Solid Waste Management
All the municipal authorities are required to arrange for collection, segregation, transportation and
suitable disposal of municipal wastes from the municipal towns/cities according to the MSW (M & H)
Rules 2000
The Government of Gujarat has constituted a Nodal Agency, Gujarat Urban Development Company Ltd
(GUDC) for the development of infrastructure for treatment, transportation and disposal
