BMC explores Indore for improved waste management

01 Feb 2024 CW Team

The two-day study tour is scheduled for February or March and will encompass junior supervisors and engineers from the BMC's SWM department. Throughout the tour, the participants will accumulate information on diverse facets of Indore's waste management system, encompassing 100% door-to-door waste collection, wet-dry garbage categorization and appropriate disposal, public sanitation, daily waste collection, waste handling, challenges of segregation, treatment projects, the role of sanitation workers, safety in garbage handling, community participation, and other vital elements.

Currently, the BMC encounters difficulties in managing the city's solid waste, with an average of 6,300 metric tonnes of waste being disposed of at the Kanjurmarg and Deonar dumping grounds in suburban Mumbai. Additionally, 750 to 800 metric tonnes of debris are disposed of at the Deonar dumping site. To confront these challenges, the BMC gathers and segregates solid waste at 949 centers and 47 dry waste sorting sites across the city.

Through an examination of Indore's triumphant waste management system, the BMC aims to embrace best practices and enhance its own waste management operations. Indore's sustained top ranking in the Swachh Survekshan underscores the efficacy of its waste management strategies, and the BMC aspires to replicate this success in Mumbai.

The BMC's tour to Indore signifies a constructive stride towards refining waste management in Mumbai. By assimilating experiences from Indore and incorporating successful practices, the BMC can strive to establish a more pristine and sustainable city environment for its residents.
