he project on Strengthening of Infrastructure of CPCB/SPCB/PCCs for implementation
of Rules notified by HSM Division under Environment Protection Act was undertaken
by the West Bengal Pollution Control Board on and from 15.02.2003. The project has been
implemented with financial assistance from Ministry of Environment & Forests, Govt. of
India. Although the said project was awarded for the inventorization of Municipal Solid
Wastes, Bio-Medical Wastes, Industrial Haz. Wastes, Plastic Wastes, and Battery Wastes,
but as per the priority suggested by the CPCB vide their letter dated 10.02.2003, the Board
inventorized the Municipal Solid Waste(MSW) as well as Bio-Medical Waste(BMW) in theone hundred twenty six(126) nos. Municipal Authorities in our State.
The objective of the project was to conduct a detailed survey in different Municipal Bodies of
the state for the inventorization of Municipal Solid Waste as well as Bio-Medical Waste and
to plan a strategy for scientific management of Municipal Solid Waste and Bio-Medical
Waste in the state of West Bengal. With this outlook, the field visits were made to one
hundred twenty six(126) nos. Municipal Authorities in the different districts of West
Bengal. The health care units situated within the municipal jurisdiction of the state were
visited by the project team and the subsequent analysis of data collected therein
culminated in the successful completion of the above project.
The project portrays in detail a comprehensive image of the status of waste management in
the state, with an in depth account of the mode of generation, collection, storage,
transportation and disposal of MSW and BMW in different municipalities and health care
units. This report may serve as baseline information for drawing references and making
fitting suggestions in related works.

Executive summary
The State of West Bengal comprises of nineteen Districts, having all together 126 nos. municipal
bodies (6 nos. Municipal Corporations, 118 nos. Municipalities and 2 nos. Notified Area
Authorities). Out of these 126 nos. Municipal bodies, 41 nos. (3 nos. Municipal Corporations and38 nos. Municipalities) are situated within the Kolkata Metropolitan Area (KMA), the urbanagglomeration of the city of Kolkata.
Total about 8,700 MT of MSW is generated per day in 126 nos. municipal areas of West Bengal.
Kolkata Municipal Corporation area contributes the maximum amount of 2,700 MT daily.
Most of the municipalities in the state, do not have adequate arrangement for the collection,
transportation, and disposal of the municipal solid waste. In addition to these, the non-availability
of the land is the major constrain for the municipalities, particularly which are situated within
KMA, to develop the solid waste management system.
Bhadreswar Municipality in Hooghly District has developed compost plant which consist of
windrows as well as vermi compost. Following waste to energy concept, they have also
installed a Gobar(cow dung) Gas Plant and the gas generated from the plant is utilized as fuel for
the furnace of a crematorium in their municipal area and the residue generated from this Bio-Gas
Plant are used as organic manure.
Around 200 nos. Govt. Hospitals, 50 nos. Municipal health care units, 1,100 nos. Private
Hospital/Nursing Homes have been identified within the 126 nos. municipal areas. The total bed
strength of these health care units is 61,630 and the approximate BMW generation is about 15.5
MT /day (calculated on the basis of 250 gms. of BMW/day/bed).
Except the health care units situated in Kolkata, Howrah, 24 Parganas North & South and Nadia
districts, most of the health care units dump their bio-medical wastes in municipal vats/binswithout any treatment. Under the West Bengal Health System Development Project a good nos. of
State Govt. Hospitals have developed the BMW treatment and disposal facility. With the active
cooperation of the local bodies, a few of the facilities functioning as a common facility for thenearby health care units against charges.
Two Common Bio-Medical Waste Treatment and Disposal Facility (CBMWTDF) has been
developed (one in Howrah District and another in Nadia District) on Public Private Partnership
(PPP) concept. Both the facility has the capacity to treat the BMW generated from 30,000 beds. Itprovides services for collection, transportation, treatment and disposal of BMW with user charges
for the health care establishments situated within the Districts of Kolkata, Howrah, Hooghly,
North 24-Parganas, South 24-Parganas, Nadia.Two more CBMWTDF are under construction by the private agency one at Asansol, Dist.Burdwan and another one at Haldia, Dist. East Midnapore. These two facilities will also provide
services for collection, transportation, treatment and disposal of BMW.

