Figure 3.32: infrastructural Gaps: Bin Capacities
Figure 3.32 shows that most of the wards are sufficient in terms of bin capacities for all the three
waste projection scenarios.
3.7.3 Institutional Capacities, arrangements & Human
Resources Related
As discussed earlier, separate institutions / organizations / generators have roles based on the type of
the solid waste being generated in the city. While the MSW is managed primarily by the PMC all
other forms of regulated solid waste have their management vested on the generators. In case of
BMW a service provider for the common waste is available in the city that caters to the maximum of
the BMW generators. For the management of hazardous solid waste the responsibility has been
vested on the generator of the waste along with the operator of the treatment and disposal facilities
where such wastes are taken. For the C&D and E-waste no clear institutional framework exists at
present. The institutional capacities and human resource gaps in some of the key institutions are
presented below.
Maharashtra Pollution Control Board
The MPCB is the authority for the implementation and monitoring of compliance of all the rules
pertaining to the management of all the solid waste management in the city. While MPCB has
efficiently implemented the Hazardous Waste rules, the MSW and BMW rule implementation has
gaps. The MSW rule has the implementation responsibility on the municipal authority which
themselves are constrained in terms of manpower, financial resources, expertise, etc. (discussed
elsewhere in this chapter) and therefore the MPCB has not been able to initiate action against the
board. In case of BMW, most generators do not take MPCB’s permission and therefore MPCB also
is unable to monitor such facilities. Besides due to the number of such facilities within the PMC area
the manpower requirement of MPCB is presently not adequate keeping in view the responsibilities
