Collection of wet, dry and domestic hazardous waste separately ensures maximum recovery of recyclables.
Waste collection services are divided into primary and secondary collection.
Primary collection refers to the process of collecting, lifting and removal of segregated solid waste from source of its generation including households, shops, offices, markets, hotels, institutions and other residential or non-residential premises and taking the waste to a storage depot or transfer station or directly to the disposal site, depending on the size of the city and the waste management system prevalent in the city. Primary collection must ensure separate collection of certain waste streams or fractions depending on the separation and reuse system applied by the respective town or city
Secondary collection includes picking up waste from community bins, waste storage depots, or transfer stations and transporting it to waste processing sites or to the final disposal site. At the secondary collection points, segregated waste must be stored on-site in separate covered bins or containers for further collection and should be kept separate during all steps of waste collection, transportation, and processing. Further, ULBs should ensure that at the secondary storage points the waste is should be attended daily or before container starts overflowing.
