According to Gidde M.R., et al., (2008) Pune city generating around 1,100 metric tonnes of solid waste per day.

Author estimate cost for collection, transportation and disposal is about Rs.60 crores per year and nearly about Rs.20 to Rs.25 crore are spent on transportation and equipments used at the sanitary landfill site.

Recent study by Sanjay Rode (2011) gives the daily solid waste generation rate of Pune city is 2,602.17 MT (Metric Tonnes).

Pune Municipal Corporation’s Strategic Environment Report (2010) gives figures of solid waste generation.

According to this report municipal solid waste generation in Pune city is among the highest in generating per capita waste Indian cities i.e. 400 gm/capita/day. Currently about 1,100 metric tonnes solid waste is generated per day. In this interesting thing is that, solid waste generation per unit area in old city area is very higher than the suburb. This is because of generation from residential areas and commercial areas are more aggravated in the centre of city.

5.2 Waste collection and transport:- The solid waste collection and transport is managed through team of workers and a fleet of vehicles and dumper placer. Health department assign sanitary inspectors for solid waste management. Pune Municipal Corporation employing more than two thousand sweepers for collection of solid waste. Along with them rag pickers are also engage in collection of solid waste for them (to earn money from segregated waste to sell in scrap market). There are more than four thousand rag pickers appointed by the municipal corporation for segregation. They collect and transport solid waste by tricycles. These rag pickers carry door-to-door collection in municipal corporation area. Most of the household pay them Rs.10 per month which is depending on their service and area collected solid waste finally store in the 18 different locations.

At present there is no such organizations structure for solid waste, storage, collection and segregation in the PMC. (Rode Sanjay, 2011) The Pune Municipal Corporation has a decentralized pattern of solid waste segregation and disposal at it sources. Sanjay Rode (2011) in his study noted that primary and secondary waste collection overlap in Pune city. There is no clear distinction between primary and secondary collection points. There is few primary collection points are in the forms of bins provided on the road sides. Household and other waste generators put their solid waste at street corners and local open spaces where ever it is possible. Only in the five areas are selected for door-to door waste collection by rag pickers from the individual households. The PMC has provided 84 dumper placer vehicles containers with about 1.0 tonnes to 1.5 tonnes of carrying capacity each. They are used for transport solid waste from collection point to disposal site. There are two JCB loaders meant for loading of waste from open secondary collection points. There are 2690 bins around Pune city.

5.3 Intermediate treatment - Out of the daily generated solid waste approximately 950MT (Metric Tonnes) reaches at landfill site at Urali-Devachi village about 20Km from Pune city. According to the Pune Municipal Corporation’s Environmental Status Report only 45% of solid waste is segregated and 80% to 90% is collected in the Pune city. Nearly 250MT to 300MT (Metric Tonnes) of dry waste is recycled and reused through waste pickers.

It is estimated that 500MT (Metric Tonnes) of solid waste undergo mechanical composting at landfill site.

Methane emission from solid waste landfill is estimated to be 65,80,000 tonnes per annum (@1100MT). Pune Municipal Corporation’s Environmental Status Report (2008), there is 1,500 units of vermicomposting units all

over city. They daily convert 100MT (Metric Tonnes) of solid in valuable compost. There are 300 bio-compost units are also decompose solid waste, they are own by NGOs and societies.

5.4 Final Disposal - PMC shifted its dumping ground from Kothrud to Urali-Devachi in 1999. It is located 20 kilometer away from the city. The dumping ground spread over 43 hectors at Urali-Devachi and another landfill site of 17.5 acres is allocated at Yeolewadi. Disposal site was originally partly stone quarry and had deep excavated areas. The unscientifically disposal is done since 2000. (Dhere A.M; et al, 2008) This creates severe ground water infectivity is observed in the wells on the downstream slopes up to 2 kilometer away from disposal site.(Purandare A.N., 2003; Dhere A.M., et al, 2008; Karanje S., 2009) The non implementation of the MSW Rules 2000 led to Public Interest Litigation (PIL) in Mumbai High Court against the Pune Municipal Corporation by local resident.

From 2003 onwards PMC give landfill contract to ECO Designs India Pvt. Ltd. In this designed landfill site issues related to closure or capping of the existing waste, outlets for landfill gas, stop formation of new lechate and desire to develop a greenery and hockey stadium after closure of this landfill site is well narrated. (Purandare A.N., 2003) Along with this designed landfill site composting platform will be constructed of concrete with a layer of 0.5mm HDPE liner beneath. According to the ECO Design’s report this construction strictly follows the MSW management Rule 2000 norms. This plan is further submitted to the Mumbai High Court by the PMC to resolve PIL. The capacity of this landfill is 79000 square meter and cost is Rs.4 crore.

In the article Purandare A.N.(2003) clarify that, after capping this landfill it could easily used to accommodate hockey ground with couple basketball and volley ball courts with areas for a garden and jogging track. But theses are fantasy, current status of this landfill site and disposal depot is recognized as ‘Hot-Spot of Pollution’ in Maharashtra state in general and Pune district in particular. Every year in summer season this disposal that to having constant fire. This fire and smoke continue for week. Till date ground water is highly contaminate due to mixing of lechate from solid waste landfill site.
