8. No master plan for waste management
9. Weak connection with large Areas.

Key features to reduce solid waste-

1. Public Awareness to waste management
2. Apply the RRR approach
3. Door to Door Waste collection
4. Introduce a master plane for waste management
5. Identification of open defecation area
6. Scientific Waste Processing  & Engineered Landfill
7. Biometric attendance and GPS monitoring of vehicles
8. Litter picking along roads and open area/plots
9. Separate collection from bulk waste generators.
10. Ban on polythene carry bags

           

D2D waste collection

1. Local NGOs helps in awareness of d2d waste collection.
2. Timely door to door collection service created confidence in citizens.
3. Cycle rickshaws for narrow lanes.
4. This project helps to make city Bins free.
5. Effective D2D reduced garbage on roads and open areas.

The technology used in waste management

1. Waste to Energy plant setup
2. Mechanized road sweeping on both sides of the road
3. The efficient workshop is the lifeline of successful waste management
4. Purchase of New Vehicle
5. CCTV camera has been installed for surveillance at waste processing site
6. Manufacturing of Paver blocks, Bricks, etc. from the processed waste.

Challenges in waste management -

Lack of awareness in people & co-ordination with staff

1. Unregulated discharge from leather tanneries in Kanpur
2. It will not succeed without adequate waste management infrastructure and pollution control measures
3. Cities cannot succeed without an overarching framework to deal with the generation, management and disposal of waste.
4. Sewage treatment capacity was only less than its total sewage generation. 
5. There are still no proper dumping facilities on highways due to which people throw their waste om roads carelessly.
6. Corruption, Ground report is different than the actual report.

Plan to clean my city

1. Construction of public toilets in every village.
2. Improvement in solid waste treatment and Disposing waste. 
3. Arrange some public awareness program like drama and Street corner
4. Smart Drainage system build with IoT
5. Identify the garbage collection place and open defecation places
6. Create a chain system between municipal corporation and public

chain for waste management

1. In the present scenario, if there is any blockage in the drainage system, then it is difficult to figure out the exact location of blockage.
2. This system will works on-

Location detection
Prior information of blockage

1. The system monitors the flow of water from the sewage pipeline.
2. Using the flow sensor it detects the variation of flow and collect data.
3. Give the alert when any blockage detected.
4. The power source to operate the sensors will be nearby solar street lights.
