Urban areas face growing challenges with waste generation due to increasing population and industrial activities. Improper waste disposal leads to environmental pollution, health hazards, and resource loss. This project aims to implement effective waste management and recycling solutions to reduce pollution, promote sustainable practices, and improve urban living conditions.
Purpose of the Project:
The project seeks to establish a systematic waste management system in urban areas that encourages segregation, recycling, and sustainable disposal methods, benefiting both the community and the environment.
Objectives:
- To reduce solid waste accumulation in targeted urban areas.
- To promote recycling of paper, plastics, metals, and organic waste.
- To raise public awareness about proper waste management practices.
- To develop a model that can be replicated in other cities.
Methodology:
| Step | Activity | Tools/Equipment | Expected Outcome |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Survey urban areas for waste generation | Questionnaires, Field survey | Identify high-waste zones |
| 2 | Implement waste segregation at source | Bins for organic, recyclable, and non-recyclable waste | Organized waste collection |
| 3 | Set up recycling units for plastics, paper, and metals | Shredders, Balers, Recycling machines | Recycled materials ready for reuse |
| 4 | Conduct public awareness programs | Workshops, Pamphlets, Social media campaigns | Community participation increased |
| 5 | Monitor and evaluate impact | Monthly reports, Data analysis | Reduction in waste volume and improved recycling |
| Expense Item | Cost (INR) |
