Dehradun is the capital of Uttarakhand province of India which was created in 2000 after carving it out of Uttar Pradesh province. Since 2000, Dehradun has been the hub of all the major developmental activities and due to population influx from its neighbouring hilly districts and huge growth of the industries during this period resulted in high pressure on civic authorities and the municipal bodies to dispose the waste generated by the household and the commercial units. Waste is for the most part discarded by the residents on the roads, drains, open ground, fallow land, and so on, sometimes burnt in open, which creates unhygienic environment for the residents and is debilitating human wellbeing. There is no existing methodology available or practiced by the municipality for scientific and integrated solid waste management and therefore, there is a strong and urgent need to introduce required changes in solid waste management by Dehradun municipality in order to make the town hygienic, beautiful and happy. This strategy paper aims at suggesting an integrated solid waste management approach for the city of Dehradun by using public private partnership.
