Bin Free City Initiative (Segregation, Collection and Transportation of Solid Waste in Indore)

Budget : 129 Lakh (1.29 Crore)

Innovation Type (Process/ Product): Process

About the Project:

The initiative started in a phased manner from March 2016 to December 2016. Effective Door to Door (D2D) collection reduced the garbage on roads and open areas. On critical bin locations, 3 times movement of D2D garbage collecting vehicle is done. The waste is collected through partitioned vehicles known as ‘Tippers’ and is transported to one of the ten transfer stations. The wet waste from semi bulk generators generating 25 to 100 kg of waste is collected through the Bulk Collection System. All vehicles used in the collection and transportation system are monitored by a GPS enabled tracking system. The GPS system is constantly monitored by the monitoring cell. The supply, installation, implementation and maintenance of GPS based Vehicle Tracking Solution (VTS) for MSW, CCTV cameras at community and public toilets and integration of weighbridge at Devguradia landfill site all together had a total cost of 1.29 crore. Along with the GPS and RFID trackers, the city also has a ‘Push to Talk System.’
