There are different sweepers employed in street sweeping and
primary waste collection in each city. Each sweeper is responsible for the
daily cleansing of a fixed area, usually a street including all side lanes.
Domestic solid waste is usually thrown on the streets directly or in plastic
bags from where road sweepers collect it into heaps. These waste are then
transported by hand-cart trolley to the nearby open dumps or to bins, or
directly by tractor trolley to the out-skirt of the cities. The road sweepers are
equipped with a broom, pan, favda (spade/showel), hand-carts, panji (small
pointed hand-rake), gayti (pointed small spade to clean road-side open
drains) and buckets. The waste from street cleansing is collected in
wheelbarrows and thereafter; it is dumped into roadside bins or at open
dumping space along with household waste. Municipal workers collect waste
from collection points (open dumping spaces or bins) into various vehicles
including tractors and bull carts and haul it to disposal sites. In some cases,
the workers collect the MSW from the collection points using chabra
(wooden baskets) and transfer it into the vehicles manually. Normally, bull
carts make only one or two trips a day to the final disposal site; a tractor
makes two or three trips per day whereas refuse collectors/dumper placers
make four trips. Finally recycling and reuse takes place by recycling units in
different cities. Recycling is related to processing of a waste item into usable
forms. The concept of recycling and reuse is well embedded in India largely
due to prevailing socio-economic conditions and partly due to traditional
practices. In India some cities have become a hub for recycling activities as
considerable amounts of recyclable materials also come from adjoining
towns and villages. Recycling industry mainly process paper, plastic, glass
and metals. But recycling is not a solution to all problems. It is not a solution
to managing every kind of waste material. For many items recycling
technologies are unavailable or unsafe. In some cases, cost of recycling is too
high. Recycling forms a big part of informal sector engaged in solid waste
management. Waste recycling has, in fact, both organized and unorganized
sections. The lower segments working as waste and dump-pickers, itinerant
waste buyers, and small traders come under the unorganized segment, whilethe big traders, wholesalers and manufacturers come under the organized
segment of the waste-recycling sector.
