Sub: Assistance for Community Farming
Government is pleased to introduce the new scheme "Assistance for Community Farming" to tackle the problem of lands being kept fallow and promote group farming.

Executive Summary.— Waste generation is an integral outcome of human existence. With progress comes a change in the waste characteristics and an increase in the quantity of waste.
Goa has had its tryst with the problems of solid waste management and the State Government being aware and concerned of the situation commenced its fight against waste a couple of years back.
The Government constituted a High Level Task Force to resolve the problems of Solid Waste Management. It has also constituted the Monitoring cum Working Committee and has set up Solid Waste Management Cell under the aegis of the Department of Science & Technology, a specialised unit to handle waste.
One of the first decisions taken was to set up three state of the art Integrated Solid Waste Management facilities. A plastic to fuel plant is on the anvil and the these facilities shall be operational shortly.
OFFICIAL GAZETTE — GOVT. OF GOA SERIES I No. 28 11TH OCTOBER, 2018The Government under the State level advisory body and has amended various rules laws after due consultation with the public, and has made waste segregation at source mandatory. It is presently impressing upon the local bodies on door to door collection of segregated waste.
In a short term perspective dry non-bio-degradable waste is being collected by the GWMC from 190 Panchayats, 13 Municipalities and 1 Corporation. The waste is collected, segregated and the non-recyclable waste is baled at its two baling stations or at the decentralised facilities and is sent for co-processing.
Once the SWMFs come online the designed solid waste management system shall then commence collection of dry and wet waste and deposit it at the SWMF for processing. The design of an efficient and state of the art transfer station network is in progress and shall be constructed and operated by DST.
An area has been identified for setting up a bio-medical waste treatment facility under the Department of Science & Technology.
The Government has allocated areas to various departments to manage solid waste.
Solid waste management is being taken up as a module at school levels to inculcate cleanliness at a very young age. It is a hope that the children will impart civic sense to their parents and hopefully be the change we want to see.
Technology is being used to design, implement, monitor solid waste management MIS, GIS and GPS are being used to efficiently and economically manage the waste.
The SWMP of Goa is in line with the MSW rules, Mall Singh judgement, CPCB guidelines and the Haryana plan. The Goa Solid Waste Management Plan is the result of a study and decisions of the three plans modified to suit the waste characteristics of Goa.
Introduction.— The Government of Goa has given utmost importance to the task of solid waste management. Extracts of the Budget Speech 2015-16 by Hon. Chief Minister of Goa and Minister of Finance, Shri. Laxmikant Parsekar on March 25, 2015 appear below:
(Pg. 6. No. 30)"Sir, scientific solid waste management is the need of the hour, particularly in a state with global recognition for tourism. In this regard, we have commenced the work of state-of-art integrated solid waste management land at Saligao/Calangute plateau, which is slated for completion in 2015-16".
(Pg. 6. No. 31)"It is proposed that an integrated solid waste management plant at Cacora for South Goa will commence immediately after handing over of land formalities are completed. Both these projects are being taken up at an estimated cost of Rs. 738 crores and I propose to make an allocation of Rs. 30 crores for this purpose in the coming financial year".
(Pg. 6. No. 32)"This project needs financial outlay for the long period of its operation of 10 years. Being a green initiative, I propose to create a separate mechanism for payment of annuity through various taxes/cess collected by us for Green Goa. This will put in place a regular and predictable payment mechanism for capital grant and gross annual operational support grant to the concessionaire over the decade long contract period".
(Pg. 6. No. 33)"Apart from this, cleaning of major highways and state roads connecting major towns in Goa has been undertaken and new roads have been added thereby bringing new areas in Porvorim, Saligao, Calangute, Siolim, Raia, Corlim, Ponda under the ambit of the cleanup."

• Directions of the Hon'ble High Court w.r.t Suo Motu W.P. 2/2007
In the Order of the Hon'ble High Court dated 13-08-2013 w.r.t Suo Motu Writ Petition 2/2007, specific directions had been given to certain Village Panchayats, Municipal Councils, Corporation and the State Government w.r.t Solid Waste Management; which are as follows:
• Directions to the Corporation/ Municipal Councils included time-bound targets to identify sites and to set-up sanitary landfills (as applicable) for burial of inert/residual waste collected by the Municipal Councils/Corporations. In addition, there were specific directions about collection, baling and disposal of the plastic waste.
• Directions to the Village Panchayats include the following Clauses among others:
• The Village Panchayats shall ensure that the plastic waste that is collected every week from all wards of the Village Panchayats is baled properly and stored at an appropriate site, until it is collected by the agency appointed for the purpose. If the Government selects a site for storage of plastic waste, the Village Panchayats shall transport the plastic waste to this site in secure condition for baling.
• The VPs of Calangute, Candolim, Taleigao, Benaulim, Colva and Chicalim have to make adequate composting facilities for disposal of organic/biodegradable waste.
• The Village Panchayats of Mandrem, Morjim, Taleigao, Benaulim, Varca, Colva, Majorda, Chicalim, Sancoale and Fatorpa were directed not to issue construction licence/s to multi- dwelling projects of 5 residential units and above, until the Goa State Pollution Control Board was satisfied that the plastic waste is collected weekly from all wards of the Village and baled properly for onwards disposal through the plastic waste collector.
• Directions to the State Government include setting up of two or more sanitary landfills within a period of one year for accepting the residual/inert waste of VPs of North & South Goa, setting up of a plastic waste disposal unit and appointment of an Agency for collection of plastic waste among others.
The above Order w.r.t Suo Motu Writ Petition 2/2007 has been instrumental in initiating a lot of action w.r.t Solid Waste Management in the State, outlined as follows:
• The status of setting up of treatment facilities and sanitary landfills in the Municipal Councils/Corporation is provided in Annexure A.

Past the Order of the Hon'ble High Court, the State has undertaken proactive measures towards Solid Waste Management including setting up of a collection mechanism for dry/non- biodegradable waste, undertaking procedures for setting up two solid waste management facilities in the State, etc.
OFFICIAL GAZETTE — GOVT. OF GOA SERIES I No. 28 11TH OCTOBER, 2018• Directions of the Hon'ble NGT w.r.t O.A. No.199 of 2014 (Almitra H. Patel & Anr. Vs Union of India and Ors.)
The Hon'ble National Green Tribunal vide its Order dated 20-03-2015 has directed all the States to come up with an Action Plan for Solid Waste Management, referring to the following three documents:
• Order of the Hon'ble National Green Tribunal w.r.t O.A. No. 199 of 2014 (Almitra H. Patel & Anr. Vs Union of India & Ors.)
• Order of the Hon'ble NGT w.r.t the case of Capt. Mall Singh Vs State of Punjab
• Plan for Solid Waste Management submitted by the State of Haryana in O.A. No. 199 of 2014.
