SOLIDWASTE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM USING
SPATIAL ANALYSIS TOOLS


Conclusions

Quantification experiments shows the Total quantity generated in the campus is about 947 kgs per day, out of which percentage of recyclable matter (paper and plastics) contribution is 28% and fermentable compounds contribute 71%. These wastes could be converted to wealth by better usage through proper management.

Implementation of recycling of papers and plastics, enhances the great weight and volume reduction of wastes, this facilitates further easier handling of solid waste.

Utilization of available fermentable organic matter to produce biogas and compost becomes a source of income and creates employment opportunity and leads to greater reduction in volume and weight of waste to be disposed.

Proposed solid waste management strategy of handling wastes if adopted, final disposal would have no negative impact on environment. This could be implemented elsewhere without much modification in India or in any developing country.
