The city is still grappling with source segregation, door-to-door collection, waste treatment and processing and on-site organic waste management

India’s greatest cleanliness survey, Swachh Survekshan, began in 73 cities in 2016. Uttar Pradesh’s Ghaziabad was ranked 67th in its inaugural survey. Cut to 2019, Ghaziabad was declared the fastest-growing city and ranked 13th in the same survey under cities with a population of more than a million.

The city’s waste management situation, however, deteriorated after that. It slipped to 19th rank in the 2020 survey.

While other cities such as Panaji and Bengaluru have begun to use digitisation to monitor and improve their waste management systems, Ghaziabad is still grappling with source segregation, door-to-door collection, waste treatment and processing and on-site organic waste management.

The Ghaziabad Municipal Corporation merely collects and disposes of mixed waste at various sites across Ghaziabad, which has turned into a new breeding ground for cattle and poses health and environmental risks.

The results of the Swachh Survekshan and the reality on the ground demonstrate that Ghaziabad’s current waste management situation has weakened and is insufficient in many ways.

The Pratap Vihar area of Ghaziabad city comprises various residential societies, multi-story commercial complexes and educational institutions. This article highlights the current waste management scenario in Pratap Vihar, Ghaziabad. The Solid Waste Management (SWM) Rules, 2016, prescribe several provisions for waste generators, source segregation being the most critical aspect of efficient waste management.

Every waste generator must segregate waste into three fractions: Biodegradable, non-biodegradable and domestic hazardous waste. It has been, however, observed that in the Pratap Vihar area, the waste is not even segregated into two fractions.
