Ban use of disposable plates and glass made from plastic and other non bio degradable products. Only goods made from paper, aluminium and leaves (patal) should be allowed.

There is a major issue emerging, with such high urbanization rates, the existing large cities have large dumping sites already pending to be treated. Hence it's important to: 1) promote waste segregation tremendously in cities and towns coming up, 2) covering the treated waste and make something like a golf course on it. 3) involve private companies for waste treatment. Waste segregation techniques can be introduced right from school and college level as adopted in China and Japan.

The 50 cities can be selected on the basis of health parameters and their conditions there. The worst affected cities need to be tackled first. As most of the small and medium town ULBs lack fund, there can be a common landfill site to tackle the solid waste management and hence, the operational and maintenance cost reduces for each of these towns. Say 3-4 towns nearby have a common landfill site as the population of each of these would be small and hence not a large amount of waste to deal with

Sweden uses 99% waste to create enery. If We can produce energy from waste in India, It can help us minimizing power problem and it will also help to keep our country clean. http://livefreelivenatural.com/sweden-now-recycling-99-percent-trash-heres/

First of all need to campaign for awareness in India about waste sorting. Most of the techniques used by developed countries might not work in India, as we have 70% wet garbage and 30% dry garbage. Food wastage is a huge problem. Once read that, annually bangalore alone wastes 943 tonnes of quality food during weddings. Need to do something to distribute that food among poor.

Solid Waste Management has to begin at the source of the generation of the wastes, i.e. the households. It is very important for us to follow the principle of the 3Rs Reduce, Reuse and Recycle. At an individual level, we must produce less waste and reuse as much as we can. Waste segregation must take place at the source. Waste must be segregated into wet wastes and dry wastes. The wet wastes must be collected daily and used to make manure. The dry waste must be collected and sent for recycling.

Is it possible to give beggars responsibility of cleaning garbage from roads. It will not only give employment to that class of people but will also help in eradicating major problems in India like cleanliness and unemployment.
