Effective Solid Waste Segregation for Sustainable Disposal: Model for Coimbatore City, India

Waste removal and disposal is an essential public service for any community. In terms of a community's health, proper trash disposal is crucial. It is essential for the well-being of the city as a whole and the waste has to be gathered and disposed of in an appropriate manner. Garbage as a proportion of the world's total waste has been increasing over time. Household waste currently makes up the majority of garbage in Coimbatore. The user's morning routine will be disrupted because trash collection is scheduled for the busiest time of the day. Since garbage is still not picked up on a fixed schedule, managing the trash on a regular basis is a pain. Community trash cans are another option; however, they are not emptied frequently and cannot hold much trash for an extended period of time. Over 80% of trash is dumped in landfills, while only 20% is recycled. This expanding population necessitates the annual allocation of additional land. Pollutants and land contamination are just two of the environmental problems caused by landfills. The door-to-door collection should be the first step in the trash collection process. Enhancing collection frequency and efficiency will be the main priority. There will be advantages in using cutting-edge technology that evaluates garbage based on volume rather than weight. As a result, landfills can be situated on less land and more money can be made from more efficient waste sorting and collection.
