Design and Operation of Solid Waste Management in Chennai for Efficient Environmental, Health and Safety

Solid Waste Management (SWM) is a sorted-out procedure of capacity, gathering, transportation, preparing and transfer of strong decline residuals in a built clean landfill. It is an incorporated procedure containing a few accumulation strategies, differed transportation equipments, capacity, recuperation components for recyclable material, decrease of waste volume and amount by techniques, for example, Composting and Landfill. In this project, design of Landfill and Composting units for MM Nagar Municipality which comes under Ward Number 14 was considered. Location of the unit is near to MM Nagar. The dimension of Landfill unit is 810 × 1010 m and we require 54 windrows for composting waste. After collecting preliminary data from MM Nagar about population and amount of waste generated per person, we did characterisation of waste and from the results we concluded that 70% of the waste generated is bio-degradable and 30% is non bio-degradable. Bio-degradable waste can be separated into recyclable (40%) and composting (30%). Non-bio-degradable waste will go into Landfill. The Implementation of Municipal solid Waste (MSW) Management is an important component of the Government of Indias "Swachh Bharat Mission" (SBM). Solid Waste Management is a required capacity of Municipal Corporations, Municipalities and other neighborhood bodies in India. Because of rise in populace, urbanization, change in way of life and utilization design the issue of strong waste administration in urban territories is expanding.
