    MANAGEMENT AND PLANNING FOR DISPOSAL OF SOLID WASTE: A CASE STUDY
    (AIKTC, 2016-05) Magar, Rajendra; Nalband, Irfan Innus
    Solid waste is generated from the society due to human activity which is unwanted, discarded and useless materials in the solid form. Management is a technique, principle and method for executing the work of effective disposal of solid waste whereas planning is the primary function of management which decides the future course of action in advance like rate of solid waste generation, methods of disposal and optimized route of transportation. Planning involves the steps like making forecast for achieving the goal, defining objectives, identifying the alternative course of action to achieve the goal. In this study an attempt has been made for proper management and planning for disposal of solid waste. The study area is selected from Panvel city, Maharashtra, India. Among the various types of wastes only MSW from the Panvel city is selected. In this work, an eco-friendly method of disposal is achieved by proper planning and management for municipal solid waste (MSW). Reducing, recycling and reusing is called as “3R” rule of solid waste and an attempt has been done to achieve this “3R” rule of solid waste. The total quantity of landfilling waste is successfully reduced, so the area required for landfill is also reduced which ultimately helps in saving land and respective economy. This also helps to prevent the land pollution as well it doesn’t cause any harm to environment and the public health. CIDCO is planning for 5.5 Hector land for landfill up to the duration of 15.5 years (from year 2017 onwards) but in this work it is successfully planned for 4.54 Hector land up to the duration of 25 years (from year 2017 onwards) which saves the wastage of land. In this work, the population of Panvel area for next 3 decades (in year 2041) is predicted. This population forecasting is about 1721730 people after 3 decades (in year 2041). Existing method for disposal of solid waste is landfilling and then covering the waste from top which is very traditional method. CIDCO has been proposed the quantity of landfilling waste 365000 MT/year up to the duration of 15.5 years (from year 2017 onwards) but in this work the quantity of landfilling waste is successfully reduced up to 230000 MT/year for the duration of 25 years (from year 2017 onwards). The suggested method in this work for disposal MSW is segregation and then composting, incineration and landfilling as per characteristic of waste. This helps to save land pollution and wastage of land. An optimum route has been selected which saves distance and time of transportation as well as ultimately leads to save the cost of transportation of municipal solid waste (MSW) these things have been achieved in this work for study selected from Panvel city. Keywords: municipal solid waste, eco-friendly disposal, optimum route, landfilling.
