vi MOHIT GUPTA M ARCH I SEM F/O ARCHITECTURE & EKISTICS, JMI, NEW DELHI 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.

2 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.

3 MOHIT GUPTA M ARCH I SEM F/O ARCHITECTURE & EKISTICS, JMI, NEW DELHI 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?

4 MOHIT GUPTA M ARCH I SEM F/O ARCHITECTURE & EKISTICS, JMI, NEW DELHI 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. Figure 2-1 RE-USE AND RECYCLING

5 MOHIT GUPTA M ARCH I SEM F/O ARCHITECTURE & EKISTICS, JMI, NEW DELHI 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 http://peopleagainstsingleuseplastic.blogspot.in/ CITY GARBAGE TREASURE OR WASTE 2013-14
6 MOHIT GUPTA M ARCH I SEM F/O ARCHITECTURE & EKISTICS, JMI, NEW DELHI 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. http://www.greenarth.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/May-Waste-generation-Top-10-cities.png CITY GARBAGE TREASURE OR WASTE 2013-14

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.

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.

12 MOHIT GUPTA M ARCH I SEM F/O ARCHITECTURE & EKISTICS, JMI, NEW DELHI 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.

13 MOHIT GUPTA M ARCH I SEM F/O ARCHITECTURE & EKISTICS, JMI, NEW DELHI 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%

14 MOHIT GUPTA M ARCH I SEM F/O ARCHITECTURE & EKISTICS, JMI, NEW DELHI 4 ISSUES 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.
15 MOHIT GUPTA M ARCH I SEM F/O ARCHITECTURE & EKISTICS, JMI, NEW DELHI 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. CITY GARBAGE TREASURE OR WASTE 2013-14
16 MOHIT GUPTA M ARCH I SEM F/O ARCHITECTURE & EKISTICS, JMI, NEW DELHI 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.

17 MOHIT GUPTA M ARCH I SEM F/O ARCHITECTURE & EKISTICS, JMI, NEW DELHI 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.
