Regarding source of segregation each and every house hold is instructed by the<br />
municipality to maintain separate basket for segregation of waste as degradable<br />
and non-degradable. The residents are using separate baskets for segregation of the<br />
waste and keep the baskets in front of their houses for easy handling by the<br />
conservancy worker. The present mechanism of Solid waste management exhibits<br />
that the waste is segregated in to degradable (other than plastics) and non-<br />
degradable (plastics) waste. Due to construction works in the site, there is no<br />
production of manure which takes place at the compost yard site. The municipality<br />
already privatized wards for solid waste collection system and composting activities<br />
in the town.<br />

8.2.4.3 TRANSPORTATION FACILITIES<br />
The waste collected from the various sources are transported through and taken<br />
outside the town and dumped in the available open land. The existing compost yard<br />
is not provided with adequate infrastructure facilities such as Weigh Bridge, Waste<br />
segregation platform; mechanical sewer and<br />
security. The fleet of vehicles for transporting waste is<br />
not adequate. And lack of waste collection system<br />
to achieve segregation at source leads to non-<br />
retrievable collection of the probable reusable<br />
waste resources. The details of vechile used in the<br />
municipality is given in the table 8.13<br />
