City Development Plan for Vellakoil Municipality SMEC India Pvt Ltd Final Report TNUDP III 5.1.5 SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT i) Existing status Vellakoil Municipality generates 14 MT of solid waste. Out of 21 wards, 8 wards in the town are privatized (SHG) for solid waste collection. The solid waste generated in the town is collected and segregated at source and dumped in the compost yard (3.50 acres) at Soriyankinathupalayam. An income of Rs.1000 per annum is generated through selling of the segregated recyclable waste. The details on solid waste management are given below: Total waste generation per day - 14 MT Frequency of collection - daily Collection efficiency - 85% (12 MT) Collection points - 40 Push cart - 49 Tri cycle - 5 Tipper Lorries - 2 Tractor - 1 Power tillers - 2 ii) Issues • Absence of scientific waste management and disposal • Inadequate sanitary workers and supervisors – of the 159 sanctioned sanitary workers, only 24 workers are available. • The existing compost yard is not provided with adequate infrastructure facilities • Easy access and availability of open lands has led to negligent dumping and unsanitary conditions. iii) Demand Assessment Currently, 14 MT of solid waste is generated with a per capita waste generation of 300 grams per day. In future years assuming the per capita generation of solid waste in the town at 400 gm/day, there will be corresponding addition of 30% to 40% in solid waste generation. Solid Waste Management is one of the principal sectors of expenditure in Urban Local Bodies. Hence, there is a need for scientific management of solid waste to cope with future demand. Of the Municipal waste in Tamil Nadu, 40 - 60% of the waste is biodegradable. Of this, on conversion, nearly 30% by weight forms the manure. Incidentally, the manure generated from Municipal waste is found to be richer in NPK values compared to the one available in the market. This has resulted in producing better yield of agricultural products both in quantity and quality. iv) Proposals The improvements proposed towards solid waste management are as follows. Integrated Solid Waste Management is the application of suitable techniques, technologies and management programs covering all types of solid wastes from all sources to achieve the twin objectives of waste reduction and effective management of waste still produced after waste reduction. Municipal solid waste management involves the application of Integrated Solid Waste Management to Municipal waste. 23

Disposal The inter-relationship between the functional elements is given in Fig 5.1 Fig 5.1 Functional Elements of a Municipal Solid Waste Management System The objective of solid waste management is to reduce the quantity of solid waste disposed into land by recovery of materials and energy form the waste. This in turn results in lesser requirement of raw material and energy as inputs for technological processes. 1. The municipality must focus on revenue enhancement by privatizing of waste management of the following components: a. Primary collection b. Transfer to collection points c. Transfer to compost yard d. Segregation of waste and option of i. Selling scraps/recyclable waste. ii. Treatment of biodegradable waste iii. Transfer to identified regional land fill sites e. Compost yard management and sale of manure. 2. The management of biodegradable waste as a revenue generating activity may involve, 24
