The quantum of the daily wet stream collected from within the municipal limits and delivered to the Composting Unit by both municipal and other sources

Averages in %

Averages by Weight


  • Projected generation within the township – 11,200 kgs per day.
  • Expected percentage of delivery – 10,000 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).
  • 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

  1. Single Stream Deliveries and Bulk Deliveries may not reflect the true picture of the quantity of waste generated, collected and transported.
  2. Special circumstances such as fairs and festivals again falsely alter the collection picture.

As a new strategy to keep the town clean and create awareness on littering, Clean Coonoor has started Neighbourhood Cleanups.