The Action Plan of Goa and the existing management of Solid Waste is completely in line with the Punjab Plan as well as the Haryana Plan and the Directions of the Hon'ble Tribunal with respect to the following salient features:
• The Integrated Solid Waste Management Facility simalar as Saligao plant in Goa are coming up on Curchorem and Panjim.
• The Integrated Solid Waste Management Facilities in Goa will generate Electricity from the waste through a process of Bio-methanation.
• The Integrated Solid Waste Management Facilities in Goa are based on a cluster approach which will source the waste from the respective clusters in North and South Goa.
• A Green Belt will be developed around the Integrated Solid Waste Management Facilities which will cover around 33% of the total area. This will be used for landscaping, for planting trees, developing garden.
• The Goa Non-Biodegradable Garbage (Control) Act, 1996 has been amended to make Segregation at Source compulsory and provisions have been made to fine offenders.
• The dry waste will be further segregated into recyclable and non-recyclable waste. The Recyclable waste will be only given to authorized recyclers for recycling while the Non- Recyclable waste will be either converted into RDF or to Fuel through Plastic to Fuel Technology.
• RDF:
• Non-biodegradable and non-recyclable waste is currently being collected in a completely segregated manner from 186 Panchayats out of 190 and 12 M.C.'s out of 13 and the CCP. This waste is baled and sent to Vasavadatta Cement Factory in Karnataka for Co-Processing where all the checks and balances for emission standards are taken care of and the technology is approved by the CPCB.
• Once the Integrated Solid Waste Management Facilities come up the responsibility of disposing off the non-biodegradable non-recyclable waste will be with the Contractor who may also send it for co-processing.
• A Plastic to Fuel plant of 10 tons per day capacity is coming up in Pernem taluka. The non-biodegradable and non-recyclable waste can also be sent to this plant for generation of fuel.
Therefore there will be no incineration of non-biodegradable and non-recyclable waste.
• Biodegradable waste will either be composted or be used for generating Biogas which in turn will be used for generating electricity. No part of biodegradable waste will be incinerated.
OFFICIAL GAZETTE — GOVT. OF GOA SERIES I No. 28 11TH OCTOBER, 2018Hence, proper collection, treatment and disposal of Municipal Solid Waste will be ensured thereby fully protecting the environmental interest.
• Principles for waste management.— The Action Plan on Solid Waste Management presented in the Chapter 5 has been formulated keeping in mind the following principles of waste management:
• Effective Segregation of waste at Source

4.1.1 Treatment and Disposal of Non-biodegradable Waste.— As outlined at Section above, dry waste will be further segregated into recyclable and non-recyclable waste, followed by recycling through authorized recyclers and conversion of the non-recyclable component of the waste into RDF or to Fuel through Plastic to Fuel Technology. Thus, there will be no incineration of non-biodegradable and non-recyclable waste.
4.1.2 Treatment and Disposal of Biodegradable Waste.— Biodegradable waste will either be composted or be used for generating Biogas which in turn will be used for generating electricity at the Solid Waste Management. No part of biodegradable waste will be incinerated.
4.1.3 Disposal of Inert Waste.— Only the residual/inert component of the waste shall be disposed in the sanitary landfill. The inert waste generated shall be handed at the local body level as far as possible.
The disposal of the other special kinds of waste is outlined at Section below. • Management of other kinds of waste
4.2.1 Management of E-waste.— It has been resolved to float an E-tender for management and disposal of E-waste on a pilot basis for a period of 6 months. Thereafter, on studying various aspects of the same including the volume of E-waste collected, the collection mechanism, required systemic procedures, etc., a long term tender for management and disposal of E- waste shall be floated.
• Management of Bio-medical waste
As per the Biomedical Waste (Management & Handling) Rules, 1998, the State should have one Common Biomedical Waste Treatment Facility for the State.

• Detail Project Implementation Methods On Integrated SWM
9.1 Introduction to Solid waste management
Our day to day living and activities create waste, may it be cooking, eating, constructing, transporting, packaging etc. it's difficult for one to understand and handle or store or may be dispose off the waste. This storing or collecting of waste is called solid waste and can be a risk to public health, environment or aesthetics of the place.
As we are rapidly growing towards urbanization, especially in cities or frequently visited tourist places problems and issues of Solid waste are on a rise and need to be handled immediately, Our Government bodies have understood the importance for the SWM service but are also facing difficulties coz if various factors. May that be rise in population, Human behavior towards cleanliness, deficiency in labour contracts or participation from private sectors.
It is understood from a study that SWM is the second most important problem of any Government after Unemployment. In most cases collection of waste is not handled and we lose on about 1/3 of our collection thus generating undisciplined dumps across the roads, drains, unutilized plots or streets. This uncollected waste further is a cause contributing to flooding, breeding of insects, spreading of foul smell and spreading of diseases. Even waste that is sometimes collected is disposed at an uncontrolled dumpsites or burned, polluting our water recourses and air.
In many cases of cities, Municipal solid waste contains Hazardous pollutant chemical waste, hospital waste, Animal excrements, sharp metals etc. This waste facilitates Diseases and injuries among children, rag pickers and employees among SWM Sectors.
Contamination of this kind is likely at all points where waste is handled. Although it is certain that vector insects and rodents can transmit various pathogenic agents (amoebic and bacillary dysenteries, typhoid fever, cholera, yellow fever, plague, and others), it often is difficult to trace the effects of such Transmission to a specific population. The implementation of MSWM practices benefits both public health and environmental quality directly and substantially.
Many factors such as area, population, waste amount must be considered in design of swm plant.
Types of Solid Waste.
• House hold waste (Generally classifies as Municipal waste)
• Commercial waste (Also classifies as Municipal waste collected from market, restaurants etc.)
• Industrial Waste (Can be hazardous waste)
• Biomedical waste (Collected from Hospitals etc. can infectious)
9.2 System and Policies for SWM systems in Goa
A typical waste management system in a low- or middle-income State includes the following elements:
• Waste generation and storage
• Segregation, reuse, and recycling at the household level OFFICIAL GAZETTE — GOVT. OF GOA SERIES I No. 28 11TH OCTOBER, 2018 • Primary waste collection and transport to a transfer station or community bin
• Street sweeping and cleansing of public places
• Management of the transfer station or community bin
• Secondary collection and transport to the waste disposal site
• Waste disposal in landfills
• Collection, transport, and treatment of recyclables at all points on the solid waste pathway (collection, storage, transport, and disposal) Other activities are equally important:
• Making policy, as well as setting and enforcing standards and regulations
• Evaluating data on waste generation and characterization for the purposes of planning and adapting system elements
• Ensuring that workers and planners get training and capacity development
• Carrying out public information and awareness and education programs
• Identifying and implementing financial mechanisms, economic instruments, and cost- recovery systems
• Incorporating formal and informal elements of the private sector as well as community- based activities and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs)
9.3 SEGREGATION
Certain things that are not needed around the house are kept aside to be sold to the Scrap dealer (kabadiwala) or the man who buys old items. These items are newspapers, used bottles, magazines, carry bags, old exercise books, oilcans, etc. This is one form of segregation, which is done as a routine in all households in India. Separating our waste is essential as the amount of waste being generated today causes immense problem. Segregation of municipal solid waste can be clearly understood by schematic representation. Certain items are not biodegradable but can be reused or recycled. In fact, it is believed that a larger portion can be recycled, a part of it can be converted to compost, and only a smaller portion of it is real waste that has no use and has to be discarded.
