Following- SWM rules and regulations

• This is the municipal waste collection organization in Telangana which

collect waste from the city daily and use this Jawahar nagar dumping yard
for dumping the waste .

• This area came in limelight when the people living nearby faced problem
by the over filling and the placement of the dumping area.

• This incident throws light on the failure of the organization for proper
dumping of waste.

ENVIRONMENTAL CHANGES OCCURED

• Gradual change in the green cover surrounding the dumping yard

• Lakes were present in the surrounding landuse before but now they were
not present
ISSUES
◦ LOCATION
◦ Dumping yard is at higher elevation from residential area

◦ WIND DIRECTION & PUBLIC HEALTH

◦ Direction of wind from land fill site is towards south west direction which
is on the side of residential
◦ area which is negative impact on public health, this direction of wind helps
harmful air pollutants
◦ released from site to easily move to wards settlement's which creates major
effects on public health .
◦ Direction of wind in site area acts as driver which eases flow of pollutants
towards residential area.
◦ • The smoke and the dusty fog blows in the direction of the RGK .
◦ • The soil pollution is making the area in to barren lands.
◦ • The lakes surrounding the study area are highly polluted due to dump
yard.
◦ BAD ODOUR
◦ Bad Smell from the dumping yard comes to around 2 Kms radius.
◦ GROUNDWATER AND SURFACEWATER CONTAMINATION
In rainy season water & waste from dump yard flow towards
settlements and ground water gets contaminated in surrounding area
due to Leachate in dump yard

FIRES AND EXPLOSIONS – AIR POLLUTION

Fires and explosions occur at waste treatment facilities because of

improper storage or handling of materials.
Large amount of heat is generated in wasted dumped which results
in sudden explosion and also leading to air
pollution in that area.

CONCLUSION
The collection bins must be have a large enough capacity to
accommodate 20% more than the expected waste generation in the
area.
Municipal authorities should maintain the storage facilities to avoid
unhygienic &
unsanitary condition.
It is advisable to move from open dumping to sanitary land filling in
a phased manner
WASTE SEGREGATION AT MY HOME
SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT
Waste management is the
1-segregation of waste
2-storage collection
3-transport and handling
4-recycling
5-disposal and monitoring of waste materials
Segregation of waste
At my house we have now adopted two separate dustbin one for
wet(bio-degradable) waste and another for dry waste(recyclable waste).
We don’t use separate dustbin for paper as we keep paper aside for
“Raddiwala” or “scrap dealer”

Storage collection
Then this waste is collected by the munciple authority’s waste
collector every morning.
It is very helpful for them if we segregate our waste otherwise
they have to do it by themselves.
WASTE HANDLING AND TRANSPORT
◦ Waste handling and separation involves activities associated with
waste management until the waste is placed in storage containers for
collection.
◦ Handling also involve the movement of loaded containers to the
point of collection.
◦ Waste is transferred from a
smaller collection vehicle to
larger transport equipment
COLLECTION
Collection
- House-to-house collection
- Collection from the public bins

RECYCLING
Recycling refers to the collection and refuse of waste materials such
as empty beverage container.
Materials for recycling may be collected separately from general waste
using dedicated bins.
 METHOD OF DISPOSAL
◦ 1. Dumping
◦ 2. Sanitary Landfill
◦ 3. Incineration
◦ 4. Composting
Dumping Incineration
◦ 5. Manure pits
◦ 6. Burial

Manure pits Burial

Sanitary Landfill Composting

CONCLUSION:

It is found that with increase in the global population and the rising
demand for food and other essentials, there has been a rise in the
amount of waste being generated daily by each household.

Waste that is not properly managed, especially excreta and other

liquid and solid waste from households and the community, are a
serious health hazard and lead to the spread of infectious diseases.
