Executive Summary As solid waste management is a significant area of infrastructure
and a fundamental requirement for sustaining cities, many
developed cities in India are working to change their current
waste management practices to what is known as a "zero waste
practice," which is a more effective and environmentally friendly
method.
Due to the economic opportunities and high quality of life offered
to residents, people are migrating from rural to urban areas at an
increasing rate, which causes cities to grow. Due to their fast
expansion and rising waste creation, overcrowded cities are
reducing the quality of urban life. It is difficult to change today's
overconsumption cities into zero-waste ones. Therefore, the goal
of this study is to understand the main forces behind waste
management as well as the possibilities, challenges, and
problems associated with change.
Since it is their primary responsibility to handle the rapidly
expanding amount of garbage the city produces, the Rajkot Local
Government will play a significant part in addressing these
issues. The main intent of this project was to explore how one
can plan to become ‘Zero Waste’ at the scale of the ward. Though
the initial approach was to develop the plan through on-ground
engagement processes.
This study provides towns with a strategic plan for processing
garbage locally and within wards, collecting recyclables and
residential waste at the zone level, and utilizing the existing
formal and informal private waste networks that exist in cities.
With a population of around 1.4 million and a municipal area of
162 sq. km, Rajkot is a Class B city. It may be applied to other
cities depending on their own local conditions and is based on the
current municipal borders and garbage dynamics of Rajkot.
We began to bring together stakeholders at the ward and city
levels, to understand waste management challenges at the ward
level. Through these discussions, it was found that there is a gap
at the ward level in the city and its formal communication to a
larger set of citizen volunteers who are eager to drive change in
their ward, related to Waste Management. As communicated the
proposed approach now has two main outputs:

1. Building an Excel-based ‘Zero Waste Wards -

Infrastructure Planning Tool’

2. Deriving the strategy to become a Zero Waste Ward

through documenting one ward in the city that has already
started moving towards becoming Zero Waste.

1. Overview Of Sector Solid waste management (SWM) has emerged as one of the
Developing countries are increasingly experiencing
1.1. Introduction pronounced consequences associated with urbanizing cities.
India also has multiple contributors to its rapid urbanization,
as it experiences a high rate of population growth,
appreciating opportunities in the urban centers while rural
areas face a decline in opportunities, further the shift away
from the low-yield agriculture sector has also played its role.
This unexpected and uncontrollable migration has led to the
development of settlements of urban poor in cities, who in
search and hope of opportunity flock to cities but lack even
basic services in their neighborhood due to overwhelmed
capacities of city municipal authorities.
Solid waste is one such sector that is already an enormous
task for municipal authorities, which is being turned
increasingly complex with lifestyle and consumerism. Rajkot
faces a similar web of issues, that it aims to untangle and
resolve. The primary resolution to reduce pressure on the
value chain is to tackle the issues at each of its steps and
develop a Zero Waste City. Hence, through this studio, our
group has been focused on identifying aspects of the city’s
solid waste cycle, where either waste generation can be
minimized or else inefficiencies in its collection, processing &
disposal can be diminished to achieve a Zero Waste Rajkot.
With a lens of Zero-Waste Rajkot, the current issues of
uncontrolled waste generation, improper waste management,
illicit dumping of waste, and improper utilization of technology
were explored through the first half of the studio, through
community surveys and stakeholder interactions. While the
latter half was focused on identifying key issues, literature
reviews, and pilot project proposals to provide a holistic
resolution. Each project focuses on identifying and diverting
valuable elements from discarded waste, hence the team
prides itself in calling themselves, The ScAvengers.
Scavenging usable aspects from the waste of Rajkot City. The
following are the projects proposed by the Scavengers as per
the value chain of solid waste management:
1. Saman Jain - Annapoorna: Food Loss Diversion for Child
Nutrition
2. Smit Dodiya - Zero Waste Ward Strategy Toolkit
3. Himanshu Satvi – Manobal Swachhta ka Gaurav
4. Disha Gada – Feasibility of Decentralized Municipal Waste
Management in Western Rajkot
5. Sumedha Wasan – Sustainable Disposal Management in
Rajkot