Introduction
With rapid urbanization and ever increasing population growth there has been a substantial
increase in the generation of solid waste & contamination of air, water and land resources. The
solid wastes from different municipalities, not managed properly, have been creating problems
for human health and environment. Some of the solid wastes have been proved to be extremely
toxic and infectious. The uncontrolled dumping of such wastes have not only brought about
increasing number of incidents of health hazard but also causing the surface and ground water
contamination and thus posing serious environmental threat to the human being.
Realizing the seriousness of the problem of solid waste management and therefore to regulate
the management and handling of the municipal solid waste, the draft of the Municipal Solid
Wastes (Management and Handling) Rules, 1999 were published by the Ministry of Environment
and Forest, Government of India vide No. S.O.783(E), dated the 27th September, 1999 in the
Gazette of India, Part II, Section 3 & sub section (ii) and finally, in exercise of the powers
conferred by Section 3, 6 and 25 of the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986 (29of 1986) it has
been notified as Municipal Solid Wastes (Management and Handling) Rules, 2000 vide no.
S.O.908(B) dated the 25th September, 2000.
The objective of the rule is to make every municipal authority, within the territorial area of themunicipality, responsible for the implementation of the provisions of these rules, and for any
infrastructure development for collection, storage, segregation, transportation, processing and
disposal of Municipal Solid Wastes.
The majority of the municipal authorities, not only in our State but also in the country, have not
taken the MSW management as their priority agenda. Like other states, the implementation
status of the Municipal Solid Waste (Management and Handling) Rules, particularly for the
scientific disposal of municipal solid wastes, in our State is also very poor.
Along with the MSW, the BMW generated from the various health care establishments also
poses a serious threat to the environment. Poor Management of these wastes is a major
challenge for the society. The costly equipments for the waste treatment as well as the space
constrain and also the lack of awareness are the major issues for the poor hospital waste
management, in the health care units, particularly the small nursing homes. At present most of
the health care units are disposing their BMWs along with their general wastes in municipal vats.
Sometimes these wastes are also buried or burned in on\pen air. There is no waste segregation
or treatment. To ensure proper BMW management the Bio-medical Waste (Management &
Handling) Rules were notified in 1998, but till date the implementation status of the Rules is very
2

poor. Moreover, due to shortage of manpower, the State Board had no detailed information
about the management of these wastes, particularly municipal solid wastes and bio-medical
wastes in the State.
Keeping this in view, the Ministry of Environment & Forest, Govt. of India, has come forward in
the year 2003 with financial assistance for projects to strengthen the infrastructure of Central
Pollution Control Board (CPCB) and the State Pollution Control Boards/ Pollution Control
Committees in order to ensure effective implementation of the provisions laid down in the rules
related to Municipal Solid Waste and Bio-Medical Waste. Like other state boards, the West
Bengal Pollution Control Board has been awarded the same project. The objective of the project
is to conduct detailed survey in different municipal bodies of the state for the inventorisation of
municipal solid waste as well as bio-medical waste and prepare a strategy for better
management of the Municipal Solid Waste and Bio-medical Waste in the State of West Bengal.
1.1 Objective of the Project
1) Qualitative as well as quantitative assessment of solid wastes generated in different
municipal areas of the West Bengal.
2) Inventorisation of the existing system of storage, collection, transportation and
disposal of MSW including Biomedical waste and identification of deficiencies in the
respective management system.
3) To create awareness among people associated with different local bodies and health
care units about the necessities and requirements for scientific segregation, storage,
treatment and disposal of MSW and BMW.
1.2 Scope of the Project
To quantify the solid wastes generated in the municipalities of West Bengal.
To study the existing system of collection, storage, transportation and disposal of
MSW including bio-medical waste and to identify the deficiencies in the system.
To recommend an appropriate system for segregation, collection, storage,
transportation, treatment and disposal of MSW and BMW.

