NEW DELHI: Highlighting how a large share of municipal waste can be prevented from getting dumped at landfills by recycling them, a report prepared by the housing and urban development ministry has recommended a complete ban on the disposal of recyclables at such sites. It has also recommended state pollution control boards and urban development and industry departments introduce a tax for the dumping of all municipal waste in landfills
The report comes at a time when cities are struggling to get rid of mountains of municipal wastes, including the three such big legacy dumpsites in Delhi. Cities are also finding it difficult to find new landfill sites.
The report titled 'Circular Economy in Municipal Solid and Liquid Waste' said: "Disposing of recyclables in landfills/dumpsites not only leads to loss of valued resources but also causes environmental pollution." It has also recommended that the government reduce the GST and other taxes on products made from recycled materials to 5% to encourage the recycling of waste.
The report prepared by experts from the IITs reputed research institutes, and government entities gain importance as a large share of untreated and unprocessed municipal wastes reach dump yards or get into water bodies and pose a major crisis amid a spurt in urbanization with little planning to tackle such challenges.
It has been estimated that proper treatment of municipal solid, wet, and construction wastes can generate nearly Rs 30,000 crore revenue per annum and create employment opportunities for more than one crore people by 2025. Currently, India generates approximately 1.4 lakh tonnes of solid waste daily and 35% of this is dry waste. A major share of dry waste is plastic. The report says that approximately 26,000 tonnes of plastic waste is generated daily and out of these only 15,600 tonnes are recycled. Around 9,400 tonnes are left uncollected and these go to the landfills or water bodies.
The report has estimated that material recycling facilities can help improve recovery from the current Rs 5,187 crore per annum from dry municipal waste to Rs 17,023 crore by 2025.

Felt no urge to argue with the conclusions even though I started the post slightly skeptical, and a look at fullertonrecall maintained that pattern, writing that earns agreement through clarity of argument rather than rhetorical pressure is the kind I find most persuasive and the kind I want to read more of these days.

Speaking as someone who used to recommend blogs frequently and got out of the habit this site is rekindling that impulse, and a look at yungbludcomic extended the rekindling, the recovery of an old habit triggered by encountering work that justifies it is itself a small kind of pleasure and this site is providing that recovery experience.
IraErege
Liked the careful word choice throughout, every term seemed picked for a reason rather than thrown in casually, and a stop at vexaroline continued that precise style, this kind of attention to small details is what separates careful writing from the usual rushed content that dominates blog spaces today across pretty much every topic I follow.
Nealfep
Really thankful for posts that respect a reader’s time, this one does, and a quick look at tatumsounds was the same, no need to scroll through endless intros just to get to the actual content, that approach alone is enough reason to come back here regularly for the kind of writing offered.
SheldonHit
Came in skeptical of the angle and left mostly persuaded, and a stop at naviroline pushed me a bit further in the same direction, content that can move a critical reader by argument rather than rhetoric is rare and worth pointing out because it indicates real substance underneath the surface presentation here.
RogerWeign
Closed several other tabs to focus on this one as I read, and a stop at zaviroplex held my undivided attention the same way, content that earns full focus in an attention environment full of competing pulls is content doing something genuinely well and the team behind it deserves recognition for that achievement consistently.
LionelLag
Probably this is one of the better quiet successes on the open web at the moment, and a look at discoverprofessionalgrowth reinforced that quiet success quality, sites that are doing well without making a noise about doing well are the sites I most respect and this one has clearly chosen the quiet success path consistently throughout.
Eganenave
Liked that the post left some questions open rather than pretending to settle everything, and a stop at jonathanfinngamino continued that intellectual honesty, content that respects the limits of its own claims is more trustworthy than content that overreaches and this site has clearly figured out which positions it can defend confidently.
Ricobex
Thanks for taking the time to write this, it is clear that some thought went into how each point would land, and after I went through vexaropartners I had a better grip on the topic, real value without the usual marketing noise people have to put up with online when searching for answers.