Household waste should be separated daily into different bags for the different categories of waste such as wet and dry waste, which should be disposed of separately. One should also keep a bin for toxic wastes such as medicines, batteries, dried paint, old bulbs, and dried shoe polish. Wet waste, which consists of leftover foodstuff, vegetable peels, etc., should be put in a compost pit and the compost could be used as manure in the garden. Dry waste consisting of cans, aluminium foils, plastics, metal, glass, and paper could be recycled. If we do not dispose of the waste in a more systematic manner, more than 1400 sq. km. of land, which is the size of the city of Delhi, would be required in the country by the year 2047 to dispose of it.
Segregation of waste
Waste can be segregated as 1. Biodegradable and 2. Nonbiodegradable. Biodegradable waste include organic waste, e.g. kitchen waste, vegetables, fruits, flowers, leaves from the garden, and paper. Nonbiodegradable waste can be further segregated into: a) Recyclable waste – plastics, paper, glass, metal, etc. b) Toxic waste – old medicines, paints, chemicals, bulbs, spray cans, fertilizer and pesticide containers, batteries, shoe polish. c) Soiled – hospital waste such as cloth soiled with blood and other body fluids. Toxic and soiled waste must be disposed of with utmost care.
OFFICIAL GAZETTE — GOVT. OF GOA SERIES I No. 28 11TH OCTOBER, 2018Door-to-door collection of waste is another method of segregation, but it is not a common practice as yet in India except in the metros where some private organizations are doing such work. The rag picker plays a very important part in the segregation of waste.
It is now becoming more and more essential to look for methods by which the garbage load on the land can be reduced. It has been seen that at present segregation of waste at source level seems to be the best.
A large number of NGOs (non-governmental organizations) are working in the field of solid waste management such as Clean Ahmedabad Abhiyan in Ahmedabad, Waste-Wise in Bangalore, Mumbai Environmental Action Group in Mumbai, and Vatavaran and Srishti in Delhi. They are all successfully creating awareness among the citizens about their rights and responsibilities towards solid waste and the cleanliness of their city. These organizations promote environmental education and awareness in schools and involve communities in the management of solid waste.
9.4 The Role of the Rag Picker
Rag pickers are the people who are actually going through the garbage bins to pick out the 'rags'. These rag pickers, women, children, and men from the lowest rung in the society, are a common sight in most cities and towns around the country. Rag picking is considered the most menial of all activities and it is people who have no other alternative that are generally driven to it. Rag pickers contribute a great deal to waste management as they scavenge the recyclable matter thereby saving the municipality of the cost and time of collecting and transporting this to the dumps.
The rag picker has a special role to play in the segregation of waste in India. He is one of the focal points for the recycling of waste. He is the person who, in spite of all the dangers that he faces, goes on relentlessly picking through the garbage bin, looking for waste that could be useful to him. He sells all the material he picks to the whole sellers and retailers who in turn sell it to the industry that uses this waste matter as raw material. The main items of collection are plastics, paper, bottles, and cans.
Certain NGOs like Vatavaran in Delhi, CEE (Centre for Environmental Education) in Bangalore and SNDT (Srimati Nathibai Damodar Thackersey) Women's University in Pune have highlighted the cause of the rag pickers and have taken initiatives to improve their lot. Although these efforts are at a local level, they are invaluable. In Bangalore, the Waste Wise project was initiated in 1990 with the aim of improving the conditions of the rag pickers and at the same time benefiting the society and the local authorities. SEWA, Self Employed Women's Association in Ahmedabad has formed a rag pickers' cooperative and, over the years, has helped the women to organize themselves better and collect waste that is recyclable
Rag pickers are well coordinated in their method of working. Among themselves, they have a good understanding for operating by area. Each group takes specific items from the bins. It has been observed that more and more women and children are getting involved in the business of rag picking. This is a matter of concern as these children who should be spending their time in schools either studying or playing are instead putting themselves at risk by handling waste. While picking through waste, the rag picker puts himself at a great risk and is always prone to disease as the waste that he rummages through can be infected.
We can indirectly help the rag picker by carefully segregating the waste that is generated at our homes, thereby facilitating his search for materials that are useful to him. He will not have to scavenge in the bins for long hours.
OFFICIAL GAZETTE — GOVT. OF GOA SERIES I No. 28 11TH OCTOBER, 20189.5 RECYCLING AND RE USE
Recycling involves the collection of used and discarded materials processing these materials and making them into new products. It reduces the amount of waste that is thrown into the community dustbins thereby making the environment cleaner and the air more fresh to breathe.
Surveys carried out by Government and non-government agencies in the country have all recognized the importance of recycling wastes. However, the methodology for safe recycling of waste has not been standardized. Studies have revealed that 7 %-15% of the waste is recycled. If recycling is done in a proper manner, it will solve the problems of waste or garbage. At the community level, a large number of NGOs (Non Governmental Organizations) and private sector enterprises have taken an initiative in segregation and recycling of waste (EXNORA International in Chennai recycles a large part of the waste that is collected). It is being used for composting, making pellets to be used in gasifiers, etc. Plastics are sold to the factories that reuse them. The steps involved in the process prior to recycling include
a) Collection of waste from doorsteps, commercial places, etc.
b) Collection of waste from community dumps.
c) Collection/picking up of waste from final disposal sites.
Some items that can be recycled or reused
Paper Old copies, Old books, Paper bags Newspapers, Old greeting cards, Cardboard box
Plastic Containers, Bottles, Bags, Sheets
Glass and ceramics Bottles, Plates, Cup, Bowls Miscellaneous Old cans,Utensils, Clothes Furniture
Most of the garbage generated in the household can be recycled and reused. Organic kitchen waste such as leftover foodstuff, vegetable peels, and spoilt or dried fruits and vegetables can be recycled by putting them in the compost pits that have been dug in the garden. Old newspapers, magazines and bottles can be sold to the kabadiwala the man who buys these items from homes.