1.3 Methodology
The methodology followed for preparing the inventory is given below :
1. Listing of municipal bodies and their contact phone no. for all districts in West Bengal.
2. Collection of information through circulation of questionnaire (format of the
questionnaire presented in Annexure-I)
3. Field visits and interactions with concerned municipal authorities.
4. Study of existing storage, collection, transportation, processing and disposal facilities
of municipal solid waste, as well as future plan for betterment of the management
system.
5. Crosschecking with the information given by the individual municipalities in the MSW
Authorization application and Annual Reports.
6. Laboratory analysis of solid waste collected from different dumpsite.
7. Collection of information about the inventory of health care units from the CMOH
Offices of the Districts and Municipalities and visit of the individual health care units
within municipal areas about their bio-medical waste management.
8. Crosschecking the inventory regarding health care units with the records given by the
Regional Offices of the State Board.
9. Preparation of interim and final report.
1.4 Problems / Limitations
a) Quantification of solid waste depends on various factors such as weather, economic
status, geographical position of municipalities etc. In most of the cases there is no
proper quantification method. It has been done on the basis of information provided
by the municipalities.
b) As there is no unique method or management system, the data given by the
Municipal Authorities regarding solid waste generation, collection etc. vary largely. In
some cases they have given absurd figures which have been modified logically.
c) Lack of uniformities in the available information regarding solid waste management of
different municipalities.

Municipal Solid Waste
Municipal Solid Waste consists of household wastes, market wastes, construction and
demolition debris, sanitation residues, drain silt, waste from streets, etc. With rapid urbanization,
rising population and change in lifestyle as well as food habits, the amount of MSW has been
increasing rapidly. Moreover, its composition ratio is also changing. Over the last few years, the
consumer market has grown rapidly leading to products being packed in cans, aluminium foils,
plastics and other such non-biodegradable items that cause incalculable harm to the
environment.
Generation and composition
Municipal waste production is related to levels of industrialization and income status. Per capita
waste generation varies between 2.75 and 4.0 kgs./day in high income countries, but is as low
as 0.5 kgs./day in those countries with lowest income.
Generation not only varies from place to place but also from season to season in the same
place. During summer the refuse generation in Indian cities is increased by about 25% due to
consumption of fruits like mangoes, melons, green coconuts etc. A typical variation in physico-
chemical characteristics of MSW at Kolkata is summarized below.

Though substantial amount of paper, rags, glass find ways to the refuse near its source, they are
reclaimed enroot by rag pickers, before reaching the disposal point. The waste reaching the
disposal point contains a large percentage of garbage and inorganic matter giving it a higher
density low calorific value.
An analysis of physical characteristic of general solid waste was done as a part of a study
carried out by National Environmental Engineering Research Institute (NEERI) in 1995 across
various cities with population range from 0.1 million to 5 million yielded the following results.

The largest low moisture constituent of MSW is paper. Other low moisture combustible materials
are plastics, textiles, rubber, leather and wood. These materials can be called Dry
Combustibles in distinction to the Wet Combustibles of food, plant and other wastes, which
contain 50-70% of water. Non Combustibles are metal, glasses and other inorganic
compounds that have no heating value.
Health impacts of MSW
Wastes that are not properly managed, especially excreta and other liquid and solid wastes from
household and the community, create serious health hazards and lead to infectious diseases.
Unattended wastes lying around attract flies, rats and other vectors in turn spreading diseases.
Normally, it is the wet wastes that decompose and release bad odour. This leads to unhygienic
conditions thereby causing a rise in health problems. Thus excessive solid waste that is
generated should be controlled by taking certain preventive measures.
The group at risk from the unscientific disposal of solid wastes include the population in areas
where there is no proper waste disposal method, especially pre-school children; waste workers
in facilities producing toxic and infectious materials. Other high-risk groups include population
living close to a waste dump and those, whose water supply has become contaminated either
due to waste dumping or leachate from landfill site. Uncollected solid wastes also increases risk
of injury and infections.
In particular, organic domestic waste poses a serious threat, since they ferment, creating
conditions favourable to the survival and growth of micro-biol pathogens. Direct handling of solid
wastes can result in various types of infectious and chronic diseases with the waste workers and
the rag pickers being the most vulnerable.
Legislation and policies on MSW management
The Draft Municipal Solid Waste (Management & Handling) Rules 1999 published under the
Notification of the Govt. of India in the Min. of Env. & Forests No. S. O. 783 (E) dt. 27.09.1999 in
the Gazette of India. Then in exercise of the powers conferred by Section 3, 6 & 25 of the E.P.
Act, 1986 Cent. Govt. has notified this Rule as Municipal Solid Wastes (Management &
Handling) Rules 2000 published on 25.09.2000. It is the primary regulatory instrument for
governing solid waste throughout India. It is administrated nationally by CPCB and State
Governments are responsible for implementation of the MSW Rules at the State level.

