    This document discusses waste management and disposal issues at the Ghazipur landfill in Delhi, India. It notes that 700 trucks dump 3,000 metric tons of garbage there daily. Two young rag pickers, ages 10 and 12, work at the landfill without protection and face health risks. The landfill violates rules by being located near homes and places of worship. Experts suggest improving waste segregation and recycling efforts, and following better practices used in countries like Sweden and Sri Lanka.

    Waste Disposal

    Waste Disposal
    By Taukheer & Rudresh
    What is Waste Management?

    Waste management is the processes of


    managing waste from its source to its final
    disposal. And in this, a few activities are
    involved.
    Ghazipur
    Ghazipur
    Landfill
    Located in the way to Ghazipur
    from central Delhi.
    Established in the year 1984.

    700 trucks dump 3,000 metric


    tons (3 lakh KG) of garbage everyday
    from 4.5 million people living in East
    Delhi.
    A steady steam of smoke will be
    visible as decomposing waste
    generates the highly combustible
    methane gas.
    The Two Young Vulnerable
    10 year old Jeevan & 12 year old Devender were the two
    rag pickers. They were picking, sorting and selling
    waste in the Ghazipur landfill for years. And they had
    no protection of gloves or masks while facing the
    mound of discarded waste. Therefore, they are more
    vulnerable to infections and illnesses like most of other
    rag pickers.
    “Often we cut ourselves on bits of discarded glass or
    metal,” said Jeevan. But they didn’t seem to show any
    hatred kind of feeling towards the waste which helps
    them to earn their living.
    The Violation Of Rules
    The Municipal Solid Waste rules
    state that, landfills should be ‘away
    from habitation clusters’.

    But the rule was violated at the


    Ghazipur landfill, where the
    markers, houses and places of
    worship are located.
    The Flawed System
    The activists feel that, we follow an
    imperfect system of waste disposal and
    management because, these dump sites
    catch fire easily and are difficult to
    extinguish.
    Instead of making huge mounds of waste,
    they suggest to compress it and put it
    under the soil cover which could erase the
    fear of pollution as well.
    The Suggestions
    “We need to learn from Sweden, which is a zero waste country. We need to learn from
    countries like Sri Lanka, which is segregating its waste, or Bhutan where everyone is
    conscious to not pollute their land,” said Swati Sambyal, Centre for Science and Environment.

    As there is a need to organise awareness programmes for citizens to encourage segregation


    and recycling, most activists push for segregation at source and feel a strict set of laws and
    fear of penalty is needed to make people comply.
    Swachh Bharat Mission
     Swachh Bharat Abhiyan(Clean India
    Mission).
     Officially launched on 2nd October 2014
    (Gandhi’s 145th birth anniversary).
     India’s largest cleanliness drive.
     Aim to achieve Swachh Bharat by 2019
    (Gandhi’s 150th birth anniversary).
     People came forward.
     The website “MyCleanIndia”.
     Tremendous support from people.
    Results From The Clean India
    Mission
     The Maharashtra’s Navlewadi village have
    now got a 35,000-litre water tank.
     Villagers of Thrissur’s Puzhakkal (Kerala)
    got inspired.
     The village of Chauras on the banks of the
    river Narmada.
     The women and children were helping to
    create awareness on cleanliness.
     Includes elimination of defecation
    (Excretion of waste).

     In the Jehanabad District of Bihar, nearly 14,000 women came together to clean their surroundings and
    convincing villagers to build toilets.
     The residents of Rajasthan’s Chittorgarh Bhilwara and Udaipur districts now have individual toilets.
     People together built 3,000 toilets in Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu.
     And in Haryana, the importance of toilets was spread through billboards, posters & radio.
     And inviting people into this drive, Swachhta Ahiyan became a National event.
     This was actually Mahatma Gandhi’s dream.
    Thank You!
