In the 21st century, the world has become a global village. New cities are emerging on the world globe. Beside that, existing cities are developing & expanding rapidly. In this respect, the management of municipal solid waste is becoming very important factor in the development of a nation & society. It needs a combination of both administrative & motivational forces to implement a successful municipal waste system. Developed countries have done a lot in this respect & trying to reduce their waste generation. Countries are moving towards disposable & tin food to minimize their waste generation. New techniques are being implemented in today’s world to successfully manage waste & garbage. New techniques in Landfill sites, composting & GTS have been introduced to manage waste effectively & economically. More focus has been drawn towards generation of energy from waste including thermal energy, biogas which makes a sustainable development in the society. Karachi is the biggest & most densely populated city of the country. Being a financial hub, people from all over the country migrate to the city to run their business. Comprising of 3600Sq Km area, the city alone produces around 8000 Tones of Solid waste daily. The municipal waste management of the city has become a challenge for Sindh government & local city government of Karachi. There are 19 towns &several independent authorities in the city. The city waste management has many weaknesses in its services & planning& there is great potential for improvement, in the municipal services of the city. The purpose of this presentation is to conduct a brief study on the Municipal waste management of Gulistan-e- Jauhar Block 2, The project is designated to me by my course teacher Mr. Muhammad Khalid to enhance my practical knowledge in this course & I am very thankful to him for the same. This report shall cover the basic handling of municipal solid waste generated by houses & some shops. It includes the collection system, its temporary storage & then its final dumping at the Landfill site. (The author of ppt is an MBA student at Institute of Business Management, Karachi)

7. THE FLOW OF PROCESS
WASTE
WASTE TREATMENT OF
COLLECTION &
TRANSPORTATION RECYCLE ABLE
SEGRIGATION AT
& DISPOSAL WASTE
THE SOURCE

8. WASTE COLLECTION
PRIMARY DATA:
 There are approximately 1000 houses
 Each house is generating 2.5kg of solid waste per
day
 The collection system is door to door collecting
system comprises of donkey car Vehicles
 Each vehicle has 2 plastic bags for collecting
waste, each of 80 kg capacity
 6 vehicles are used to collect the waste each day
 Each vehicle is collecting about 400kg of Solid
waste

9. WASTE COLLECTING BAGS

10. WASTE COLLECTION
 The waste is collected in a traditional manner using
donkey cars
 The waste collectors reach at the door step of each
house & collect the waste
 At the same time, they segregate the waste & store
the recycle able material in a separate plastic bag

11. Collection Vehicle
Collection at the door steps

12. WASTE SEGRIGATION AT THE SOURCE
The collected Solid waste consists of:
 Kitchen waste (mostly biological)
 Thermal Waste
 Recycle able waste
 Inert
About 75% of waste consists of:
 Kitchen waste
 Remaining of Vegetables & fruits
 Garden & yard
 Inert
 Remaining of cocked food

13. WASTE SEGRIGATION AT THE SOURCE
Remaining 25% is recycle-able items which consist of
the following items:
 Glass
 Animal Bones
 White paper
 Plastics
 Disposable bottles of water & soft drinks
 Plastic ( hard & soft)
 Rubber
 Tire
 Leather
 Bread
 Tube
 Human hairs

14. SEGREGATION AT THE SOURCE

15. SEGREGATION AT THE SOURCE

16. Recycle-able Waste Consist Of cardboards, Plastic Bottles, Paper etc

17. WASTE TRANSPORTATION & DISPOSAL
The waste is transported to the disposal site in a
vehicle
The waste is disposed off at a nearby disposal site
adjacent to the vicinity of Karachi University
The waste is re-segregated at the dumping site
The recycle able waste is taken away by the waste
collectors
The waste is transported to the secondary dumping
site at Gulshan-e-Iqbal by KMC Trucks & Tractors

18. WASTE SEGREGATION AT THE DUMPING SITE

19. Primary Dumping Site

20. WASTE TRANSPORTATION & DISPOSAL
 The dumping site at Gulshan consist of waste
coming from Gulshan Town
 The waste is then transported to the main landfill
site at Surjani
 The waste is burnt out in the air at the landfill site

21. WASTE COLLECTION & TRANSPORTATION TO
THE MAIN LANDFILL SITE

22. WASTE DISPOSAL
AT LANDFILL SITE

23. RECYCLE-ABLE WASTE TREATMENT
 The recycle-able Waste is sold to junk dealers by
the waste collectors
 There are many facilities of these junk dealers in
Karachi who have made great business & fame

24. RECYCLE-ABLE WASTE SELLING RATES
Materials Rates (Rs/Kg)
Human Hairs 1700
Plastic, Leather 1200
Animal Bones 5
White Paper 9-10
Glass 5
Tin, Deposable bottles 55
Rubber 5
Tire 5
Dry Bread 18
Tubes 12

25. ENVIRONMENTAL & HEALTH ISSUES
 The dumping sites are open to air & are serious danger
to the residence of the nearby residential areas
 The waste reach at the roads & pedestrian paths,
effecting the city beauty
 Birds & flies fly over the waste, becoming a source of risk
to Arial accidents
 The burning of waste emits CO2, NOx, depleting our
Ozone layer & increasing global warming

26. BURNING OF WASTE EMITS
CO,CO2 & OTHER
DANGEROUS GASSES

27. THE FLYING BIRDS CAN
BECOME A SOURCE OF
HUGE AIRPLANE ACCIDENTS

28. SUGGESTIONS & IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY
Short Term Strategy:
 Covered waste collection bags
 Personnel Protection
 Top Covered Dumping Site
 Rapid movement of KMC trucks for collection of waste
 Increase in the salary of waste collectors
 Transforming the treatment of recycle-able waste under
KMC

29. SUGGESTIONS & IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY
Medium & Long Term Strategy:
 Better waste collecting vehicles
Converting secondary dumping
site into GTS with modern
facility of waste segregation
 Proper landfill site operation
with additional facility of
composting, waste to energy,
hazardous material disposal
& bio gas formation