“Zero waste ward strategy” 12 | P a g e

1.2. Current Situation
Per Capita Rajkot generated
around 375 Grams of waste per
day or 1600 grams per day per
household in FY 2020-21.
13 | P a g e
Rajkot generates approximately 715 Tonnes Per Day (TPD) of
waste from 3,96,664 households and an approximate 19,42,494
city population. The city’s waste generation can be compared to
other cities with similar populations such as Faridabad with 600
TPD of waste generation, Ranchi with 400 TPD, and Nashik with
900TPD. The waste in Rajkot is managed by the Solid Waste
Management Department of the Rajkot Municipal Corporation
utilizing approximately 5000 staff members. In the financial year
2020-21, Rajkot Municipal Corporation has achieved a 100%
door-to-door waste collection coverage and further processed
100% of the Waste collected. (Performance Assessment System,
2021) Citizens of Rajkot as per the direction of the Rajkot
Municipal Corporation (RMC) segregate their household waste
into two categories, Dry and Wet Waste. To facilitate segregation,
Rajkot Municipal Corporation (RMC) has provided more than 2
Lakh households with colored dustbins for both wet and dry
waste. Yet, as per the household survey conducted by the
ScAvengers team investigating Solid Waste Management in
Rajkot, only half of the households surveyed (66) mentioned the
practice of waste segregation before handing over the waste.
Almost 60% of this unsegregated waste collected at the
household level is organic and more than 35% comprises
recyclables (ICLEI, 2017) This waste is collected, transferred,
and finally processed as mixed waste at all stages without much
intervention from the formal sections of the value chain.
For transportation of the collected waste 435 waste collection
tippers are under operation in Rajkot with each having
approximately a 1-ton capacity. At the ward level, it is understood
that on average each vehicle navigates 2 trips each carrying an
average of 805kgs per trip to cover the assigned households for
door-to-door collection in a day. The tippers are manned by 2 staff
members: 1 driver and 1 collection staff. The collection member
apart from collecting waste from households also performs
segregation on a personal level, where recyclable waste
weighing around 30-40kgs (5%) of the total waste collected in a
trip is segregated and stored separately by the tipper staff for sale
at a later stage to a scrap dealer. Although 55% of the households
confirmed not segregating their waste before handing it over, this
form of informal segregation at the point of collection helps
reduce the quantity of waste to be processed at each stage post-
door-to-door collection. This separated waste consists of
Plastics, Paper, Cardboard, metals, etc. which the staff sells to
the local scrap dealers to gain extra income daily.
1.3. Challenges Cities are recognized as economic engines and drivers for
urbanization. Both a healthy body and a healthy environment are
essential for citizens to live and work in. A healthy community is
made up of many different components, and there is a complex
relationship between them that develops through time. Economic
modernization and progress cause social and behavioural
tendencies to shift. The amount and composition of garbage
produced are both changing as a result of social and economic
changes. perhaps the most important household service needed
by city inhabitants to maintain their standard of living is solid
waste management. This service is not up to standard in India,
which causes some difficulty in all classes of cities. The weak
solid waste management systems in the majority of Indian cities
are attributed to institutional deficiencies, a lack of human and
financial resources, inappropriate technology, inadequate
coverage, improper collection, transportation, and disposal
methods, as well as an overall lack of proper planning.

THE STORY OF RAJKOT
15 | P a g e
2. Project Rajkot has 1.4 million residents and is divided into three zones
and 23 wards. A newly introduced ward demonstrates a deficiency
Introduction in managing municipal solid waste (MSW), which the city's rapid
2.1 Need of The Project development and population expansion produce at a rate of 715
Tonne Per Day (TPD).

Figure 2: Rajkot Ward Map

Source: ArcGIS

During the site visit and initial conversation with a government

official, learn that the surrounding area lacks swm management.
In 2015, a new ward was added to Rajkot Municipal Corporation
(RMC) in the city's south-eastern region, where growth is
concentrated in the city's southern region and a newly added area
with a mixed-use typology causes more waste to be produced
there. In the suburbs, where decentralization is the only solution
to the problem and there are no longer any nuances, a lack of
funding, and residents who still collect waste the old way are
having a negative impact on the area's quality of life through
increased littering, and waste burning.