In your own homes you can contribute to waste reduction and the recycling and reuse of certain items. To cover you books you can use old calendars; old greeting cards can also be reused. Paper can also be made at home through a very simple process and you can paint on them.
The schematic diagram below depicts recycling of wastes
Source: CPCB Report on Management of Municipal Solid Waste
OFFICIAL GAZETTE — GOVT. OF GOA SERIES I No. 28 11TH OCTOBER, 2018Waste recycling has some significant advantages. It leads to less utilization of raw materials.
Reduces environmental impacts arising from waste treatment and disposal. Makes the surroundings cleaner and healthier. Saves on landfill space, Saves money, Reduces the amount of energy required to manufacture new products. In fact recycling can prevent the creation of waste at the source.
9.6 Treatment and Disposal of Municipal Waste.
As cities are growing in size with a rise in the population, the amount of waste generated is increasing and becoming unmanageable. The local corporations have adapted different methods for the disposal of waste – open dumps, landfills, sanitary landfills, and incineration plants. One of the important methods of waste treatment is composting.
Open dumps.— Open dumps refer to uncovered areas that are used to dump solid waste of all kinds. The waste is untreated, uncovered, and not segregated. It is the breeding ground for flies, rats, and other insects that spread disease. The rainwater run-off from these dumps contaminates nearby land and water thereby spreading disease. In some countries, open dumps are being phased out.
Landfills.— Landfills are generally located in urban areas where a large amount of waste is generated and has to be dumped in a common place. Unlike an open dump, it is a pit that is dug in the ground. The garbage is dumped and the pit is covered thus preventing the breeding of flies and rats. At the end of each day, a layer of soil is scattered on top of it and some mechanism, usually an earth-moving equipment is used to compress the garbage, which now forms a cell. Thus, every day, garbage is dumped and becomes a cell. After the landfill is full, the area is covered with a thick layer of mud and the site can thereafter be developed as a parking lot or a park.
Landfills have many problems. All types of waste is dumped in landfills and when water seeps through them it gets contaminated and in turn pollutes the surrounding area. This contamination of groundwater and soil through landfills is known as leaching.
Sanitary landfills.— An alternative to landfills which will solve the problem of leaching to some extent, is a sanitary landfill which is more hygienic and built in a methodical manner. These are lined with materials that are impermeable such as plastics and clay, and are also built over impermeable soil. Constructing sanitary landfills is very costly and they are have their own problems. Some authorities claim that often the plastic liner develops cracks as it reacts with various chemical solvents present in the waste.
The rate of decomposition in sanitary landfills is also extremely variable. This can be due to the fact that less oxygen is available as the garbage is compressed very tightly. It has also been observed that some biodegradable materials do not decompose in a landfill. Another major problem is the development of methane gas, which occurs when little oxygen is present, i.e. during anaerobic decomposition. In some countries, the methane being produced from sanitary landfills is tapped and sold as fuel.
Incineration plants.— This process of burning waste in large furnaces is known as incineration. In these plants the recyclable material is segregated and the rest of the material is burnt. At the end of the process all that is left behind is ash. During the process some of the ash floats out with the hot air. This is called fly ash. Both the fly ash and the ash that is left in the furnace after burning have high concentrations of dangerous toxins such as dioxins and heavy metals. Disposing of this ash is a problem. The ash that is buried at the landfills leaches the area and cause severe contamination.
OFFICIAL GAZETTE — GOVT. OF GOA SERIES I No. 28 11TH OCTOBER, 2018Burning garbage is not a clean process as it produces tonnes of toxic ash and pollutes the air and water. A large amount of the waste that is burnt here can be recovered and recycled. In fact, at present, incineration is kept as the last resort and is used mainly for treating the infectious waste.
Water based Seperation Systems.— Water based separation system utilizes water as its medium combined with mechanical separation performed within a modular apparatus. The system focuses on efficiently separating mixed organic and inorganic household waste. The incoming waste is processed by soaking, separating, melting and precipitating to achieve a very high accuracy in separation. This results in an output stream that is cleanly separated into several defined categories, providing sufficiently pure material for on- or off-site recycling. This high level of recaptured recyclable material greatly reduces the quantity of waste for final landfill, effectively solving today's solid waste crisis. More than 80% of the household waste can be recycled after being sorted by this system.
COMPOSTING
Organic matter constitutes 35%–40% of the municipal solid waste generated in India. This waste can be recycled by the method of composting, one of the oldest forms of disposal. It is the natural process of decomposition of organic waste that yields manure or compost, which is very rich in nutrients. Composting is a biological process in which micro-organisms, mainly fungi and bacteria, convert degradable organic waste into humus like substance. This finished product, which looks like soil, is high in carbon and nitrogen and is an excellent medium for growing plants. The process of composting ensures the waste that is produced in the kitchens is not carelessly thrown and left to rot. It recycles the nutrients and returns them to the soil as nutrients. Apart from being clean, cheap, and safe, composting can significantly reduce the amount of disposable garbage. The organic fertilizer can be used instead of chemical fertilizers and is better specially when used for vegetables. It increases the soil's ability to hold water and makes the soil easier to cultivate. It helped the soil retain more of the plant nutrients.
Composting: some benefits
Compost allows the soil to retain more plant nutrients over a longer period.
It supplies part of the 16 essential elements needed by the plants.
It helps reduce the adverse effects of excessive alkalinity, acidity, or the excessive use of chemical fertilizer.
It makes soil easier to cultivate.
It helps keep the soil cool in summer and warm in winter.
It aids in preventing soil erosion by keeping the soil covered.
It helps in controlling the growth of weeds in the garden.
Vermi-composting has become very popular in the last few years. In this method, worms are added to the compost. These help to break the waste and the added excreta of the worms makes the compost very rich in nutrients. In the activity section of this web site you can learn how to make a compost pit or a vermi-compost pit in your school or in the garden at home.
To make a compost pit, you have to select a cool, shaded corner of the garden or the school compound and dig a pit, which ideally should be 3 feet deep. This depth is convenient for aerobic composting as the compost has to be turned at regular intervals in this process. Preferably the pit should be lined with granite or brick to prevent nitrite pollution of the subsoil water, which is known to be highly toxic. Each time organic matter is added to the pit it should be OFFICIAL GAZETTE — GOVT. OF GOA SERIES I No. 28 11TH OCTOBER, 2018 covered with a layer of dried leaves or a thin layer of soil which allows air to enter the pit thereby preventing bad odour. At the end of 45 days, the rich pure organic matter is ready to be used.
9.7 Present Position on Swm and financial position in Goa
Goan Municipalities and Panchayats have overall responsibility for solid waste management (SWM) in their Area. However, most of them are currently unable to fulfill their duty to ensure environmentally sound and sustainable ways of dealing with waste generation, collection, transport, treatment, and disposal. The failure of these bodies in solid waste management can result in serious health problems and environmental degradation.
