Primary Waste Collection |
|
Objectives
- To collect the waste generated from households and small commercial establishments.
- To provide adequate facility at markets and temples to collect bulk waste.
- To keep the area around the bins clean and hygienic.
- To reduce the manual handling of waste.
- To maintain the equipment and undertake repairs on time.
- Provision of an additional inventory as spares to compensate for breakdowns.
- To attend to the complaints from the public.
- To conduct Awareness programs.
- To educate residents to deposit the waste in a segregated manner to maintain maximum efficiency and cleanliness.
Operation
- Door to door collection of waste via tricycles and their helpers.
- Door to door collection of waste via mechanized mini hoppers.
- Transfer to closest bin location.
- Operations on a schedule to maintain maximum efficiency & coverage.
- Separate bins & collection vehicles for commercial establishment.

Secondary Waste Collection |
|
Objectives
- Deployment of mechanized, rear loading haulers will be based on the size of the roads, generation of waste and the maneuverability in the prescribed locations.
- The vehicles will be earmarkedfor allocated routes to optimize travel along small lanes, slum areas, wide roads & long distance transportation.
- Specific route chart will be followed & assigned to each vehicleensuring the clearing of bins in the desired sequence.
- Waste generated in critical areas will be lifted during the night shiftsto avoid traffic congestion &public inconvenience.
- During festival days (Dasara, Holi, GaneshChdurthi, Deepavali, Pongal, etc.) the waste generated will be cleared by deploying excess vehicles & manpower to accommodate for the need.
- During bin lifting the helpers are to clear the bin, collect the waste around the bin and spread the disinfectant material around the bin.
Maintenance programs for community bins:
- We intend to have teams(one team for each zone) providing the needed vehicles &equipment (For examplea welding machine and additional wheels forspot welds) to attend to speedy bin repair.
- The teams will work under the control of our maintenance wing.
- The assigned team is to check a specific number of wards every day & submit a compliance report.
- Vigilance team consisting of management staff will perform random checksto ensure the proper maintenance of the bins.
- The bins will be washed once every fortnight.
- On a separate note we are saddened by the fact that certain individuals would resort to theft and vandalism of property serving our beloved city. To this we have taken precautions like doing away with the nut bolt system of the wheels. In place the wheel plate is welded to the bin.

Tertiary Transportation to Processing Site |
|
- Tertiary transports form the transfer stations are done by hydraulic compacted bins.
- This is the most efficient transportation of the waste while ensuring the secure transfer of waste during transport.
- In the case that the bins are not available, tippers with appropriate covering will be used.

Reception of Waste
- Vehicles, drivers and payload weight logged
Tipping Floor/ Pre-sorting
- Vehicles directed to displace the waste on a secure platform in specified piles.
- Via cranes, bobcats, dozers and the staff, waste fed to the trommels for separation.
- On separation smaller particles sent to the Windrow platform.
- The larger particles sent to the refuse derived fuel (RDF) bunker.
Windrow Platform (Aerobic Composting)
- Organic waste composted for a month via the help of EM culture.
- Continuous overturning & transfer of the compost via cranes.
- Different heaps signifying different maturation levels.
Monsoon Shed (Aerobic Composting)
- The composted material is fed through two successive trommels for further separation.
- The Smaller particles are moved to the curing shed.
- The larger particles are either sent to the landfill or to the RDF bunker.
Curing Shed (Aerobic Composting)
- The material is spread out to cure
- The material is then passed through a final trommel as well as a de-stoner.
Storing & Packing facility:
- The composted material which is of a consistent fine texture is now stored in heaps.
- The EM culture coupled with the well timed process yields a nutrient rich, safe byproduct
- The material is packed and sent to fertilizer companies.
Recycling Shed:
- Segregation at source is not always carried out by, resulting in mixed solid waste.
- Hyderabad Integrated MSW Limited secondary segregation at the site to ensures removal of part of the plastics.
- Plastic Granulation is also carried out.
Leachate management Systems:
- Prior to the handing over of the Jawaharnagar site, the acreage was used as a dumpsite which spawned unknown amounts of leachate and outflow into the local water bodies.
- Lake Malkaram for example has been contaminated with said leachate.
- Over time Hyderabad Integrated MSW Limited, has brought down levels of leachate in the lake through cleaning efforts and created barriers to prevent the leaching out of liquids.
- The site mapping has provided us with the gradation and the general flow of the leachate from the past dump to begin damage control.
- Several solar evaporation ponds are used to maintain and check the flow of leachate along with concrete reinforced channels.
Leachate Treatment Plant:
- Leachate treatment facility.
- Through Curing, Reverse Osmosis and UV treatment, the leachate generated can be converted to a usable form of water.
Projects
- RDF bunker
- RDF fluff, or briquettes, to be used as fuel.
- Waste to energy plant, to feed energy back into the grid.
- Given our extensive knowledge with waste management, Hyderabad Integrated MSW Limited has a proposal to start a training school, to equip future employable individuals with MSW training.
Landfill
- Prior to the setup of Hyderabad Integrated MSW LiHyderabad Integrated MSW Limited, the Jawaharnagar site was used as a 350 acre dumping grounds.
- All of the city's garbage was essentially brought to the site and piled high.
- After a few years of dedicated effort by our committed staff and worker, we are proud to say that the site and the intended infrastructure & facilities are coming along as schedueled.
- Currently a fraction of the material bought to the site is disposed of in a landfill.
- The landfill follows all of the MSW 2000 rules, including multiple liners, compacted soil and leachate monitoring wells to assess the nature of the landfill & the safety of the surrounding land.
