Decentralized Solid Waste Management

The Decentralized Solid Waste Management (DSWM) is a system to provide a clean environment and hygienic living condition by reducing the quantity of waste at source. It involves the management of municipal solid waste by various small waste management centres within the locality.The decentralized system is not only sustainable and financially viable but also helps to improve the quality of life and working conditions of the waste pickers.. Many bulk waste generators such as large industries, hotels, IT companies and some forward looking municipal corporations have started adopting various decentralized waste management solutions as a part of their overall waste management strategies. Decentralized organic Solid Waste (SW) composting promotes green growth, reduces GHG emissions and also reduces transportation of organic SW to wastedisposal site.
