Abstract:- The growing lifestyle of the human being has placed the lots of pressure on the environment resulting imbalanced ecosystem. The imbalanced ecosystem is mainly caused by inappropriate and vast use of the available natural resources. Also most of the countries are facing the problem of environmental issues due to the solid waste generation. Though the solid waste management is the first priority for the overall development of any country, but unfortunately it has given the less importance than any other issues. And also the concern towards the solid waste management as an integral part of the sustainable development has increased. Therefore it is very necessary to prepare a good framework for the solid waste management. By separation of waste, it will be easy to reduction, recycle and composting of the solid waste. Also the public awareness is very important for the current situations of the solid waste management. Especially awareness programs should also be carried out for improvement of knowledge of solid waste management. And as the current environmental conditions are concerned solid waste management is the main priority which should be focused on.

Keywords:- Solid Waste, Pollution, Recycling, Management.

1. INTRODUCTION

Nearly 70% families dump waste on streets and remaining 30% burn their plastic in cooking stoves resulting in serious health hazards. Every family can generate 15 kilos of wet waste and 1kg of plastic waste every month. Consuming plastics with jiggery and sugar, 30 cows and buffaloes die every year. For these awareness has been created in village during household surveys. For every household two dustbins is mandatory and separation should be at the source. A village committee has been formed to build and monitor the system by gram panchayat and employed anyone to collect garbage from the houses.

Within and year collection, segregation and storage of 750 kilos of plastic and 6000 kilos of wet waste can be processed into organic compost in composting pits on the outskirt of village. The waste collectors would get definite job role and income stream and will be paid monthly minimum wages and will increase by the value of work they are doing.

Construction of soak pits to collect surface run-off water. 1000 kilos of organic waste would be segregated and processed in 8 months generating revenue of 40,000 to 50,000 for village. Also plastic waste would generate revenue of 5000 every year. A developing country cannot afford wastage.

By correct utilization of solid waste a developing country like India will avail of the many benefits, for instance:-

a) Waste usage directly or indirectly contributes to economic development.

b) Waste utilisation generates employment opportunities.

c) United solid wastes produce environmental hazards by spreading diseases and inflicting air and pollution.

d) Waste utilization helps to get several helpful products that are the fundamental necessities of life.

2. LITERATURE REVIEW

2.1 Ashish R. Mishra, Shweta A. Mishra, Anurag V. Tiwari Solid Waste Management Case Study

Solid waste management is the term that is referred to the collection and the disposal of the solid waste. According to the paper solid waste is nothing but the useless, unwanted and discarded material which generated by our day to day regular activities. This paper refers the case study done in the Yavatmal district for the solid waste management.

(2)

This paper briefly explained the whole procedure of the solid waste management i.e. from collection, classification and the disposal of the solid waste.

2.2 Dr. Raveesh Agarwal, Mona Chaudhary, Jayveer Singh Waste Management Initiatives in India for Human Well Being

There are few certain things in human life that nobody can stop them to take place, those are death, change and waste. But the better management will help ourselves to face those things. Every living being has the right to have the clean environment. Maintaining a healthy and clean environment can full fill this right. According to the paper the waste is defined as the any material which is not needed to its manufacturer, owner and processor is waste. This paper refers the study of current methods which are carried out for the proper solid waste management initiatives carried out for human wellbeing. This paper has also suggested the improved methods for waste management practices in India.

2.3 M.S. Kadam, S.S. Sarawade Study and Analysis of Solid Waste Management Challenges and Option for Treatment (Indian Villages)

Solid waste management has become a wide problem not only in the Indian urban areas but also in the rural areas now a day. The maximum waste is generated mainly due to the industrialisation in both areas. Waste generated from both i.e. urban and rural areas creates a major problem to the various environmental pollution like air pollution, water pollution, soil pollution. Now a day it is observed that the solid waste is not only the problem of the urban areas but also the rural areas are also got much more covered in it.

