More than 12,000 micro-pockets have been demarcated in all the ULBs.
These micro-pockets are proposed to be served by about 35,000 Public Health
(PH) Workers and close to 6000 municipal functionaries whose responsibilities
are related to public health and sanitation (Fig. 4).
Primary collection is specific to a micro-pocket. 2–3 Public Health (PH)
Workers are dedicated for each residential area micro-pocket. In case if a
micro-pocket includes main road sweeping and drains cleaning activities, an
additional worker is allocated in such a micro-pocket (DMA&UD 2015).
The sanitation and solid waste collection activities in a residential micropocket include:
i. Daily collection of source segregated solid waste (wet, dry and hazardous
waste separately) at the doors of the households, shops, vendors and public
places and transferring it to designated disposal places such as transfer
station, compost or material recovery yard, landfill facility.
ii. Daily (manual) sweeping of streets, footpaths, pavements and open spaces
and removal of any litter in these areas, and removal of animal carcasses.
iii. Daily cleaning and removal of garbage, litter, silt or blocks from the street
side shallow surface drains.
iv. Periodic cleaning of shallow surface and storm water drains (other than
underground sewerage drains).
v. Disinfectant spraying, shrubs cutting, removing earthen heaps and or any
other vector control activities as specified by the ULB (Department of
Municipal Administration and Urban Development 2015).
The approach here was to make same group of workers responsible for all the
above-mentioned activities in designated micro-pocket for better monitoring
and management of work unlike traditional approach where different set of
workers carry out collection of waste, sweeping and drain cleaning, etc. and
create blame game for poor quality of work delivery.
5 Approach and Methodology
The methodology adopted to design and develop capacity building programme
included following steps and activities:
• Stakeholders Engagement: The process involved identification and listing of
various officials at different hierarchy within ULB’s who were associated with
Solid Waste Management. This was a very crucial step in designing capacity
building programme. Success of these guidelines fully depends of its adaptability
within these stakeholders.
