Actual Collection Efficiency<br />
As a part of the extensive survey conducted for Ghole Road ward, in order to assess the real-time<br />
data, observations were made at 18 bin locations. Single day observations were made at each of these<br />
locations capturing the different collection timings. The observations were made at representative<br />
locations covering different socio-economic groups. The summary of the observations made at these<br />
locations have been shown in Figures 3.19-22. The Figure 3.22 which depicts the overall change in<br />
the waste collection scenario over the timings over the day reveals the poor mechanism as well as the<br />
ad hoc methods followed by PMC officials during data collection. Most of the 18 locations observed<br />
showed increase or no change in the bin capacity, thereby suggesting the poor collection efficiency.<br />
Waste from Bulk Generators<br />
There is separate collection system employed by PMC for the collection of waste from Bulk<br />
Generators like Hotels and restaurants, Wedding halls. Around 2300 premises are catered by this<br />
collection facility. Hotels are required to segregate the waste at source and store in Green and Black<br />
bags. The food waste is collected in Biodegradable plastic bags. Around 250 MT of food waste is<br />
collected from these premises daily from the whole of the city.<br />
The bulk generators of waste also include vegetable markets. However there is no separate system<br />
presently working for separate collection of the waste from vegetable markets with one exception.<br />
The waste from Mahatma Phule Mandai, the largest market yard of Pune, is being collected separately.<br />
The solid waste generated from fish, mutton market, chicken shops and slaughter house are collected<br />
separately to some extent, and however no formal system is in place all over the city. The dead<br />
animals are collected by private contractor and disposed off in the caracas utilization plant at Urali<br />
Devachi.<br />