The present total population of Goa is about 14.5 lakhs with moving tourist adding by another an average 26 lakhs per year. This figure generates around 400 – 450 tones of garbage per day. With 13 municipalities and 180 panchayats and 1 corporation. The rural villages of Goa generate the least waste in Goa and on other hand some Grade 1 villages generate sometimes more waste than grade 2 municipalities.
Some case studies also reveal that Goa is slowly affected by urbanization. This results in more and more population and also causing more and more waste.
According to the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB), average collection coverage ranges from 50 to 90 percent. Furthermore, of all collected waste, 90 percent is disposed of in an unacceptable manner without any consideration of state-of-the art engineering principles. Hence, there is severe degradation of groundwater and surface water through leachate, as well as degradation of air through uncontrolled burning of waste.
There are No facilities provided to locals for recyclable dumps or dumps generated during construction or renovation of house, buildings or any other project.
Eg:- causing dumps all around the highways, drains, municipal waste bins. Such dumps are also not segregated.
9.8 Legal Framework of SWM
In India, SWM is the primary responsibility and duty of the municipal authorities. State legislation and the local acts that govern municipal authorities include special provisions for collection, transport, and disposal of waste. They assign the responsibility for provision of services to the chief executive of the municipal authority. Most state legislation does not cover the necessary technical or organizational details of SWM. Laws talk about sweeping streets, providing receptacles in various parts of the city for storage of waste, and transporting waste to disposal sites in general terms, but they do not clarify how this cleaning shall or can be done. The municipal acts do not specify in clear terms which responsibilities belong to the citizens.
(for example, the responsibility not to litter or the accountability for storing waste at its source). Moreover, they do not mention specific collection systems (such as door-to-door collection of waste), do not mandate appropriate types of waste storage depots, do not require covered waste transport issues, and do not mention aspects of waste treatment or sanitary landfills.
Given the absence of appropriate legislation or of any monitoring mechanism on the performance of municipal authorities, the system of waste management has remained severely deficient and outdated. Inappropriate and unhygienic systems are used. At disposal sites, municipal authorities dump municipal waste, human excreta from slum settlements, industrial waste from small industrial establishments within the city, and biomedical waste without OFFICIAL GAZETTE — GOVT. OF GOA SERIES I No. 28 11TH OCTOBER, 2018 imposing any restrictions, thus provoking serious problems of health and environmental degradation.
In September 2000, the ministry issued the Municipal Solid Waste (Management and Handling)
Rules 2000 under the Environment Protection Act, 1986. Hence, municipal authorities are responsible for implementing provisions of the 2000 rules. They must provide the infrastructure and services with regard to collection, storage, segregation, transport, treatment, and disposal of MSW. Municipal authorities are requested to obtain authorization (that is, permission or technical clearance) from the state pollution control board or committee to set up waste processing and disposal facilities, and they must deliver annual reports of compliance. The state pollution control boards are directed to process the application of municipal authorities and to issue authorization to the municipalities within 45 days of the application's submission.
The urban development departments of the respective state governments are responsible for enforcing the provisions of the rules in metropolitan cities. The district magistrates or deputy commissioners of the concerned districts are responsible for enforcing the provisions within the territorial limits of their jurisdictions. The state pollution control boards are responsible for monitoring compliance with the standards on groundwater, ambient air, and leachate pollution. They must also monitor compliance with compost quality standards and incineration standards as specified in the rules.
9.9 Collection of Solid Waste
To prohibit littering and to facilitate compliance, municipal authorities must take the following steps:
• Organize collection of MSW at household level by using methods such as door-to-door, house-to-house, or community bin service. Collection must be on a regular pre-informed schedule or by acoustic announcement (without exceeding permissible noise levels).
• Give special consideration to devising waste collection in slums and unlawful tenant areas, as well as to commercial areas such as areas with hotels, restaurants, forming of society and cleanliness rules and office complexes.
• Segregate at the source all recyclable waste, as well as biomedical waste and industrial waste, to prevent special waste from being mixed with ordinary municipal solid waste.
• Collect separately all horticultural waste and construction or demolition waste or debris, and dispose of it following proper norms. Similarly, waste generated at dairies will be regulated in accordance with the state laws.
• Prohibit burning of waste.
• Do not permit stray animals at waste storage facilities.
9.10 Secondary Storage of Waste
With respect to secondary storage of waste, municipal authorities must do the following:
• Make available sufficient storage facilities in accordance to the quantities of waste generated.
• Provide covered storage facility so that waste is not exposed to open atmosphere.
• Ensure that storage facilities are attended daily and are emptied and cleaned regularly.
• Ensure that storage facilities or bins are of an appropriate design for ease in handling, transfer, and transport.
OFFICIAL GAZETTE — GOVT. OF GOA SERIES I No. 28 11TH OCTOBER, 2018• Ensure that manual handling and multiple handling of waste are avoided or are done with proper safety and care.
9.11 Transport of Waste
The following rules apply to transport of waste:
• Ensure that vehicles used for transport of waste are covered.
• Ensure that waste is not visible to public or exposed to the open environment, thus preventing the scattering of waste.
• Attend to storage facilities daily for clearing of waste.
• Empty bins or containers before they start overflowing.
• Ensure that transport vehicles are designed so that multiple handling of waste is avoided before final disposal.
9.12 Waste Treatment
Waste treatment rules are as follows:
• Ensure that biodegradable waste is processed by composting, vermin composting, Anaerobic digestion or any other appropriate biological process for stabilizing waste.
Compost or any other end product must comply with the standards specified.
• Ensure that mixed waste containing recoverable resources follows the route of recycling.
Incineration with or without energy recovery may be used in special cases.
9.13 Waste Disposal
• Restrict land-filling to non biodegradable and non-recyclable waste.
• Ensure that land-filling meets the specifications defined in rules.

9.14 Steps toward an improved SWM system
MSWM refers to the entire process chain, comprising seven steps: (1) waste segregation and storage at source, (2) primary collection, (3) street sweeping, (4) secondary waste storage, (5) transport of waste, (6) treatment and recycling options for solid waste, and (7) final disposal. All seven steps are equally important and should be harmonized. Authorities need to consider specialized strategies for different waste generators (households, shops and commercial establishments, industries, hospitals, and so forth) and appropriate measures for the different levels in the SWM chain (household level, neighborhood level, regional level, and so forth). They must also coordinate with the different actors in the management of waste throughout the waste management levels.
