industrial purpose after giving appropriate treatment and thereby economizing and saving on the
use of water
Minimization of adverse effect of pollution by selecting suitable locations for the establishment of
new industrial projects

Solid Waste Management
All the municipal authorities are required to arrange for collection, segregation, transportation and
suitable disposal of municipal wastes from the municipal towns/cities according to the MSW (M & H)
Rules 2000
The Government of Gujarat has constituted a Nodal Agency, Gujarat Urban Development Company Ltd
(GUDC) for the development of infrastructure for treatment, transportation and disposal

As of now, there are 159 Nagarpalikas, 8 Municipal Corporations, 4 Notified Areas and 1 Urban Development
Authority in the State of Gujarat

The concept of common secured landfills is adopted for the treatment and disposal of the Municipal Solid
Waste generated in the towns and cities
Initiatives
The GUDC has divided Gujarat into four different regions and identified 28 clusters for Regional Landfill site
for different local bodies located in Gujarat

GUDC has constructed 93 vermi compost plants out of that 86 vermi compost plants are in operation and 7
vermi compost plants are under construction/ at commissioning stage

As per the data collected, about 8336 MT per day municipal solid waste is being generated in the state of Gujarat

Benefits
Reduction in use of mined mineral natural materials such as
limestone, bauxite, iron ore, etc. and non-renewable fossils such as
coal

Lower emissions of greenhouse gases by replacing the use of fossil

fuels with materials that would otherwise have to be incinerated

Maximize the resources recovery in the waste

Reduce the economical burden along with savings of natural

resources as waste gets consumed for energy recovery and as
supplementary resource

Reduce the health hazard associated with the disposal of hazardous

waste

Helps society for sustainable Eco-Environmental development by

using waste as supplementary resource and alternative fuel
