How?
A fleet consists of 10 trucks, 2 tractors, 257 road sweepers, 5
conservancy supervisors, 6 sanitary inspectors, a chief medical and a
health officer
Garbage collected is disposed in the gorges of the trenching ground,
situated at MAWLAI on Shillong Guwahati Road
A person has to walk nearly 320 mtrs to reach a dustbin
Cleaning of road is also done voluntarily by providing one person
from every family to work on allotted days
Water pollution
Floods
The informal
sector often just
burns the e-waste
disposed in the
open, which, in
turn, produces
hazardous gases
In the absence of
proper solid waste
collection system,
a substantial
quantity of the
garbage
generated finds
its way into
streams which
ultimately join the
Umkhrah and
Umshyrpi, and
then flow to the
Umiam Lake
50% of the
material present
in the garbage is
inert (high density
waste) and
ultimately settles
down on the beds
of these streams,
raising their bed
levels, which
causes flooding of
streams during
heavy rains in
monsoon and can
even erode banks
of the streams
PROPOSED STRATEGIES
Keeping in view the Municipal Solid Waste (Management &
Handling) Rules, 2000, the following have been proposed:
Improvement in primary collection- house
to house collection and segregation at source.
Improvement in the secondary collectiondoing away with the age old, masonry bin
collection.
Introduction of transfer points, involving compactors for
effective collection
Improvement in transportation, with introduction of closed
body refuse vehicles
PROPOSED STRATEGIES
Improvement in the disposal system by adopting sanitary
landfill systems and waste processing facilities
