
22
Step 4: Transfer and Transport of waste
• Use covered vehicles which synchronize with primary collection/secondary storage system
Biochemical Conversion
(i) Composting
(ii) Biomethanation
Thermal Conversion
(i) Combustion
(ii) Gasification
(iii) Pyrolysis
Composting
Composting is a controlled, aerobic (oxygen-required) process that converts organic
materials into a nutrient-rich soil amendment or much through natural decomposition.
The end product is compost – a dark, crumbly, earthy-smelling material
Biomethanation
Solid waste is treated in closed vessels where, in the absence of oxygen microorganisms
break down the organic matter. into a stable residue, and generate a methane-rich biogas
in the process. This biogas can then be used as a source of renewable energy.

Pyrolysis
Pyrolysis process consists of both simultaneous and successive reactions when carbon-
rich organic material is heated in a non-reactive atmosphere. Simply speaking, pyrolysis
is the thermal degradation of organic materials in the absence of oxygen. Thermal
decomposition of organic components in the waste stream starts at 350°C–550°C and
goes up to 700°C–800°C in the absence of air/oxygen.

Step 6: Final Disposal of Waste at Engineered Landfills
Only rejects from the treatment plants and inert waste to be land filled
Precious land must be saved and bio degradable, recyclable wastes and C&D
waste should not be allowed to be landfilled
