Can it be framed around technology only?

For whom is the waste managed?

How can conflicting ideas and claims be dealt with

Who is responsible for planning the system and creating it?

Who operates it? Who maintains it? Who pays for it? Who uses it? Who owns it?

How do you manage a solid waste management system?

Nowadays we have to ask other important questions –

Which ones ?

Strategic planning of integrated MSWM

Strategic planning is a systematic process of

envisioning a desired future, and

translating this vision into broadly defined goals or objectives, and

a sequence of steps to achieve them.

Quantification of waste

Why?

What?

How?

http://www.iswa2012.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/garbage-india.jpg

Input for assessment of required capacities and services

Amount of waste generated within the municipality (per type / per day / per year)

Spatial distribution of waste generated

Composition of waste generated

Rough estimation as per average waste production and composition as a function of city and ward size

Identification and location of generators of specific wastes or bulk waste (commerce, institutions, hotels, restaurants, etc.)

Application of specific methods as described in MoUD technical manuals

Regional approach

What Is Regionalization ?

• Regionalization refers to bundling of the waste disposal needs of several towns/cities and tackling the problem of all of them through creation of one regional facility

• A partnership between Urban Local Bodies

Optimization of waste transfer – best practice example

Status quo• 70 square kilometres city

area;• 1000 tonnes of waste per

day;• landfill 40km east of the

city;• severe traffic congestions in

the city restricting the hours of collection.

• 125 trucks (plus standby vehicles),

• 125 drivers and • 500 loaders.• vehicle costs: 8,750,000 $• total staff: 625

Collection system requires:• 63 collection vehicles (plus standby

vehicles), • 63 drivers and • 250 loaders.

Transfer system requires: • 22 trucks, (plus standby vehicles),• 22 drivers and • 22 drivers’ assistants• vehicle costs: 6,230,000 $ • total staff: 379

Optimization of waste transfer – best practice example

Each SRS requires collection system:• 12 handcarts and tricycles collect 8 tonnes per day within a 0.5km radius of the STS (one crew).• 8 three-wheelers (1.5-cubic-metre Tuctucs) collect 40 tonnes per day within a 1.5km radius (one crew).• 5 3-cubic-metre tipping trucks collect 40 tonnes per day within a 3km radius (two crews) (each of the

above vehicles will require backup vehicles to allow for breakdowns)

Transfer vehicles for 12 STS requires: • Transfer vehicles: 12 work two shifts with 24 drivers and 24 assistants.• Handcarts and tricycles: 12 X 12 = 144 with 144 loaders.• Three-wheelers: 12 X 8 = 96 with 96 unskilled driver/loaders.• Small tippers: 60 with 60 drivers and 60 loaders.• Total labour requirements: 84 drivers and 324 unskilled workers.

Total requirements• vehicle costs: 3,088,000 $• total staff: 372

Option 2:12 small transfer stations

Management - General orientation / basic idea

The municipal authorities should make concerted efforts to inculcate among their officers and staff a sense of

pride in the work they do, and to motivate them to do their best to improve the

level of services in the city and the image of the municipal administration.

What is Management ?The Management Cycle

Citizens are responsible for Proper segregation of wastes at

source Avoid littering of streets; Delivery of wastes

Municipality is responsible for: Waste management from collection to

disposal Sensitization of citizens for 3R and overall

waste management;

Information and data management

There is a common rule in management: ‘If you want to

manage, measure’!

Why?

(1) You have to know what is happening at any time(2) You need to recognize and address deficiencies(3) You need to have an idea on future requirements(4) You must be able to answer questions of stakeholders and

supervisors

Monitoring and improvement of performance - Why SLBs are useful for ULBs?

o SLBs help to institutionalise performance management

o SLBs help ULBs to proof their performance as principal elected institution for city self-governance

o Benchmarking with other cities facilitates competitive environment for continuous improvement

o Performance data at sub-ULB level are useful for appropriate decisions

o Help local decision-makers identify gaps, plan and prioritise improvement measures

o Make it possible to link decision-making on financial allocations to service outcomes

o Provide framework that can underlie contracts/agreements with service providers

o Enhance accountability to customers for service delivery levels

o Enable identification and transfer of best practice

Module 4: Basics

Inclusion of stakeholders – Why is it important?

