Abstract
: A micro-level audit of the Municipal Solid Waste Management system was carried out for centrally situated Dhantoli locality of Nagpur, Maharashtra. Dhantoli being a very elite locality of Nagpur was facing problems due to increasing municipal solid waste. Waste quantification was carried out to find the total amount of waste generated per day from the locality and the percentage of biodegradable and non-biodegradable waste was also determined. The waste sample was analyzed for its characteristics and its results indicated that organic waste was highest among other components of the waste. The outcomes of the audit also highlighted the lacunae in the collection and transportation system of the locality. Considering all the parameters, a decentralized composting plant was suggested for the treatment and disposal of biodegradable waste; while for the non-biodegradable waste establishment of a Material Recovery Facility (MRF) center was proposed.
