More than half of the waste budget of Indian cities is typically spent
in collection alone (mainly on labour and fuel); still, the collection
rate remains low and the transport of waste inefficient. Spending on
other segments of the waste management chain such as appropriate
treatment, recovery, and disposal technologies and facilities requires
attention. Increased investment in basic collection services, the
transport of waste and cleaning up of dump sites is a starting point for
greening the waste sector.
Box 2.9: Integrated solid waste management in Guwahati,
Assam
Guwahati city has a characteristic low-lying topography and mountains on all sides,
which has created a bad situation for solid waste accumulation and management.
The situation is further worsened by floods every year. There is no proper system for
collection, transportation, disposal, and treatment processes for solid waste. In view
of this, the need was felt to adopt a scientific and integrated approach to tackle the
solid waste problem. The scope of the project was to structure and develop an end-to-
end integrated solid waste management system with a single private operator having
complete responsibility for the entire value chain starting from primary collection,
storage, transportation, processing and disposal. MSW was to be processed for energy
recovery before final disposal into the landfill site. Processing and disposal would be
developed at Boragaon and would consist of:
RDF plant to handle 500 TPD MSW – mixed MSW to be converted into Refuse
Derived Fuel (RDF) in the RDF plant.
Compost plant to handle 50 TPD of organic waste – Organic components of MSW
segregated during RDF process will be treated in the compost plant to produce manure.
Power plant – Power plant boiler will be fed with 180 TPD of RDF having a calorific
value in the range of 2,500–2,800 kcal/kg and 57 TPD of biomass, up to the limit laid
as per the MNRE Policy/ guidelines to use supplementary fuel for such plants as fuel
and will generate 6 MW of electricity.
The project also entails development and management of sanitary landfill.
The selected private operator was M/s Ramky Enviro Engineers Limited (REEL).