Bookmark added with a small mental note that this is a site to keep, and a look at vixaroline reinforced the keep status, the verb keep rather than visit captures something about how I think about this kind of site and it is a higher tier of relationship than I have with most places online today.
Donaldrhymn
This one is staying open in a tab for the rest of the day so I can come back and re read certain parts, and a look at nevirontrustco suggests I will be doing the same with a few more pages here too, this is going to be a deep dive over the coming hours.
GunnerUncot
Will be coming back to this for sure, too much good content to absorb in one sitting, and a stop at strategicgrowthpartnerships only added more pages I want to dig through, this site is going onto my regular rotation list because it consistently delivers something worth the visit lately rather than empty filler.
Xanderphide
This stands out compared to similar posts I have read recently, less noise and more substance, and a look at maverotrustline kept that gap going, you can really feel the difference between content made by someone who cares versus content made to fill a publishing schedule for an algorithm trying to keep growing somehow.
Frankfup
Reading this slowly to absorb the structure, and the structure is doing real work alongside the words, and a look at AlmostFashionableMovie maintained the same architectural quality, when sentence shapes and paragraph rhythms reinforce the meaning rather than just transporting words you know you are reading skilled work today.
TodNiz
Liked the way the post got out of its own way, and a stop at pandemoniumtheshow extended that invisible craft, the best writing you barely notice while reading because it is doing its work without drawing attention to itself and this site has clearly mastered that disappearing act across the pieces I have read.
Emersonquots
Liked that the post left some questions open rather than pretending to settle everything, and a stop at sunnyflowercases continued that intellectual honesty, content that respects the limits of its own claims is more trustworthy than content that overreaches and this site has clearly figured out which positions it can defend confidently.
Josephmum
Top quality material, deserves more attention than it probably gets, and a look at maverotrustco reflected the same effort across the site, a hidden gem in the modern web where most attention goes to whoever shouts loudest rather than whoever actually delivers the best content for their readers without much marketing fanfare.
Laneblads
Speaking from the perspective of having read widely on the topic this site offers something distinct, and a look at dankglassonline reinforced that distinctness, the rare site that contributes something genuinely original to a saturated topic is the rare site worth following carefully and this one has demonstrated that original contribution capability today.
BartWed
Decided not to skim despite my usual habit and was rewarded for the discipline, and a stop at morix earned the same patient approach, training myself to recognise sites that warrant slower reading is part of being a careful online reader and this site is the kind that helps me practice that skill regularly.
JonathanAborn
Solid information that lines up with what I have been hearing from other reliable sources, and after my visit to moeinclub I was even more certain of that, this site checks out which is something I value highly when so many places online play loose with the facts to chase a quick click.
Nevillegen
A small editorial detail caught my attention, the way headings related to body text, and a look at pg-o2o maintained that careful relationship, structural details like that show up to readers who notice them and the writers here have clearly thought about every level of the piece rather than just the words.
Jaylenbip
Comfortable in tone and substantive in content, that is a hard combination to land, and a look at spikeisland2020 kept that pairing alive across more material, this is what good editorial direction looks like in practice and the team here clearly has someone keeping a steady hand on the wheel across what they decide to publish.
Luisdoodo
Even across multiple posts the writers voice has remained consistent in a way I appreciate, and a stop at qorivobonding continued that voice, sites that maintain editorial consistency across many pieces have something most sites lack and this one has clearly worked out how to keep its voice steady across what reads as a growing archive.
RoccoRap
Taking the time to read carefully here has been worthwhile for the past hour, and a look at corecompanynyc extended the worthwhile reading, the calculation of return on reading time spent is something I do informally and this site has been producing positive returns across multiple sessions during the last week of regular visits and reads.
Brianaluth
Looking at this objectively the editorial quality is hard to deny even setting aside personal taste, and a stop at xanerotrust maintained the same objective quality, the gap between what I personally enjoy and what is objectively well crafted exists and this site clears both bars simultaneously which is rarer than it sounds.
BradleyAbith
Glad to find something on this topic that does not start with three paragraphs of throat clearing before getting to the point, and a stop at ManilaTakeout also dives right in, respect for the readers time shows up in small editorial choices like this and they add up to a real difference quickly.

So — been on this thing for about six months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, reckon I’d say something since a lad on another thread asked me a few days back. I’m in the UK, generally bet football and racing, small stakes, for context.
What got me on it was actually pretty stupid — I never could figure out what an each way return actually was when the place terms changed. Basically I’d wing it and then be surprised. These days I punch the numbers in before every slip, even a simple single bet.
The single bet calculator tool is the one I’m on daily — you put in the price and your stake and it spits out the return with no faffing, fractions or decimals. There’s also the bigger stuff — trebles returns, lucky 15s, yankees, which is where most people I know mess it up. If you fancy a poke about, it’s here [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/dutch]dutching bet calculator[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
The thing that genuinely shifted things for me was the more serious extras. The odds-to-probability converter that shows how much the bookie’s taking, and there’s the kelly tool — I use half kelly because full kelly is far too aggressive. The dutch tool is decent for when I’m covering two or three runners.
Couple of gripes. Its layout feels pretty plain — not much flash, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. On mobile it’s fine but the lucky 63 breakdown make you pinch and zoom. And no proper app, it’s a website and that’s it — fine by me just flagging it.
So yeah. Doesn’t cost anything, not plastered in adverts, does the job. Anyone who honestly does the maths on paper, have a look — saved me a fair few dumb bets I’d have regretted.

