Hyderabad Integrated MSW Limited is the organization chosen to operate & maintain facilities to manage the Municipal Solid Waste for the city of Hyderabad.

The GHMC finalized an Integrated Municipal Solid Waste Management Project under Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission (JNNURM) and decided to implement it under Public Private Partnership (PPP). Following the award of the project the GHMC and HIMSW entered into an agreement on the 21st February 2009.

The first task in implementing the project was to set up the new entity, to be the vehicle to implement and operate the project. To effectively implement and successful operate the project, HIMSW formed a new company in the name of "Hyderabad Integrated MSW Limited". Hyderabad Integrated MSW Limited is presently the entity responsible for the implementation and operations of the entire project.

Hyderabad Integrated MSW Limited currently processes about 4500 tons of garbage a day, brought from every part of the city. Hyderabad Integrated MSW Limited aims to conduct the collection and transport as well as the processing and disposal of the city's municipal waste, serving the city from the collection of the municipal waste from house to house, all the way to its secure processing facility in Jawaharnagar. As a private operator Hyderabad Integrated MSW Limited will improve the efficiency of the existing systems of collection, segregation, transportation and disposal of municipal solid waste. The plan is to phase in the five zones currently serviced by the GHMC, and provide a more efficient service to the Hyderabadi community.

The growth of Municipal Solid Waste has outpaced the growth of the population due to the increasing urbanization and industrialization, resulting in changes in lifestyles, food habits & living standards. The increase in non-degradable waste is alarming. The production and consumption of non-degradable material has increased tenfold, the vast majority of which finds its way to Dumpsites. Urban Local Bodies face the massive challenge of managing this Solid waste as per the Municipal Solid Wastes (Managing & Handling) Rules of the year 2000. The solution lies in educating our citizens to socially responsible practices that can be passed down through the generations along with safe, efficient waste recycling & disposal.