So this paper has concentrated on the recognition of the solid waste problems and also the treatment regarding the solid waste management.

2.4 Tapas Kumar Ghatak Muncipal Solid Waste Management in India: A Few Unaddressed Issues

Municipal solid waste rules 2000 has been implemented in India from the last 15 years. Though they are implemented from last 15 years it there are a lot unaddressed issues which are required to give attention and address them with respective implementation of the rules. The overall solid waste management is not easy and therefore the unfocused areas also need to be focused. This will not only lead to proper solid waste management but also the refers to the good and healthy environment. So this paper has covered those unaddressed issues and focused to address them which will help to proper solid waste management.

2.5 Vijay Kumar, Dr. R. K. Pandit Problems of Solid Waste Management in Indian Cities Solid waste includes both the organic and inorganic materials. Solid waste management is a procedure which starts from the collection of the solid waste from the primary source and ends at the disposal of that solid waste hygienically so that it can’t effect the surrounding environment and the community. As per the Municipal Solid Waste Rule 2000, solid waste management is the primary function of the urban local bodies but unfortunately the solid waste management has given the last priority. The solid waste management in India is very inefficient and old techniques of the waste management are still used rather than the new technologies. This paper has focused on the problems for the waste management from the very primary source to the large source and has given the solutions for those problems.

3. WASTE MANAGEMENT CHALLENGES IN THE VILLAGE ENVIRONMENT

Traditionally, waste in rural India was managed well within the environment’s assimilative

(3)

• Lack of responsibility, action and applied resources by local Panchayats, who are legally responsible for providing for the collection, storage and disposal of waste in the villages.

• Lack of waste disposal infrastructure

• The widespread practice of keeping private spaces very clean, but using public spaces as dumping areas for waste.

• Perceptions that waste management work is of low value and low status, and therefore is not a priority.

• Organic wastes used in fields are often contaminated with plastics, hazardous wastes such as dry cell batteries, and medical wastes.

• Limited awareness that there is a solid waste problem, and general apathy towards making positive changes

While these problems are common to most of India, Government resources to provide solutions are usually directed to urban environments, where higher population densities and rapid urbanisation creates more urgent situations. Rural areas receive little attention, despite the reality that approximately 75% of Indians are living in rural village environments.

4. METHODOLOGY 4.1 Smart Dustbins

Most of the cities, towns and villages in India are not well designed to facilitate the suitable garbage collection methods. Common Public dustbins are filling over with the garbage and no one is concerned to clear them up as and when they get completely packed with overflowing garbage. Keeping in view of this big problem, it will be a good suggestion to do something to deal with this unmanaged waste and from this, the concept of ‘Smart Dustbin’

came out.To design a “Smart Dustbin” which is a GSM enabled bin which automatically detects the garbage level and sends message to respective municipal authorities updating the status of the bin.

Smart Dustbin- Step 1

• When any object comes close to the sensing area, the lid will open automatically.

Smart Dustbin- Step 2

• When a dustbin gets full, a message will be sent to the municipal corporation.

Benefits to the Village

• Overflowing of dustbins can be stopped.

• The overflowing and cleaning of smart bins will be continuously monitored and effectively managed thus making clean and empty bins available to common people.

• Economically Effective technique if once implemented successfully.

• It also intends at building a clean as well as green surroundings 4.2 Smart Compost Bin

Smart compost bin is a plastic bin of capacity 2000 litres. It is double wall insulated with polystyrene against cold weather. It has a base with reservoir to collect its own liquid organic fertilizer.

5. CONCLUSION

In the current research we have studied the main problems in managing solid waste is incompliance, negligence of the management body and local residents, irregular waste collection and it’s proper segregation. It is found that with increase in 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. Proper education and awareness is must to spread among commons and local residents must co-operate with management bodies. So the study has concluded that for proper solid waste management, waste should be separated from their basic source such as households, industries, shops and other basic sources and its proper segregation for the economic growth of the village.
