| Solid Waste Management at Community Level (2476 words) |
| Municipal solid waste is a heterogeneous mixture of paper, plastic, cloth, metal, glass, organic matter, etc. generated from households, commercial establishments, and markets. |
| It is no use blaming the municipal authorities and putting the onus squarely on them with the excuse that we pay municipal taxes and it is their duty to remove the garbage whether segregated or not. |
| They should ensure cleanliness at the municipal dumps (dhalaos), close coordination between their safaiwalas and ragpickers, be answerable for the overall cleanliness of the area and prevent their employees from taking on side-jobs, thus helping the ragpicker earn a decent income for their sustenance. |