Reading this confirmed something I had been suspecting about the topic, and a look at ulvionbond pushed that confirmation toward greater confidence, content that lines up with independently held intuitions earns a special kind of trust and I will return to writers who consistently land that way for me without overselling positions.
IssacDix
Excellent execution from start to finish, the post never loses its rhythm and the points stay sharp, and a quick stop at sega-live kept the same level going, consistency like this across a site is the marker of a serious operation rather than a casual side project running on autopilot somewhere else.
BruceFaupe
Liked that the post acknowledged complications rather than pretending they did not exist, and a stop at ravionline continued that honest framing, sites that handle complexity with care rather than papering it over with simplifying claims are doing real intellectual work and this one is clearly in that category based on what I have read.

Coming back tomorrow when I can give this a proper read, the post deserves better attention than I can give right now, and a look at xelariotrustco suggests there is plenty more here that deserves the same treatment, definitely a site I will be exploring properly over the next few days when I can.
WyattLom
Liked that there was nothing performative about the writing, and a stop at zylavocapital continued that genuine quality, performative writing tries to be witnessed rather than read and the difference between performance and substance is huge for the careful reader and this site has clearly chosen substance every time clearly.
LukeFer
Now wishing I had found this site sooner, and a look at cnsbiodesk extended that mild regret, the calculation of how many years of good content I missed by not finding the right sources earlier is one I try not to make too often but it does come up sometimes when I find sites this good.
KeatonPab
A genuine compliment to the writer for keeping the post focused on what mattered, and a look at almostfashionablemovie continued that disciplined focus, focus is a editorial choice that compounds across many small decisions and this site has clearly made those small decisions consistently across what I have read so far this week here.
ColbyInect
Reading this in the morning set a good tone for the day, and a quick visit to dondatheverge kept that good tone going, content can do that sometimes when it hits the right notes and finding sites that consistently strike that tone is something I have learned to recognise and reward with regular visits.
ChrisVox
The clarity here is something I really appreciate, especially compared to sites that pile on jargon for no reason, and a look at nolarobond was the same, simple direct sentences that actually deliver information instead of dancing around the point for paragraphs at a time which wastes reader patience.
Kylehoono
Found something quietly useful here that I expect to return to, and a stop at shopthomasashbourne added more of the same, content with quiet utility ages well in a way that flashy hot takes do not and I have learned to weight quiet utility much higher when deciding what to bookmark for later use.
Jeffersonnit
Skipped the related products section because there was none, and a stop at ulvirocore also lacked any aggressive monetisation, content that is not constantly trying to convert me into a customer or subscriber is content that has confidence in its own value and that confidence shows up as a different reading experience.
RussellOneno
Came away with some new perspectives I had not considered before, and after samsungfoundryforum those ideas felt more complete, the kind of content that stays with you a little while after reading rather than slipping out the moment you switch tabs and move on with your day to whatever comes next.

Now sitting back and recognising that this was a small but real win in my reading day, and a stop at xelariounion extended that quiet win, the cumulative effect of small reading wins versus the cumulative effect of small reading losses is real over time and this site is contributing to the wins side of that ledger.
Deondeery
Liked the post enough to read it twice and the second read found new things, and a stop at qorivotrustco similarly rewarded the second look, content with hidden depths that only reveal themselves on careful rereading is the rare kind that earns lasting respect rather than fleeting first impressions only briefly held.
Bjornsweem
Really appreciate that the writer did not assume I would read every other related post first, and a look at customerfirstshoppinghub kept that self contained feel going where each piece can stand alone, accessibility for new readers is a sign of generous editorial thinking and this site has clearly invested in that approach.
WadeGop
Really grateful for content like this, it does not waste my time and it does not insult my intelligence either, and a quick look at nolaroline was the same, balanced respectful writing that makes a person feel welcome rather than rushed through pages of forced engagement just to keep clicking around.
Russellbug
Came back to this an hour later to reread a specific section, and a quick visit to xalirobond also drew a second look, content that pulls you back rather than letting you move on permanently is the kind I want to fill my browser bookmarks with in 2026 and beyond as the open internet evolves.
Todsmift
A piece that did not lean on the writer credentials or institutional backing, and a look at zorivohold maintained the same focus on substance, content that earns trust through quality rather than through name dropping is the kind I find most persuasive and this site is clearly playing on the substance side of that distinction.
KerrySniRl
A welcome contrast to the loud takes that have dominated my feed lately, and a look at closingamericasjobgap extended that calm voice, content that arrives without yelling has become unusual in the modern attention economy and this site is one of the few places I have found that consistently delivers without raising its voice.
Avicef
Thanks for the simple approach, too many sites bury the actual point under layers of unnecessary words, but here every line earns its place, and a look at deathrayvision showed the same care for the reader which is something I will remember the next time I need answers on a topic.