(1) Solid waste management is a shared responsibility

(2) Participation creates ownership and means shared responsibility for the strategy and its joint undertaking

(3) Participants bring information for the strategy, ensuring that it is based on a common understanding of purpose, problems and solutions

(4) Participation is the most effective way of communicating information on which the strategy is based, its goals and tasks to be undertaken;

(5) Participation by stakeholder groups is critical for decision making. The result will be a realistic strategy with a broad base of knowledge, understanding and commitment from the groups involved

Module 4: Basics

Inclusion of stakeholders – Where and when is it important?

(1) Implementation of the 3R approach

(2) Segregation at source and (secondary) storage of biodegradable / non-biodegradable wastes, recyclables etc. at source

(3) Community storage facilities and collection form there in flats, multi-storied buildings, societies, commercial complexes, institutions, etc.

(4) Door-to-door collection or collection via community bins, collection of recyclables, HHW, etc.

(5) Stop of public littering

(6) Introduction of user charges / fees, understanding need to pay for services;

Tools to organize and manage participation – stakeholder analysis1) stakeholder landscape2) analyse interests of

stakeholders:are they in line with the project or controversial ?

3) possible impacts of dissonances, differences in interests

4) develop strategy for management of stakeholders according to their role / influence, interest and potential conflicts

Tools to organize and manage participation - examples (1)

Group meeting After an opening presentation, the group is broken into smaller groups to discuss an issue or complete a specific task. Summaries of small group discussions and an open comment period may follow.

Focus group discussion

Small discussion group led by a facilitator who draws out in-depth stakeholder input on specific questions. Normally, several focus groups are held, and participants can be chosen randomly or to approximate a subset of the community.

Interview Face-to-face or telephone interaction with stakeholders conducted by the agency or by a third-party representative.

Field trip Trip to specific location organized so that participants can match their mental images to real, on-the-ground conditions. Participants may be asked to express their reactions verbally or in writing.

Tools to organize and manage participation - examples (2)

Open house Event in which the public is invited to drop in at any time during an announced period. Event includes staffed booths or stations on specific topics and may precede a public meeting.

Public hearing Formal, single meeting where stakeholders present official statements and positions, and those ideas are recorded into a formal record for delivery to the agency.

Poll or survey Written or oral lists of questions to solicit community impressions about issues at a specific moment in time. Polls and surveys can be administered in person, or via the telephone or Internet.

Gender aspects of MSWM

What are gender related key issues in MSWM?• Women and children are prime handlers of garbage in

households• Services and equipment are designed by men, with other

priorities in mind• Women and children are often more exposed to SW health

hazards than men• Women are key to improving SWM of family and community

(1)Women and men look at waste from different perspectives.

(2)Recycling and reusing of wastes have critical gender dimensions:a. on generation sideb. on recycling side

Module 4: Basics 40

Gender aspects of MSWMRoles and responsibilities of women in waste management of households

• Women decide what is useful and what is waste, and handle the waste• Women know the waste disposal places in their neighborhoods• The boundary between household and community is a gender

boundary: Waste collectors, as well as the city leadership, who are generally

male, tend not to understand the interests and needs of women in relation to the collection of household waste, e.g.: • They may complain when the waste is not set out properly, not taking

into account that the women often cannot really leave their homes to put it in its proper place;

• Times for waste collection may not have been set with any attention to the schedules and responsibilities of the women who will bring the waste to be collected.

• Containers which are appropriate for storage in the home may not be acceptable to the collectors, etc.

• Storage bins may not be easy to handle for women

Module 4: Basics 41

Gender aspects of MSWMWomen as workers in waste management

• Services and equipment are designed by men• Women workers are usually paid less• Women entrepreneurs and workers are underprivileged, their

access to credits is even worse than for men• Lack of interest, political will or weak sense of importance in

the community of decision makers to address issues of women workers in any cogent manner
