Solid Waste Management |
|
|
Solid waste being generated from the
Korangi tannery cluster is about 117 tons/day on an
average basis. It contains dusted salt, raw trimmings,
fleshing, wet blue trimmings, shavings and buffing
dust etc.
At present the waste is thrown in the
waste bins constructed at the various locations in
Sector 7-A. PTA manages a system comprising of
tractors and trolleys to dispose the waste from bins
to a near by dumping site. The existing system does
not address segregation of wastes at sources, proper
transportation, reuse/recycling issues and safe
disposal. In order to improve the condition a
comprehensive Solid Waste Management Plan (SWMP) is
required.
Thus, scope of SWMP is defined as the
designing of an efficient system for management of
solid waste in an individual unit and also at the
cluster level. The program will be focused on:
- To evaluate the
existing practices for waste collection and to develop
more effective
alternate options to reuse
and/or final disposal of solid waste taking into
account for
technical, environmental,
organizational and financial aspects.
-
To assess the current
situation and the environmental impact of the
different options.
-
To establish the
requirements of environmental protection for the
disposal of solid waste.
-
To establish the
design criteria of the different options.
-
Design the recommended option
including organizational aspects of solid waste
collection,
reuse and disposal
system.
Goals
The overall objective of the solid waste management
program is to minimize the adverse environmental
affects caused by the indiscriminate disposal of solid
wastes, especially of the hazardous wastes.
Activities
Following activities will be executed to establish a
proper SWMP:
-
Assessment of the
existing situation of solid waste generation and the
current disposal
system
-
A quantitative and
qualitative analyses of the solid waste
-
The design of the system
for segregation of the solid waste within the
tanneries
-
Feasibility for the
collection, transportation and disposal facilities for
solid wastes
-
Identification and
selection of suitable dumping sites
-
Identification and
selection of suitable machinery and equipment for
collection and
disposal
-
Review of different
technologies for re-use and then selection of
appropriate technology
-
Preparation of
financial feasibility for reuse options
-
Preparation of
implementation strategy
-
Initiation of Implementation.
Outputs
The planned outputs are defined below:
-
Data Review and Update
-
Development and approval of detailed Solid Waste
Management Program
-
Detailed Designs for two feasible reuse options
-
Training of 30 staff members of solid waste management
team
-
Initiation of Solid waste Management Program.