OFFICIAL GAZETTE — GOVT. OF GOA SERIES I No. 28 11TH OCTOBER, 2018It is important to note that municipal authorities have the overall responsibility for SWM and, therefore, need to collect useful information on quantity and quality of waste generated in their municipalities. Those quantities may vary seasonally. The quantity of waste in mass is expected to be higher during the monsoon season, when waste will be moister. However, weight will be less during the summer and even less during the winter. Quantifying waste generation according to season is an important precondition for infrastructure planning. Knowledge of physical and chemical composition helps authorities to determine the scope of retrieval of recyclable material and construction debris and to define appropriate technology for treating waste. It also allows them to determine the ultimate requirement of land for final disposal of inert material.
The seven steps described here aim at meeting the requirements of the national rules for municipal solid waste management.
No municipal effort can make a city clean unless its citizens cooperate and take an active part in waste management. Citizens must be informed, educated, and motivated not to litter on the streets so they develop the habit of storing their waste at its source in at least two separate bins (one for biodegradable waste and one for recyclable waste). Citizens also need to be educated about risks to human health and the environment and taught to separate domestic hazardous waste and infectious waste from the other two types of waste.
Municipal authorities must, therefore, make concerted efforts to convince all classes of citizens to store their waste properly:
• The appropriate size of a bin for biodegradable waste is 10 to 15 liters.
• Another bin or a bag of similar size may be used for storing recyclables.
• Bins for shops and establishments should have the capacity to contain the waste that those establishments produce plus 50 percent spare capacity.
• Large establishments may keep larger bins that are coordinated with the municipal transport system.
Selection of Appropriate Collection Vehicles. Collection vehicles must meet the requirements of local conditions. Therefore, an assessment of the housing situation, street conditions, and geographic and topographic situation is always a prerequisite for efficient planning and decision making for primary collection equipment. In general, primary waste collection can be done with slow and smaller vehicles, which do not need to cover very long distances:
9.15 Collection Frequency.
In Goa, which has a hot and humid climate, organic biodegradable waste degrades easily, thereby producing odors and attracting vermin and disease vectors. Therefore, biodegradable waste needs to be collected every day. Dry waste (inorganic recyclables) can be collected less frequently; however, collection at least once per week is advisable. Daily collection service is very important in India. Women responsible for household hygiene would not accept storage of waste in their home for more than 24 hours. When collection service is not provided on a daily basis, they discard waste on the streets. Shops and establishments also do not accept storing waste for more than 24 hours.
Options for Primary Collection. There are two options for primary collection: door-to-door collection at preset intervals or community bin collection.
OFFICIAL GAZETTE — GOVT. OF GOA SERIES I No. 28 11TH OCTOBER, 20189.16 Street-Sweeping Tools.
Appropriate tools play an important role for improved efficiency. At present, most of the tools used by the sanitation workers are inefficient or inappropriate. Traditionally, the workforce resists any change, even if it is positive. Persuasion and awareness efforts will, therefore, be necessary to convince the workforce to adopt improved tools and equipments. Working conditions for street sweepers. Street sweeping is a daily task. Therefore, the allocation of work should provide rotating time off to facilitate working on weekends. Given public expectations and local habits in India, street sweeping should be organized for the early morning hours. And a Community collection bin to be attended by the motorized vehicles at night, such a schedule also protects workers from traffic and air pollution. For the rest of the workday, the sweeping crew might be assigned work in slums, informal settlements, areas that are very dense and need special attention, or places that are not covered in a daily schedule of street sweeping in absence of adequate staffing. Street sweeping is generally carried out on two ends of the road or street, and a maximum of 0.75 meters of road width is swept on either side. The central part of the road is generally clean and litter free. If there is a central road divider, four sides have to be swept instead of two sides. Municipal authorities should take into consideration this workload rather than the width of the road when assigning the work. Municipalities may, therefore, plan the schedule of street sweeping depending on the density of area and importance of the road. They should ensure that slum dwellers and informal settlements are not marginalized or left out.
9.17 Waste from hotels or restaurants
• Hotel and restaurant waste has a similar composition to that of household waste but may contain more organic waste.
• In general, hotels and restaurants either receive municipal collection service or must make their own arrangements for waste disposal. Their association may organize collection and transport of waste to the municipal treatment and disposal site.
• If waste is segregated, the recyclable material has a high value and might be collected by a specialized waste collector.
• Reuse and treatment options for the restaurant and kitchen waste should be assessed (such as animal feeding, composting).
9.18 Waste from fruit and vegetable markets
• Market waste contains a high fraction of biodegradable waste. Therefore, the waste might be of value for specialized waste treatment plants such as composting sites.
• Options for private collection should be assessed because private operators might have interest in such waste. Daily collection is necessary to avoid animals and odor within the market premises.
• Markets require large but easily accessible containers, which should be transported and emptied during nonpeak hours.
• Waste from meat and fish markets requires closed containers and frequent collection services to avoid odor and attraction of vermin.
OFFICIAL GAZETTE — GOVT. OF GOA SERIES I No. 28 11TH OCTOBER, 20189.19 Waste from parks and gardens
• Park and garden waste mainly consists of biodegradable waste and litter.
• The organic fraction might be treated directly in the park or garden and converted into compost.
• Litter must be collected in litter bins in the park or garden. This waste could be collected on a daily basis.
• If treatment of garden waste is not possible within the premises and if garden waste is generated in private places, such waste could be collected on a weekly basis by arranging a rotation schedule.
9.20 Construction and demolition debris
• Demolition debris is a big issue in Indian cities. Many vacant plots are misused and spoiled with illegal disposal of debris, causing considerable costs for the municipality and for private owners.
• Because such debris is rather inert, it does not cause direct harm to people and the environment. Therefore, such waste could be collected separately and taken to landfill sites to be used as inert cover material. Another option is to use this material to fill low-lying areas in the city. This option will eliminate the need to take such waste to landfills and thereby save precious landfill space.
• Demolition waste management needs special attention and monitoring. A closer cooperation with the construction sector might be necessary. Every likely generator may be required to deposit an approximate amount in advance at the prescribed rates with the municipal authority.
• The municipal authority should prescribe the rate per metric ton for the collection, transport, and disposal of construction waste and debris and should announce such rates to the public.
• In many countries, debris management is outsourced to private companies but closely monitored by municipal authorities.
• Skip containers that are lifted on trucks a re most suitable for debris collection and transport.
9.21 Improve Final Disposal of Waste by Constructing Engineered Landfills
Open dumping of waste can cause irreparable damage to the environment by polluting land, water, and air; adversely affecting human health; and lowering people's quality of life. Prohibit open dumps and require municipal authorities to safely dispose of solid waste in engineered landfills. The rules further mandate treatment of the organic fraction of solid waste before final disposal in the landfill sites. Thus, only rejects and degraded waste can be placed in landfills.
Facilities at the Site. The guidelines include several provisions regarding facilities:—
• Landfill sites must be fenced or hedged and must be provided with a proper gate to monitor incoming vehicles or other modes of transport.