The future zero waste vision and ward level reduction both assist
the city in achieving this goal in light of the rising population and
trash production. Ward committees are in charge of proposing the
ward action plan while taking into account the ward requirement,
financial allocations, and infrastructure demand and keeping it in
line with the SWM policy of ULBs. Creative and sustainable
solutions are required to achieve zero waste, which begins at the
mass generator ward in the city where mixed typology exists.
Starting the practice of segregation at the source is necessary,

“Zero waste ward strategy” 16 | P a g e

 and it starts there because it helps ULBs to initiate good
practices, plan accordingly, and connected technological gaps.

2.2. Aim And Objective

The aim is to “Develop a Zero-waste ward strategy and a
Comprehensive Planning toolkit” to Move the city toward zero
waste system.
The objective that could be achieved are:
1. Assessing the existing situation of SWM in Rajkot specifically
for the zero-waste ward.
2. Review the existing case studies for zero-waste cities
3. Identify indicators for developing a zero-waste ward toolkit
4. Piloting the developed toolkit for the ward in Rajkot

The scope of this toolkit is focused on the Emerging area or ward

that was recently added within municipal boundaries.
Infrastructure, Institutional, Finance, and Policy are the 4 criteria
used to identify gaps in this area's toolkit, according to the
strategy provided by ULBs.

2.3. Methodology
The approach was to first understand the state of solid waste
management in Rajkot City by conducting secondary surveys and
based on formulated objective literature review carried out to
know selection criteria for indicators, and solutions to mitigate
gaps in various strategies. Selection of a Potential Site visit for
intervention to understand situation analysis, and stakeholder
consultation was conducted, Following the site visit, data is
screened, scanned, and mapped out in detail. Analysis of
alternative scenarios and implementation methods through
phasing, with a conclusion about the strategies needed in the
ward.

2.3.1 Phase wise

plan Phase 1 -
A site visit analysis of the project region was undertaken, along
with data collecting on the present waste system, ward typology
mapping, mass generator efficiency, information gathering on
garbage pickers and workers, and the current centralized
system's operation.
Phase 2 -
In the second phase, which was designed to identify gaps and
strategies for achieving zero waste, it was determined whether
centralized or decentralized systems could be used to achieve
zero waste wards and how to implement those systems, with a
focus on door-to-door collection and segregation, awareness
campaigns, and the construction of treatment facilities in the ward
area.
Phase 3 –
The third phase focuses on how to execute trash disposal for the
provision of waste treatment facilities and how to effectively move
or manage garbage in the ward and get it to the transfer station.

3. Zero Waste City “Zero waste” means designing and managing Waste and
processes systematically to avoid and eliminate waste and
3.1. Concept conserve all resources from waste streams. Therefore, zero
waste would recycle 100 percent of their waste or recover all
possible resources from waste streams and produce no harmful
waste for our environment. Also, Waste Should Be Reused
Locally to Avoid Sending the Trash to Landfill Making the City or
Wards More Livable and Environmentally Friendly to Achieve the
Cleanest City in India.
In numerous case studies Nationally and internationally, the
notion of zero waste studies was considered for that central-level
project with a strategy and toolkit released to move cities toward
this concept specifically to understand zero waste strategy and
implementation in a different city.
Both global economic growth and consumption rate have
increased significantly all around the globe. Waste generation
trends indicate that waste volume reduction is one of the key
challenges for all cities. For That identified five core aspects that
are most important in transforming cities into zero waste cities.
The tools, methods, or strategies developed for recycling or
managing waste in zero waste cities should be affordable in the
socio-economic context, regulatory or manageable in the socio-
political context, applicable in the policy and technological
context, effective or efficient in the context of the economy and
technology, and finally all these aspects should be directly related
to environmental sustainability. To achieve zero-waste city
objectives, inter-connected key principles need to be applied
simultaneously for transforming a city into a zero-waste city.
1. Behaviour change and sustainable consumption
2. Extended producer and consumer responsibility
3. 100% recycling of municipal solid waste
4. Legislated zero landfill and incineration
5. 100% resource recovery from waste

3.2. Case Studies

Numerous case studies are conducted to comprehend many
topics, including waste management, design, managing waste,
the 3 R Concept, Identification of Gaps, target area, and strategic
actions. Studies have been conducted to better comprehend the
City Plan's zero waste ambition in terms of existing waste
management techniques. Understanding the factors influencing
the Present Situation of the City is crucial. The reasons for
resource depletion and the massive amounts of garbage that are
produced in our daily lives vary from city to metropolis. In order to
comprehend the approach and strategies used in contemporary
practices based on two distinct settings, two background studies
have been investigated:
(A) Planning Toolkit (B) strategies based on gaps found.

