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.
