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