Current Practices of Solid Waste Management in MITS Campus, Gwalior: A Case Study
Journal Title: International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology (IJRASET) - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 5
Abstract
Aim of the study was to access the present condition of the solid waste management in the MITS, Gwalior by taking key informants as field visits, personal interviews with different stakeholders and questionnaire to know the views of the students. Everyday around 150 kilograms of waste is generated from the campus. Predominantly the waste consists of plastics, paper, glass, metals, food waste, garden waste, textile, electronic/electrical, hazardous wastes etc. It was also found that annually an amount of one lakh sixty seven thousand rupees can be recovered by selling the recyclables if segregated from the waste. It was found that there is no proper waste management plan in the campus. All of the waste is collected and thrown at different dumpsites within the campus and is set to burn. Hence recommendations for developing a sustainable waste management plan in the campus are proposed.