3.3. Identify Indicators
Figure 4: Monitoring Toolkit

The task in Rajkot is to develop and implement a solid waste

management value chain that is more environmentally friendly,
affordable, and sustainable. By displaying a significant
commitment to progress in cleanliness and waste management
services, the city achieved the 07th rank in the Swachh
Survekshan 2022. By enhancing the already-existing weak
linkages and strengthening conditions in the newly added area,
four monitoring toolkits are reviewed, and common indicators
from them are combined with five criteria, including MSW Life
cycle, policy, institutional framework, financing, and
administrative vice, in order to help Rajkot, achieve an even
higher ranking in the SS scorecard and to assist other cities in
planning and implementing projects.

4.1. Selection Criteria

Source: ArcGIS

Kothariya ward was chosen because it fulfils several

requirements. The ward's greatest size is 19.04 km2, and its
mixed-use typology helps to detail out many categories of waste
produced, including residential, commercial, industrial, and newly
added waste. Ward makes it easier to understand how a system
with decentralized functions presents significant management
issues in terms of technology, institutional structure, finances,
and the region's highest rate of waste production Of Every day,
35530 kg.
Ward Kothariya Before it was included in the municipality, it was
mostly known as Kothariya Village. The ward is divided into 18A
and 18B, with 68% of the land being residential, 25% being
industrial, and the remaining 7% being commercial. where the
population in 2011 was 55000 and the population in 2019 was
152000, indicating significant population growth. Where there are
35K residential units, 6.5K industrial units, and 3.5K commercial
units. When evaluating the ward office, information was gathered
about the organization structure, street cleaning, Safai Kamdar,
sweeper vehicles, and nuisance points.

4.2. Kotharia Ward
Different HH Groups and Industrial Areas are surveyed to
understand the situation of swm at the ward level.

1. Collection and Segregation: - During the survey visit, it was

discovered that very few places have D2D collection, that the industrial
area has completely no coverage, that manual separation occurs only
sometimes, and that the condition of the collecting tippers is not
maintained.
Figure 6: Waste collection D2D

2. Nuisance Point: -The increase in nuisance points in the ward is

due to the fact that the ward has several locations where garbage
collection is inefficient, timing is inefficient, street sweepers do not
collect rubbish in bins, and narrow streets do not allow tipper
vehicles to collect.
Figure 7: Nuisance Point in Industrial Area

3. Open Burning: - Still, open burning is practised in the region

where weekly garbage is collected and where there is a market with an
industrial sector.
Figure 8: Practise Open Burning At Market Place

25 | P a g e
4.3. Ward To find a possible location for the pilot project, the Kothari ward
Demography was chosen since it produces the most garbage. Because the
ward is large in size 19 km and joined the municipality after five
years, it has the potential to provide a decentralized system.

4.4. Scenario Building To create a zero-waste city to achieve 100% door-to-door
collection for residential properties, an effective transportation
system, frequent street sweeping, and the elimination of
annoyance points, we first checked the toolkit for the ward. From
there, we conducted an analysis and provided different
strategies.

4.4.1 Waste Collection

As A Ward Facing Major Problem Where 12000 HH Has No
Coverage of Waste Collection Total 15 Number of Collection
Tipper and It Is Not Provide Facility in Gamal Area, Market and
Industrial Area for That Its Need More 14 Tipper Vehicle to
Make Efficient Collection In Ward.

Sites where roadways are small,

such as the Gamtel neighborhood
and Low-Income Patches, are also
places where Tipper Not Reached
Provide Auto Facilities or Along
with Tricycle or Cart Provisions for
Collecting Waste. Urban Local
Body Must Provide Larger 20 Liter
Bins Outside the Apartment.