Some of the salient features of MSW Rules are :
1) Every municipal authority shall, within the territorial area of the municipality be responsible for
the implementation of the provision of these Rules and for any infrastructure development for
collection, storage, segregation, transportation, processing and disposal of MSW.
2) Littering of MSW shall be prohibited in cities, towns and in urban areas notified by the
municipal authority.
3) Municipalities must ensure that BMW and industrial wastes are not mixed with MSW and
managed in accordance with Bio-Medical Waste (Management & Handling) Amendment
Rules, 2003 and the Hazardous Waste (Management & Handling) Amendment Rules, 2003.
4) In order to encourage the citizens, Municipal Authority shall organize awareness program for
segregation of wastes and shall promote recycling or reuse of segregated materials.
5) Municipal Authority shall establish and maintain storage facilities in such a manner as they
do not create unhygienic and insanitary conditions around it.
6) Vehicles used for transportation of wastes shall be covered. Waste should not be visible to
public, nor exposed to open environment preventing their scattering.
7) Municipal Authorities shall adopt suitable technology or combination of such technologies to
make use of wastes so as to minimize burden on landfill.
8) Landfilling should be restricted to non-biodegradable, inert wastes and other wastes that are
not suitable either for recycling or biological processing, viz. drain silts, compost residue, etc.
9) The Municipal Authority or an operator of a facility shall make an application for grant of
Authorization for setting up waste processing and disposal facilities including landfill from
State Board or the Committee.
Bio Medical Waste
The waste generating by the health care units are termed as bio-medical waste. The hospital
waste has always been considered potentially hazardous. The disposal of untreated bio-medical
wastes poses an environmental and public health risk. It also presents an occupational health
hazards to the health care personnel who handle these wastes at the point of generation, and
those involved with their management i.e. segregation, storage, transport, treatment and
disposal. The indiscriminate disposal of untreated wastes are the causes to spread the infectious
9
-
7/29/2019 Biomedical waste inventory
18/115
diseases. Apart from these, a good amount of bio-medical wastes such as disposable syringes,
saline bottles, I.V. fluid bottles etc. etc. are picked up by the rag pickers and are recycled back
into the market without any disinfections. It is imperative, therefore, to adopt appropriate system
for the safe collection, storage, transport, treatment and disposal of the hospital wastes. realizing
the seriousness of the problems associated with the poor management of the bio-medical
wastes, the Govt. of India had notified the Bio-Medical Waste (Management & Handling) Rules
in the years 1998 in order to regulate the environmental menace due to mismanagement of the
hospital waste.
Generation and composition
Waste generation and composition from health care units depends upon a number of factorssuch as waste management methods, type of health care units, occupancy of healthcare unit,
specialization of the healthcare unit, ratio of reusable items in use, availability of infrastructure
and resources etc.
According to a WHO report, around 85% of the hospital wastes are actually non-hazardous, 10%
are infectious and 5% are non-infectious but hazardous. A study conducted by Vatavaran, a
NGO, in Delhi shows an average waste generation of 1.5 kgs./bed/day and around 45.5% of the
total wastes is infectious in nature.
Whereas, a rapid survey covering 10 hospitals in Mumbai carried out by Hospital Inspection
Society of India shows that waste generation vary between 0.6 to 2.1 kgs./bed/day.
A study conducted by the All India Institute of Hygiene and Public Health, Kolkata concluded that
General waste containing food wastes, paper, plastics, floor sweeping, discarded glassware,
earth pot etc. constitute bulk (56-78% by weight) of the hospital waste.
Waste generated in large government hospitals in Kolkata, private hospitals and nursing
homes ranges between 1044 gms/bed/day and 1368 gms/bed/day whereas waste generated
in large government hospitals in districts are comparatively low 397 gms/bed/day.
Incinerable waste constitutes 19-30% (by weight) of the total waste generated.
During the year 2002-2003 the waste survey have been carried out at different Govt. hospitals of
various categories in West Bengal. The average generation of different types of healthcare
waste for different categories of hospitals is tabulated below.