OFFICIAL GAZETTE — GOVT. OF GOA SERIES I No. 28 11TH OCTOBER, 2018• Landfill sites must be well protected to prevent entry of unauthorized persons and stray animals.
• Approach and other internal roads for free movement of vehicles and other machinery must exist at the landfill site.
• Landfill sites must have a waste inspection facility to monitor waste brought to the landfill, an office facility for recordkeeping, and a shelter for equipment and machinery, including pollution-monitoring equipment.
• A weigh bridge to measure the quantity of waste brought to the landfill, fire protection equipment, and other facilities should be provided as required.
• Utilities such as drinking water and lighting arrangements for easy landfill operations when carried out in night hours must be provided. If possible, bathing facilities for workers should be provided.
• Safety provisions, such as health inspection for landfill workers, must be periodically made.
9.22 FINANCIAL GROUNDS
Municipality and Panchyats in Goa levy taxes, charges, and fees such as those listed next to gain revenues and to improve their financial situation.* Some municipalities in India also levy monthly user fees or charges for water, drainage, and sanitation to meet the necessary operating and maintenance cost of the service. By and large, however, municipal authorities suffer a major deficit of funds to meet their obligations.
The following are principal sources of municipal authorities' income:
• Property and house taxes
• *Door to Door garbage collection fees
• Fees for passing building plans
• Levies on advertisement through hoardings, signboards etc.
• Rents from municipal properties
• Fees from licenses for various trades
• Parking fees
Most authorities in the State are not in a position to meet their financial needs from the internal financial resources of the area. They therefore fall back on the state government for grants. The states give the municipalities grants for paying staff salaries as well as for carrying out development work. This dependence on state government grants is not sustainable in the long term, and municipalities need to find ways to fund services from their own resources.
9.23 Methods to improve Financial position and Private Sector Participation
Levy and Recovery of Taxes and Charges
Most municipal or panchayat authorities do not levy sufficient taxes. The tax base is generally very weak. The basic valuation from which the level of taxes is calculated is faulty or is deliberately kept low to reduce the burden on the taxpayers. The situation for tax recovery is also very poor. First, many taxable properties are not registered. Certain property holders somehow manage to escape the tax net. Those who are assessed are quite often under assessed and do not pay their taxes regularly. Second, the mechanism of tax recovery is poor. The rates OFFICIAL GAZETTE — GOVT. OF GOA SERIES I No. 28 11TH OCTOBER, 2018 of tax recovery generally range between 30 and 50 percent. In this situation, the financial health of Authorities in Goa is poor, and they are unable to fulfill their obligations. Most of the authorities allocate general funds to cover the costs of SWM services. They most often do not levy any sanitation or city cleaning tax, nor do they impose user fees for waste collection service or for any other SWM service. Very few cities have mustered courage to levy user fees for door- to-door collection and now this service fees should be made compulsory inclusive in the house tax or as a collection fee, a tax receipt should be made compulsory at various renewing documentation so that one doesn't fail to pay, and if people pay they would definitely start using the service of door to door.
The following measures could help improve the financial health
1. Identify priority areas.
• Prioritize the services that the municipal authority has to provide.
• Put SWM service in the top priority list because it is an essential service and obligatory for the municipal authorities to perform.
• Put all non obligatory functions in a separate category of duties that may be performed only after providing adequate funds for satisfactory performance of all essential services.
• Ban wasteful expenditures.
2. Define priorities for obligatory services.
• Decide the minimum level of service the municipal authority would like to provide in each category of service in a given time frame.
• Estimate the funds required to provide that level of service.
• Set the priority of the essential services among themselves, giving due priority to SWM services.
• Allocate funds for each service.
• Decide the critical area in each service and use the funds to optimize the benefits to society.
• Defer expenditures that can wait.
3. Improve tax collection efficiency.
• Critically look into the existing mechanisms and efficiency of tax collection and collection of charges, fees, and other income sources prescribed by the municipal authorities.
• Identify the leaks or lapses in the system.
• Plug the leaks and maximize the efficiency of collection of taxes, charges, and fees.
• Get professional or private sector help in this area wherever required.
• Use the additional funds generated through this effort for the essential services.
• Streamline procedural steps for debt collection from non payers.
4. Review the existing rates and charges.
• Compare existing rates of taxes and charges to the current cost of services.
OFFICIAL GAZETTE — GOVT. OF GOA SERIES I No. 28 11TH OCTOBER, 2018• Make sure that citizens are reasonably taxed for the services they receive. Rates that are too low may be suitably increased to reduce the gap between income and expenditure.
• Rationalize the property tax structure, preferably on the basis of carpet area or plinth area rather than on the basis of rents.
• Introduce the element of cost recovery for specialized services rendered, particularly in the case of doorstep services or nondomestic waste collection services.
5. Encourage NGO and private sector participation.
• List all the SWM activities performed by the municipal authority.
• Identify the areas where NGO or private sector participation or contracting out of services is desirable.
• Change policy: instead of being a provider, become an enabler of the service.
• Determine which services can be covered by the private sector, an NGO, or a cooperative for direct payment from users to reduce the burden on the municipal authority.
• In such areas, carefully monitor the performance of the NGO or private sector provider to ensure required levels of service are met.
CSR/Private Sector Participation, Rules and regularizations
Private sector can be brought in developing the infrastructure of SWM, Dry Wet Bins with Bags can be placed on decorative stand units sponsored by private sectors along the city limits and tourist area's, Garbage collection tricycle or rickshaws can be sponsored by few private sectors. (eg. 5 star, 4 star hotels, corporate, casino's, pharmaceutical companies, Construction companies etc.)
Specification of waste bins should be implemented to business bodies and the same should be installed. No waste check or compulsion is made to have specific size or segregation of bins. Both dry and wet bins must be made compulsory for units or business selling or trading with goods that generate waste, eg. In any general store chocolates are available but no bin is provided outside the store or on the footpath for one to throw paper or its plastic. Like its compulsory to have fire extinguisher in every commercial property it should be mandatory to have a wet and dry bin, this would reduce cost burden on municipal authority on erecting bins and 60% -70 % segregated waste can be made available from the market or commercial areas. Use of Flex or Vinyl Banners should be limited to only paid hoarding where hoarding company takes responsibility of disposal of waste. Strict municipal action must be initiated on banners or posters placed in the city, heavy fines should be recovered, paid boards or wall area must be erected or permitted where facility is available to paste posters where one takes responsibility of disposing the waste. Such unauthorized boards or banners also add as poor aesthetic or visual of the place. (Political banners, Devastan banners, business promotion banners.) It should be made Compulsory for multiple dwelling projects and housing societies to provide garbage units within their premises where dry and wet garbage is collected effectively everyday in segregated form.
A clear state policy and legal framework are needed to facilitate private sector participation in SWM service. The state government should declare a state policy facilitating such participation.

