In the 52 towns with solid waste generation of less than 50 tonnes / day
an action plan has been drafted which proposes to organise and aim for
100 percent house to house collection as well as a massive awareness campaign.
Segregation of waste is to be encouraged. Conveniently designed storage
facilities have to be set up and maintained in a hygienic state. Wastes
should be processed by composting. Suitable landfill sites need to be
identified for this purpose. Vermicomposting movement will provide great
succour for the already pressurised municipal infrastructure. Non power
intensive simple sand bed based technologies need to be introduced for
sewage treatment.
The already over burdened urban infrastructure needs to understand and
strengthen the 'Organic' linkage between rainwater harvesting, multiculture
plantation and vermicomposting.