Health impacts of BMW
The hazardous component of health care waste may contain infectious agents, toxic and
hazardous chemicals and pharmaceuticals, radioactive materials and sharps that can cause
health hazards to hospital patients, healthcare workers and the general public at large.
Poor hospital waste management may cause the following diseases :
Hepatitis B & C
HIV positive
Gastro-enteric infections
Respiratory infections
Blood stream infections
Skin infections Radioactive toxicity
Health problem associated with air and water pollution.
Apart from the above mentioned incidents, there are other environmental problems associated
with untreated BMW generated from the healthcare units, which are as follows :
Decomposing waste may generate foul odour inside hospital premises and surrounding area.
Drains may be clogged with waste materials creating unhygienic environment within the
surrounding hospital premises. This phenomenon may also help in breading of
mosquitoes/flies that might contribute to spreading of infectious diseases.
Waste dump may attract stray animals and birds that might spread waste materials leading
to unaesthetic and unhygienic environment.
Indiscriminate disposal of pharmaceutical products (antibiotics and cytotoxic drugs) and
discharge of untreated wastewater generated from the health care units could have
disastrous ecological effects.
11

Open dump of waste may decompose to produce leachate that might contaminate ground
water.
Uncontrolled and open burning of wastes can generate dioxins and furans, thus polluting theair.
Rules framed for the BMW management
The Ministry of Environment and Forest (MoEF), Govt. of India, notified the Bio-Medical Waste
(Management and Handling) Rules in July 1998 under the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986,
through Gazette notification S.O. 630(E). Thereafter, the Bio-Medical Waste (Management and
Handling) Rules were amended twice in the year 2000 and the last amendment was made in the
year 2003. The first amendment was published on 6th March 2000 vide S.O. 210(E) and second
amendment was published on 2nd June 2000 vide the Gazette Notification S.O. 545(E), third
Amendment was published on 17th September 2003 vide Gazette Notification S.O. 1069(E).
These rules regulate the generation, handling, collection, storage, transport, treatment and
disposal of Bio-Medial Wastes.
Some of the salient features of these rules are as follows :
1) These rules are applicable to the Hospitals, Nursing Homes, Veterinary Institutions,
Pathological Laboratories and Clinics, Blood Banks, etc. generating bio-medical wastes.
2) The State Pollution Control Board/Pollution Control Committee is the prescribed authority for
the implementation of the Rules in the Sates/Union Territories.
3) Every occupier of the health care units generating, collecting, receiving, storing, transporting,
treating, disposing and/or handling BMW in any other manner, except such occupier of
clinics, dispensaries, pathological laboratories, blood banks providing treatment/service to
less than 1000 (one thousand) patients per month, shall make an application in Form-I to the
prescribed authority for grant of authorization.
4) The prescribed authority shall on receipt of Form-I make such enquiry as it deems fit and if it
is satisfied that the applicant possesses the necessary capacity to handle the BMW in
accordance with the Rules, grant or renew an authorization as the case may be.
5) The Onus of the treatment of the BMW squarely lies with the occupier of the health care
units.
12

West Bengal is one of the eastern states of India (situated between 2131'N to 2714'N and 85
51'E to 8900'E longitude). West Bengal is the gateway to the beautiful northeastern states of
India. Its capital Calcutta (now Kolkata) was once the capital of the British Empire and still
remains the cultural capital of India with a strong tradition in literature and fine arts.
The climate in general is tropical type, but West Bengal has a variety in its landscape. In south,
worlds largest river-delta delta of the river Ganges Sundarbans (partly in Bangladesh), a
world famous mangrove forest
and tiger reserve area under
South 24 Parganas District, and
some areas of this district and
East-Midnapore have coastal
areas (Bakkhali, Sagar, in South
24-Parganas District and Digha,
Frazergunj, in East Midnapore
Dist.) and port (Haldia in East
Midnapore). Parts of West
Midnapore, Purulia, Bankura
Districts have rough and dry
type of soil, and also some
undulating areas. In North,
mainly Darjeeling, Jalpaiguri
and Coochbehar Districts are
touching the Himalayan
mountain range. Other parts are
mainly plain.
The total area of West Bengal is 87,853 sq. km. It is Indias 12th largest State. In the north West
Bengal touches the Indian States of Assam (north-east) and Sikkim (north) and shares
international borders with Bhutan (north), Nepal (north-west) and Bangladesh (east). To the
western end it touches Orissa, Bihar and Jharkhand. The southern plains of the State are criss-
crossed with a network of rivers, the major being Bhagirathi and tributaries. The Bhagirathi itself
known as Hooghly in the lower reaches is part of the river Ganga. The two great rivers, Ganga
and Brahmaputra, merge to form great deltas at the mouth of the Bay of Bengal before they
drain out into the sea.
