3. Introduction of Surat
•Surat is the second largest city of Gujarat. It is one of the most
dynamic city of India with one of the fastest growth rate due to
immigration from various part of Gujarat and India.
•“Plague” marred the golden face of Surat in mid 1990’s. Surat was
declared as one of the dirtiest, filthiest, and unhygienic cities of
India!
•Alarmed at the situation, the Surat Municipal Corporation
undertook a stringent programme of cleaning the city.
•The innovative steps taken by SMC in solid waste management
showed visible changes in the city.
•The level of solid waste collection increased from 30% in 1995 to
93% daily.
•Surat is now identified as the second cleanest city of the country.
This drastic change was brought about by the SMC.

SURAT: 2013

5. Solid waste management: an
introduction
•Solid waste management is a integral part of urban and
environmental management of each city. Surat Municipal
Corporation (SMC) is responsible for community solid waste
management in city.
•The present study has been carried out in the urban environment
of Surat to understand the problems and perspective associated
with solid waste management in the city.
•As per the MSW (Management &Handling) Rule, 2000 garbage
is define as “MSW which includes commercial and residential
wastes generated in a municipal or notified areas in either solid or
semi-solid form excluding industrial hazardous wastes but
including treated bio-medical wastes.

6. Objectives for an innovative &
modern SWM
•To devise more efficient system of day to day cleaning, conventional
and mechanical.
•To modernize the system of community waste storage & synchronize
the system of primary collection as well as transportation of waste.
•To eliminate manual handling of waste and open transportation
vehicles.
•To improve the system of waste transportation by ensuring "handling
waste only once".
•To derive income from the processing of waste and help agricultural
production.
•To reduce quantity of waste going to landfill site by adopting
suitable technology.

7. •Involving citizens: Positive involvement, penalizing truants,
creating public awareness.
To achieve above objectives, the SMC adopted a strategy that
included employing additional manpower and material;
bringing about changes in administration and monitoring; and
privatisation.

8. Strategy used to achieve the
Objectives
•Selection of type of vehicle based on the width of existing
road.
•Coverage of number of residences on each route - between
1,000 and 3,000.
•Strengthening the existing system of garbage collection.
•Creating public awareness by one-on-one and group meetings.
•Drivers and “Swachchhta Mitra” are provided with uniforms
& identity Cards, with each vehicle.
•The entire pick –up vehicles are equipped with proper alarm
system to let the residents know of their arrival at the doorstep
regularly between 7:00 am to 1.00 pm.

9. •Facility of second shift is scheduled for collecting waste from
commercial units during 4.00 pm to 11.00 pm daily in each
zone.
•It is mandatory to clean streets twice daily. Group
cleaning-‘safai’ including brushing and scrapping is done in
the late night.
•The system operates 365 days in a year with no holidays.
•Provision for segregated waste collection (Dry & Wet).

10. Solid waste management system
in Surat city
•The Intention is to strengthen the Municipal Solid Waste
(MSW) collection system in the area of urban local body.
•As discuss earlier SMC had implemented many strategies for
improving solid waste management. Out of all these we will
emphasise on two main. As follow,
1.Door to door garbage collection system
2.Developing a land fill site at Khajod

11. Door to Door Garbage Collection &
Disposal System
•The main aspect of the project is its compliance with MSW
Rules-2000.
•As vehicle is supposed to collect the household waste from the
doorsteps of the residence, residents developed a habit of
storing their garbage in a bin till vehicle of Door to Door
collection system reaches to them.
•Before the implementation of such system it was normal
practice to throw household waste open on the street which
was collected & disposed by sweepers. This resulted in overall
filthy & dirty appearance of the street as well as around the
container spot.

12. •After the implementation of system in the morning (7 am till 1
pm); it has now become the practice of every citizen to store the
household waste temporarily in dustbin till collection vehicle
arrives. This has made a good improvement in the overall scenario.
•On request form shop keepers, waste collection system is made
operative in second shift from 5 pm to 11 pm to facilitate
commercial units.
•The main drawback of this collection system was
stray animal nuisance found at each dustbin and nuisance spot,
rag pickers nuisance were also found doing segregation.
Inaccessibility of all areas by collection vehicles.

14. Khajod: New hope for Surat to be
a zero waste discharge city

15. •In a city having population of 46 lakh,
 SMC collects about 1,200
metric tonne of solid waste daily from six transfer stations based
at Bhatar, Katargam, Varachha, Anjana, Pal and Bhestan and
sent to Khajod solid waste disposal site. About 400 metric tonne
of organic waste is used for making compost, while the rest is
dumped and levelled at the Khajod.
•Pune-based Rochem Separation`s proposals to purchase solid
waste at Rs 60.63 ($1.32) per tonne to generate 12 MW
electricity was considered.
•The civic body would earn revenue of Rs 13.3 million
($290,000) per annum by selling 600 metric tonne per day waste
to the company.

16. •SMC intend to set up a 600 MT plant of the Germany-based
Concord Blue System. Concord Blue is a tower-like gasifer and
employs the process of gasification to treat the waste fed in it
and produces electricity.
•This new waste to energy technology can handle any type of
input material containing a substantial part of organic origin
such as plastics, sewage, wood, biomass, hospital waste, industry
and agricultural waste such as sugar and effluent.
•The idea is to use the waste for
 green energy without sending the
waste to landfill. If all goes well as planned by the SMC, Surat
will be the second in the country after Pune in adopting ‘zero
waste’ strategy.
