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.

Bookmark added with a small note about why, and a look at nomnomnomfordogs prompted another bookmark with another note, the bookmarks I annotate are the ones I expect to return to deliberately rather than stumble into and this site is generating annotated bookmarks at a higher rate than my usual content sources by some margin.

A piece that respected the reader by not over explaining the obvious, and a look at abbysauce continued that calibrated approach, finding the right level of explanation is one of the harder editorial calls and this site has clearly thought carefully about what readers will already know versus what they need help with consistently.

Glad I clicked through from where I did because this turned out to be worth the time spent, and after saratogapolarexpressride I had a fuller picture, the kind of content that earns its visitors through delivering value rather than chasing them through aggressive advertising or constant pop ups appearing everywhere on the screen lately.

Now thinking about this site as a small example of what good independent writing looks like, and a stop at findgos continued that exemplary status, the few sites that serve as good examples are sites worth holding up in conversations about quality and this one has earned that exemplary placement through patient consistent effort over time.
Dorianlum
Even just sampling a few posts the consistency is what stands out, and a look at xaneroholdings confirmed the broader pattern, sites where every piece I sample lives up to the standard set by the others are sites with serious quality control and this one has clearly invested in whatever editorial process produces that consistency reliably.
JoeEsora
Liked that the post landed without needing to manufacture controversy or take a contrarian stance for attention, and a stop at formative-coffee continued that grounded approach, content that earns attention through quality rather than provocation is the kind that builds long term trust rather than burning it on quick wins.
Sterlingerats
Found this really helpful, the explanations are simple but they actually answer the questions a normal reader would have, and after I followed FreeSpeechColation I had a clearer sense of the topic, no extra fluff just useful points laid out in a sensible order that made the time worth it.
Tristanjar
Reading this with a fresh mind in the morning brought out details I might have missed in the afternoon, and a stop at brandonlangexperts earned the same fresh attention, content that rewards being read at full attention rather than at energy lows is content with real density and this site has that density consistently.
FelixAbazy
Just wanted to say this was useful and leave a small note of thanks, and a quick visit to kryvoxline earned a similar nod from me, the small acknowledgements add up over time and represent the real economy of trust that good content runs on across the open and increasingly fragmented modern internet.
GriffinDuT
If I had to summarise the editorial sensibility of this site in a few words it would be careful and human, and a look at brainsight-reeracoen extended that summary feeling, capturing the essence of a sites approach in brief is hard but this site has a clear enough identity that the summary comes naturally enough.
DouglasJAF
Came away feeling slightly smarter than I was when I started, that is a real win, and a stop at nicholashirshon added a bit more to that, the rare site that actually transfers some of its knowledge to the reader in a way that sticks rather than just creating an illusion of learning briefly.
Glennbruri
Clean writing, easy to read, and never tries too hard to impress, that combination is harder to find than people think, and after my time on threebakingsheetstothewind I am sure this site treats its readers well, no flashy tricks just useful content done right which is honestly all I want online.
JoshuaOrera
Started thinking about my own writing differently after reading, and a look at tranquilleeyecream continued that reflective effect, content that influences how I work rather than just informing what I know is content with the highest kind of impact and this site has triggered some of that reflective influence today on me.
Barryfup
Reading this gave me confidence to make a decision I had been putting off, and a stop at modernwoodcases reinforced that confidence, content that translates into action in my own life rather than just informing it is content with the highest practical value and this site is generating that action level utility for me lately.
LawsonFlies
Solid stuff, the kind of post that I will probably refer back to later this month when the topic comes up again, and a look at hawaiineiartcontest only confirmed I should bookmark the site as a whole rather than just this single page for future reference and use across coming weeks.
MylesFer
Thank you for the genuine effort here, it shows in every paragraph and not just the headline, and after my visit to colossal-heart I was sure this site cares about getting things right rather than chasing clicks, which is the main reason I will come back later this week to read more.
Eliaskat
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 adirondackfiddlers 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.
Darrickren
Just wanted to say this was useful and leave a small note of thanks, and a quick visit to maveroline earned a similar nod from me, the small acknowledgements add up over time and represent the real economy of trust that good content runs on across the open and increasingly fragmented modern internet.
LewisNem
Speaking from the perspective of having read widely on the topic this site offers something distinct, and a look at skibumart 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.
CarterLIT
A memorable post for me on a topic I had thought I was tired of, and a look at Letter4Reform suggested the same site can refresh other tired topics, sites that can revive my interest in subjects I had written off as exhausted are doing rare work and this one is clearly doing that for me today.
LucianWap
Really appreciate that the writer did not overstate the importance of the topic to make the post feel weightier, and a quick visit to hopprojects maintained the same modest framing, content that is honest about its own scope rather than inflating itself is the kind I trust and return to repeatedly over time.

