Figure 3.13: Percentage Segregation and Chakachak Index
Hotel waste is segregated into three different categories as, bio-degradable waste, non-biodegradable
but recyclable waste and non-recyclable waste. The percentage of waste segregation at various
sources in Pune is explained in Figure 3.14. Commercial establishments like hotels, wedding halls etc
contribute to waste segregation more than the residential units. Almost 80 % hotels are practicing
segregation. Slums contribute the least.
Figure 3.14: Waste segregation at Various Sources of MSW Generation 27
In areas where mixed waste is generated at the generators level, the segregation and separation is
predominantly done by rag pickers. The rag pickers segregate waste at various levels/ stages like at
door step collection, at Ghanta Trucks, community bins and also at disposal site. The extent of waste
collected by the rag-pickers at different levels can be shown in Figure 3.15.
