Solid Waste Management Detailed Project Report (DPR)

The Corporation of the City of Panaji has prepared a detailed project Report (DPR) and allied
Engineering Drawings on Solid Waste Management Plan for Panaji City on an integrated approach
line with the guidelines of MoEF / CPCB and MSW Rules 2000.

The detailed Project Report covers an introduction to project, background of the planning area,
Status of the existing Solid Waste Management System, proposed MSW Management system with
cost estimate, equipment’s and their specifications, route plans, design of waste Management
facility with cost estimates, conceptual design of sanitary landfill with cost estimates and
engineering drawings, operational and Maintenance aspects, Cost of proposed system, Financial
frame work including public private participation in establishing the MSW facility.

Panaji City has a population of 59066 souls (census 2001). It is spread in an area of 8.12 sq. kms. The
length of the road is 77 km. There are 68 nos of decentralized composting facilities spread all over
the city. Corporation has about 550 nos of Sanitary workers which include 315 nos. of safai
karmcharis on daily wage basis and a fleet of 38 vehicles of different type / age to carry out MSWM
activity. The Panaji city is bin free and the waste from the generators is collected from the source
through door-to-door collection system. The waste is segregated at source into wet and dry
fractions. About 60% of the residential complexes have been covered under 4 way segregation of dry
waste namely Paper, Plastics, Metal/Glass and others. The wet waste is composted in the
composting units / stations spread all over the city. The dry waste is transported to the sorting
centres for further sorting and recovery of recyclables.

The Corporation of the City of Panaji incurs significant expenditure on MSWM. The capital
expenditure on this activity is financed mainly from the grants received from the Government.

An analysis of the data indicates that a total quantity of 72.2 TPD waste is generated in Panaji city
out of which 37% (27 TPD) is organic, 17% (22.2 TPD) is non-Biodegradable, 34% (25 TPD) is
conception and demolition waste, 11% (8 TPD) is garden waste. The calculations also suggest that
per capita waste generation is 0.255 kgs / capita / day. This proposed 100 TPD Municipal Solid
Waste (MSW) Project Comprising of MSW Collection, Storage & Transportation System
and Integrated MSW processing Facility at baigunium Village of Tiswadi Taluka in North
Goa, District, Goa

The Existing Municipal solid waste is stored in a segregated form at the generator level viz.
houses, hotels, restaurants, commercial area. The residential units and all the commercial
establishments in the city other than Hotels & Restaurants store their waste in a 2-bin
system i.e Biodegradable (wet waste) and Non-biodegradable (dry waste). All the hotels and
restaurants are covered under 4-way dry waste segregation. The dry waste is stored in four
fractions in LDPE bags. Each fraction is stored in a specific colour LDPE bags specified by the
Corporation. 60% of the residential complexes are also covered under 4-way segregation of
dry waste. The dry waste from these residential complexes is stored in 240 litre trolley bins
provided by Corporation. The four dry waste fractions are paper, plastics, metal / glass and
others (multi layered material, foils, thermocol, textile etc). The waste is collected door-to-
door in a segregated manner through CCP Workers. Bio-degradable waste is collected on
daily basis. Non-biodegradable waste from residential units and commercial establishments
is collected bi-weekly basis. Non Bio-degradable waste from residential complexes covered
under 4 way segregation and hotels and restaurants is collected on daily basis. Manual
transfer of bio-degradable waste up to the decentralised composting units is done by means
of 240 liter bins through CCP workers. Manual transfer of non-biodegradable waste up to
the pick-up points is done by means of 240 liter trolley bins through CCP workers. Transfer
of waste from 240 liter bins into the hydraulic trucks with side lifting mechanism and rear
loading compactors is carried out by the CCP workers. Transportation of bio-degradable
waste from Municipal market up to the Bulk composting station located in the market
complex is carried out by means of 240 litres trolley bins. Transportation of the non-
biodegradable waste collected from pick-up points is done to the sorting centre located at
St. Inez, Panaji. At present the non-recyclable waste material is bailed and forwarded to
cement companies in Karnataka and the rejects from the sorting centre are transportated
and dumped at one of the temporary site located in the city.

1. The brief about the existing waste management system with respective MSW Rules
2000 is provided as under.

 Municipal solid waste is stored in a segregated form at the generator level viz. houses,
hotels, restaurants, commercial area. The residential units and all the commercial
establishments in the city other than Hotels & Restaurants store their waste in a 2-bin
system i.e Biodegradable (wet waste) and Non-biodegradable (dry waste). All the hotels and
restaurants are covered under 4 way dry waste segregation. The dry waste is stored in four
fractions in LDPE bags. Each fraction is stored in a specific colour LDPE bags specified by the
Corporation. 60% of the residential complexes are also covered under 4-way segregation of
dry waste. The dry waste from these residential complexes is stored in 240 litre trolley bins
provided by Corporation. The four dry waste fractions are paper, plastics, metal / glass and
others (multi layered material, foils, thermocole, textile etc).
 The waste is collected door-to-door in a segregated manner through CCP Workers.
 Bio-degradable waste is collected on daily basis.
 Non-biodegradable waste from residential units and commercial
establishments is collected bi-weekly basis.
 Non Bio-degradable waste from residential complexes covered under 4 way
segregation and hotels and restaurants is collected on daily basis.
 Manual transfer of bio-degradable waste up to the decentralised composting units is done
by means of 240 liter bins through CCP workers.
 Manual transfer of non-biodegradable waste up to the pick-up points is done by means of
240 liter trolley bins through CCP workers.
 Transfer of waste from 240 liter bins into the hydraulic trucks with side lifting mechanism
and rear loading compactors is carried out by the CCP workers
 Transportation of bio-degradable waste from Municipal market up to the Bulk composting
station located in the market complex is carried out by means of 240 litres trolley bins.
  Transportation of the non-biodegradable waste collected from pick-up points is done to the
sorting centre located at St. Inez, Panaji.
 At present the non-recyclable waste material is bailed and forwarded to cement companies
in Karnataka and the rejects from the sorting centre are transported and dumped at one of
the temporary site located in the city.

2. Disadvantages of the Existing System

 Sanitary workers involved in door-to-door collection, transferring of waste to the pick-up
points and in the composting operation have not been provided with appropriate
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)s
 The existing number of composting units is insufficient in numbers to process the bio-
degradable component of waste generated and collected at present and beyond.
 Finding areas in Panaji city for setting up of new de-centralized compost units is a
difficult proposition due to the fact that in Panaji city, land is scarce commodity and not
available for setting up the required MSW facilities.
 De-centralized compositing units are becoming difficult to manage and monitor
considering the total number of units setup in the city.
 Present sorting centre for non-biodegradable waste (dry waste) is not sufficient enough
for the quantum of non-biodegradable waste received at the centre and not efficient
because of being completely manual in operation.
 Crude disposal of Construction & demolition waste is happening without any facility for
disposal and resource recovery.
 Most of the vehicles involved in the waste transportation have surpassed their economic
life.
 Present workshop located at CCP is lacking in space for parking the vehicles and also in
equipments for undertaking major repair works.
 Crude dumping of waste is happening at various locations in the outskirts of the city due
to the absence of a centralised Engineered MSW treatment facility.
 Un-scientific management of slaughter house waste with no proper arrangements for its
safe disposal.
