Strategic Action Plan - International Environmental Technology Centre

OPTIMISATION AND STRENGTHENING OF
MUNICIPAL SOLID WASTE (MSW) COLLECTION
SYSTEMS
Target:
‣ To suggest and investigate various methods for optimizing and strengthening of
the MSW Collection systems.
Lead Agency: Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) – Transport Department and Town
Planning Department
Support Agency: ISWM Cell, PMC and use the service of consultants, NGO’s, generators
and housing societies.
Location (Suggested): City wide – taken up for the entire city of Pune. GIS based models
can be prepared and implemented throughout Pune for properly defined collection systems.
Implementing may be done in phases based on the ward prioritization.
Description: PMC should use the services of a consultant to develop a model for optimized waste
collection systems. The consultant can investigate several waste management collection models
available and then shortlist the model which is most suitable for Pune city. The tracking of
the waste from source to the end disposal site can be done with the help of Geographic
Information System aided with Global positioning system. In GIS, as the work is carried in
layers, there are least chances of confusion or error and the system is capable enough to
coordinate between spatial and non spatial data.
Aspects of Route optimization: Various Aspects of route optimization are depicted in
Figure at the side. The figure depicts the various levels which decide route of a waste carrier
(shown in colored boxes) and the factors which need to be considered for efficient route
management (shown in white boxes).
Budget (Estimated): Rs. 10 Million
