The quantum of the daily dry stream collected from within the municipal limits and delivered to the Resource Recovery Centre by both municipal and other sources
Averages in %
Averages by Weight
Intervenors
- Projected generation within the township – 5,600 kgs per day.
- Expected percentage of delivery – 5,000 kgs per day (90%).
- True increase during tourist influx, fairs and festivals, clearing of backlogs, and cleaning up of dumping black-spots.
- Apparent increase during wet spells.
- True decrease expected during natural calamities.
- Apparent decrease chiefly due to non-collection (absenteeism of sanitation workers, vehicle breakdown, etc).
Actions to be taken
- Check consistently underperforming collection circuits.
- Check for roadside dumping in such circuits.
- Check door-to-door waste collection & pickup timings.
- Liaise with sanitation staff, vehicle drivers, and sanitary supervisors.
- Seek community engagement.
Confounders
- The projected generation is calculated for a moisture range of 9-13%. A high Moisture Content due to any reason will increase the tonnage, creating a false impression that the quanta collected and transported to the facility is within normal limits.
- A Special Single Stream Delivery comprising of higher density material such as glass and other inerts will again create a false impression that the allocated quantum has been collected and transported.
- Bulk Deliveries though contributing to tonnage again do not reflect the true situation.
- Special Circumstances such as wet spells, fairs and festivals, & etc, are other causes for a spurious result.
