In the present study, an attempt has been made to provide an effective collection system (software-based), transportation and disposal of Solid Waste in Narhe. Urban waste collection is also one of the factors that should be considered in the Solid Waste Management Capacity of the respective city. In the present case study, the solid waste management system for Narhe in which the collection and disposal system is mainly concentrated.
The total quantity of solid waste generated in the Pune city (Pune Municipal Corporation) is estimated to be around 1700 Tonnes Per Day (TPD). Whereas Narhe counts to 40-45 TPD. In absence of appropriate systems, inadequate institutional arrangement and poor financial health of urban local bodies, suburbs are following rudimentary methods of waste disposal creating problems for public health and environmental sanitation.

Research Objectives and Focus
This project aims to address the critical lack of efficient solid waste management systems in the suburban area of Narhe, Pune. By conducting a detailed case study, the researchers seek to analyze the current generation, collection, and disposal methods, and subsequently propose a cost-effective, sustainable, and systematic approach that integrates modern technology—such as mobile applications for collection tracking and organic waste converters—to mitigate public health risks and environmental degradation.
- Evaluation of the current waste generation and management infrastructure in Narhe.
- Development of a feasible, cost-effective waste collection and treatment proposal.
- Implementation of decentralized waste handling through primary collection centers.
- Utilization of modern, low-cost technologies to improve sanitation and public health.
Excerpt from the Book
1.1 Background:
Generation of solid waste continues to increase in urban India with rapid urbanization, Change in living standards, consumption patterns and a shift from recycling to a throwaway in society.
In urban areas the problem of solid waste management (SWM) is very acute due to dense development and congestion. Solid waste management is an obligatory function of urban local bodies (ULBs) in India. Most ULBs are unable to cope with the challenging task of collection. Transportation and disposal of solid wastes not only due to rapid urbanisation and rising incomes but also due to the non-availability of required open-spaces near urban centres for land filling. Waste, therefore, often accumulates in open spaces, streets, and even stagnant water bodies causing serious health and environmental problems. Accumulation of uncollected wastes pollutes ground water (through leachates) and surface water (due to runoff during rains).
While SWM generally consumes a significant proportion of municipal budgets, revenues from the service are negligible. The ULBs are also often under-staffed and lack adequate number of vehicles to transport waste. Disposal of waste is becoming an even more serious problem in SWM with land availability within accessible distance becoming scarce mainly due to rapid growth of cities and towns. Management of municipal solid waste is a service, which needs efficiency improvements and also substantial financial support in order to bring about significant change in the service.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the primary focus of this project?
The project focuses on developing a systematic approach for the collection and treatment of solid waste specifically in the suburban area of Narhe, Pune, where existing systems are inadequate.
What are the central thematic areas?
The core themes include analyzing current waste generation rates, evaluating existing disposal problems, and proposing sustainable, cost-effective waste management technologies like composting and mobile-based collection tracking.
What is the primary research goal?
The primary goal is to provide a comprehensive, feasible solid waste management proposal that local bodies can implement to reduce on-road waste dumping and improve public health outcomes.
Which scientific methods are utilized?
The study employs a mix of field-based surveys, quantitative estimation of waste generation across residential and commercial zones, waste characterization, and the application of literature-backed engineering practices.
What subjects are covered in the main body?
The main body covers the current status of waste in Narhe, a thorough literature review, methodology, a detailed case study of existing conditions, and results regarding proposed treatment plants and route optimization.
Which keywords characterize this work?
Key terms include Solid Waste Management, Narhe, Composting, Sustainability, Waste Collection, and Environmental Sanitation.
Why is the Organic Waste Converter (OWC) recommended?