27 | P a g e
 4.4.2 Regularity

Municipal governments can prepare

and publish a collection schedule
calendar for different waste
categories. Regular waste, such as
biodegradable and sanitary waste,
should be collected every day.

4.4.3 Efficient route collection

After providing a collection schedule, it is necessary to provide

daily waste collection. To do this, an IOT-based system will
suggest that waste collectors scan a barcode that is provided in
society to ensure that a specific society is covered on a daily
basis as part of a smart attendance concept. In addition, every
public trash can have a sensor, allowing it to track which bins
have been emptied and which need to be emptied.
4.4.4 Street Sweeping

Only 30% of roads are swept daily

40,600 M Road Sweep Daily

4.4.4 Dustbin Distribution

All waste producers should separate their waste into two

categories. 1) Green Bins: - Wet Waste, 2) Blue Bins: -Dry Waste

“Zero waste ward strategy” 28 | P a g e

 According to HH Survey,
only 40% of HH are covered
by dustbins, thus it is
necessary to distribute bins
widely and raise awareness
of the necessity to separate
garbage into different
categories.

4.4.4 Segregation at Source

Small Bin Near The Washing Sink To Collect Fruit, Vegetable

Peels, And Food Scraps. This Simple Habit Makes It Easy To
Segregate Biodegradable Materials At The Source. Rinse
contaminated non-biodegradable waste (milk packets, food
parcel containers, etc.,) and store them in the non-biodegradable
bin.
4.4.5 Treatment Facility

The area has a bulk waste generator that produces 100 kg of

waste per day, and the marketplace and industrial area both need
to manage their own waste. To help with this, the vegetable
marketplace has a micro-composting facility. Additionally, the
ward has a higher generation of
fodder waste that is directly treated at
MCF, and similar wards have many
annoyance points that need to be
cleared. Identify A Point and Provide
a Material Recovery Facility to
Recover Materials Like Plastic, Cloth,
And Utensils.

5. Conclusion All over the world, people, businesses and cities are adopting a
vision of zero waste. A zero-waste path for Rajkot will protect the
environment, benefit the community and support good green jobs
and a strong local economy. Most importantly, it stops wasting
resources, and allows Rajkot to take responsibility for their own
waste. We have the tools, the ideas, and the opportunity:
together, we can push forward for a zero-waste future for Rajkot.
The zero-waste ward strategy will function as a visionary guiding
document for RMC in its journey to accomplish Aim (No1) by the
year 2032 and make India’s no 1 clean city. This toolkit helps to
assist ULBs in planning a projection for requirements. These risks
include forms like over the year waste are significantly generated
along with treatment facility are not sufficient, lack of people
awareness and participation, Lack of Provision in Urban Sprawl,
an insufficient workforce with organizational structure, and lack of
workforce.
This project provides an approach that can be further
implemented at a city-wide scale, it also helps improve quality of
life, and economic generation, and gives the direction of the local
urban body for planning infrastructure in the city.

 About the Studio
The inadequate understanding of urban
infrastructure and lack of attention paid to
cross-cutting issues often result in poor project
formulation and, thus, inefficient service
delivery. These problems can be addressed
by evaluating the existing infrastructure and
identifying the specific projects to improve the
WASH infrastructure components with
detailedtechnical and financial considerations.
This studio exercise focuses to build
capacities of students in critical analysis of
infrastructure needs in the city, specifically for
the domains of water, sanitation, storm water
and solid waste. In addition, the students
would be able to demonstrate inter-sectoral
linkages that are prevalent in the urban realm.
During this process, the studio equips the
students with a broader understanding of the
process of plan formulation, project
identification, financial analysis and
stakeholder engagement and implementation
needed for executing an infrastructure project.

About Sector
Solid waste management is one of the key
functions in urban local bodies, that is
responsible for the overall public health and
environmental health of the city. The city is one
such example amongst many in a rapidly
urbanizing India, that must look out for this
mammoth function. Rajkot generates around
756 TPD waste out of which, less than 50% is
segregated at source and 5 % processed. The
study includes reviews of the solid waste value
chain with a vision of facilitating an efficient
waste management system for a Zero waste
City that supports the economy, health, and
environment of the city
