Abstract:

The study was carried out in the five types of residential area in national capital region in India: Slum, Pucca Slum, Camp area, Colony and, Apartments during the month of June 2010. Typically one to two thirds of the solid waste generated is not collected. As a result, the uncollected waste, which is often also mixed with human and animal excreta, is dumped indiscriminately in the streets and in drains, so contributing to flooding, breeding of insect and rodent vectors and the spread of diseases. Furthermore, even collected waste is often disposed of in uncontrolled dumpsites and/or burnt, polluting water resources and air.