9.25 Awareness and Public Motivation
It is very essential to understand that Solid waste management is not just the responsibility of the authorities but it requires public participation, One needs to understand that "there exists NO Technology where one side you dump Municipal Solid waste and other side it gets recycled or treated". There exist technology which helps in segregation of mixed solid waste but it's important that individuals should understand the importance of segregated collection of dry and wet waste in bins, this bins preferably should have colour codes which should also be placed at various public areas or community bin areas. In Most of the Developed Countries like U.K., Europe etc. such colour coding for bins are already in practice.
A clean city is a concerted effort by the city managers and the civil society. The decision- making process for managing solid waste in urban areas is going through a pattern shift from the "decide, announce, defend" premise of local authorities to more involved public participation.
Solid waste management (SWM) is an activity in which public participation holds the key to success. An urban local body (ULB) can never be successful in SWM without active community participation. The solution is not in the hands of one stakeholder but depends on the interest and participation of all stakeholders. Awareness and education campaigns should target municipal authorities, elected representatives, schools, nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), media, trade associations, families, and the public at large. To economically and efficiently operate a waste management program, regardless of the strategy, requires significant OFFICIAL GAZETTE — GOVT. OF GOA SERIES I No. 28 11TH OCTOBER, 2018 cooperation from the waste generators. Public involvement is therefore necessary in all waste management and disposal activities.
9.26 Citizens Charter A 10-Point Charter to Achieve Zero-Garbage Status
The charter follows:—
1. Extend the scheme of door-to-door collection with segregation to the entire town and make streets and roads free of garbage.
2. Introduce night sweeping at bus stands and on important roads and maintain cleanliness throughout the day.
3. Extend door-to-door collection and street sweeping to holidays and Sundays.
4. Maintain parks, gardens, and open spaces through participation by NGOs and voluntary agencies.
5. Remove encroachments from roads and streets and prevent re encroachments.
6. Prevent the roadside hotels, truck repair shops, and other businesses from dirtying Salem Road and maintain the road by planting trees.
7. Remove stray pigs and dogs from the town.
8. Levy SWM service charges on hotels, Marriage halls, commercial complexes, and garbage-generating industries.
9. Generate vermin-compost from organic waste through eco-friendly techniques by involving voluntary organizations and private bodies on a build, operate, transfer basis, sell the inorganic recyclable garbage, and convert the compost yard into gardens.
10. Engage two mop-up teams with two auto model carriers to remove waste around the clock and make the town free of garbage all the time.
Because local support is essential to the success of any project, Authorities need to consider ways of informing residents about regionalization and its advantages. Moreover, various societal groups have a stake in the SWM process, and they should contribute and share concerns during the planning process. Thus, the regionalization effort should include a public education component that
• Educates citizens about the purposes of regionalization and the expected benefits to the community
• Informs people about the ways in which planned changes in SWM could affect them (for example, a decision to collect and market recyclables in more than one jurisdiction, which could alter the way households dispose of their trash or separate their recyclables)
• Invites residents to participate in SWM decision making by using techniques such as conducting town meetings and having citizen representation on the committees.
Authorities need to provide a workplace for rag pickers through NGOs to facilitate sorting of recyclable waste.
9.27 NGOs and CBOs (Community based organizations): Shaping New Municipal Solid Waste Management Practices in Recycling
The 2000/2016 rules explicitly mention the key role of NGOs and CBOs in improving municipal solid waste management. NGOs have more leeway for their activities and can establish strong partnerships with municipalities. NGOs and CBOs are great institutions for organizing people OFFICIAL GAZETTE — GOVT. OF GOA SERIES I No. 28 11TH OCTOBER, 2018 and promoting citizen participation; they are also a natural venue for implementing waste minimization programs. The role of NGOs and CBOs includes several tasks:
• Undertake phased programs to encourage citizens to segregate waste at source.
• Train informal rag pickers to become professional waste workers in the private sector. Link them with households and neighborhoods in urban areas that are demanding door-to- door collection services for organic and recyclable waste.
• Establish cooperatives of rag pickers and facilitate direct access to recycling industries so that rag pickers get full value for the waste they collect.
• Promote conversion of waste materials (paper and plastics) into useful products.
• Promote the use of two domestic bins at home: one for biodegradable food waste and one for recyclable material.
• If waste is collected daily, prohibit waste disposal on the streets. Waste should be collected door to door or from nearby collection bins. Prohibit littering in streets.
• Promote composting at the household level where appropriate. Households can easily compost their kitchen waste, leaves, grass clippings, and garden plants within their premises if space is available.
Municipal officials should understand their role and relationship with the rest of the community. The following messages should be given to municipal officials:
• Health officers and engineers play key roles in the SWM system, but they need to understand that they ultimately respond to the needs of the population. Therefore, receiving feedback and concerns from stakeholders is essential.
• Many times people are skeptical of working with municipal authorities.
• In any community participation project, municipal officers need to take the backseat and share their powers with the waste management committee. However, they still have the technical knowledge and need to properly communicate when decisions are not suitable.
• Municipal officials need to enable the training and capacity building of resident welfare associations (RWAs). Officials should empower RWAs but not overburden them.
Training NGOs, CBOs, and RWAs to motivate the community toward waste management is important for ensuring the sustainability of a system. Local NGOs can also be trained to set up appropriate pilot units for the selected waste streams. All stakeholders need to be oriented toward segregation at source and to understand the problems and health issues concerned with inefficient disposal of municipal solid waste. IEC is normally done by the key NGOs for CBOs, RWAs, and local municipal officials. Municipalities have been involving key NGOs through tender advertisements and calls for taking up training assignments of this nature.
Some methods to be applied for Motivation and awareness are such as:
• Door-to-Door Motivation and awareness program to be conducted.
• Education material such as leaflets posters explaining segregation must be distributed.
• Organizing community rallies on environment day, earth day etc. A rally always build excitement among the onlookers and propels the people who attend the rallies to motivate other members of society.
OFFICIAL GAZETTE — GOVT. OF GOA SERIES I No. 28 11TH OCTOBER, 2018• Street Plays builds awareness about waste management and motivates non participating residents.
• Cleanup Drives, Cleanup drives have always made the community realize the advantages of cleanliness.
• Signature Campaign, such as bans on plastics, temple waste management, segregation of waste, and sanitation can be used to get opinion.
• School and College Programs, Children are strong communicators. Because school children are the beneficiaries of a better tomorrow. Involvement of National Cadet Corps, National Social Service, and Scouts.
• Involvement of Religious Leaders, Religious leaders plays a significant role in changing people's minds.
• Involvement of Mahila Mandals and Women's Associations.
• Mass Communication Methods, Mass communication methods include print media;
television, radio, and the Internet and cinema theatres.