Worth bookmarking and sharing with anyone interested in the topic, that is my honest take, and a stop at bighappenshere reinforces that, the kind of generous resource that makes the open web feel worth defending against the constant pressure to retreat into walled gardens and curated feeds today everywhere I look across all my devices.
AidanAduct
Really appreciate that the writer did not stretch the post to hit some target word count, the points end when they are made, and a stop at quvexacapital reflected the same discipline, brevity is generosity in disguise and this site has clearly figured that out far better than most blog operations have.
JulioGyday
Solid endorsement from me, the writing earns it, and a look at crownaboutnow continues to earn it across the broader site too, the kind of operation that maintains quality across many pages rather than just one viral post is a sign of serious commitment and that is what I see here clearly across what I read.
EganGak
Glad to have another reliable bookmark for this topic, and a look at kryvoxcore suggested several more pages I will be marking too, building a personal library of trustworthy resources is one of the actual rewards of careful browsing and this site is earning a place on my permanent shortlist for the topic.
BradGloge
Reading this post made me realise I had been settling for lower quality elsewhere, and a look at hellgate100nyc extended that recalibration, content that exposes how much I had been accepting in adjacent sources is content with calibrating effect on my standards and this site is performing that calibration function across topics for me reliably.
CarlGof
Bookmarking this for later, the kind of resource I want to keep nearby, and a quick look at votethurm confirmed the rest of the site is worth the same treatment, definitely going into my reference folder for the next time the topic comes up at work or in conversation with someone who asks.

Recommended without hesitation if you care about careful coverage of this topic, and a stop at stktgroup reinforced the recommendation, the bar I set for unhesitating recommendations is fairly high and this site has cleared it through the cumulative weight of multiple consistently good pieces rather than through any single standout post which is meaningful.
DarnellImpet
Now appreciating the way the post avoided the temptation to be longer than necessary, and a look at flourandoak continued that lean approach, content with the discipline to stop when finished rather than padding for length is content that respects both itself and its readers and this site has that disciplined editorial culture clearly throughout.
CliffordSluch
A piece that did not lean on the writer credentials or institutional backing, and a look at walkunchained 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.
Gusmiz
Yesterday I was complaining about the state of online writing and today this site has temporarily fixed that complaint, and a look at quinttatro extended that mood reversal, the short term mood improvement that comes from finding good content is real and this site has produced that improvement for me at a useful moment.
GregKep
Closed several other tabs to focus on this one as I read, and a stop at GoesToTown 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.
RonQuege
Speaking from the perspective of having read widely on the topic this site offers something distinct, and a look at cs-nippon-cp 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.
Wileyspofe
Liked the way the post balanced confidence and humility, and a stop at larkfest2013 maintained the same balance, knowing when to assert and when to acknowledge uncertainty is a sign of mature thinking and the writers here have clearly developed that calibration through what I assume is years of careful work on their craft.
Emilianolouch
Bookmark moved to my permanent reference folder rather than the casual maybe later folder, and a look at kavionbond earned the same upgrade, the distinction between casual interest and lasting reference is something I track carefully and very few sites cross that threshold but this one did so without much effort apparently.
Laynebog
Refreshing tone compared to the dry corporate posts on similar topics, and a stop at moeinclub carried that personality through nicely, you can tell when a real person is behind the writing versus a content team chasing metrics and this site definitely falls into the former category clearly across what I have seen.
DrewSusia
Now feeling confident enough in this site to use it as a reference point for evaluating others on the same topic, and a look at covidtest-cyprus continued the comparison friendly quality, sites that serve as quality benchmarks for their topic are precious and this one has clearly become a benchmark for me on this particular subject area.

Thanks for the practical examples scattered through the post rather than abstract theory only, and a look at stevieandbrucelive continued that grounded style, abstract points are easier to remember when paired with concrete situations and the writers here clearly understand how readers actually retain information from blog content reading sessions.
Lainetub
Found this through a friend who recommended it and now I see why, and a look at stacoa only strengthened that recommendation in my own mind, word of mouth still works for content that actually delivers and this site is clearly earning recommendations the old fashioned way through quality rather than marketing.

Now realising the topic deserved better treatment than it has been getting elsewhere, and a look at sjydtech extended that broader recognition, content that exposes the gap between actual quality and average quality elsewhere is doing the quiet work of raising standards and this site is contributing to that elevation in its own corner.
Patrickbog
Decided to set aside time later to read more carefully, and a stop at republicw4 reinforced that decision, content that earns a calendar entry rather than just a passing read is in a different tier altogether and this site is clearly working at that elevated level which I really do appreciate as a reader today.
AustinTrugs
Granted I am giving this site more credit than I usually give new finds, and a look at imprintregistry continued earning that credit, the calibration of how much trust to extend after limited exposure is something I do carefully and this site has earned more trust on shorter exposure than most due to consistent quality across.

Once I had read three posts the editorial pattern was clear, and a look at fearlessfoodrd confirmed the pattern from a fourth angle, sites where the underlying approach reveals itself through accumulated reading rather than being announced are sites with real depth and this one has that quality clearly visible across multiple pieces consistently.
JohnnieQuorb
Closed my email tab so I could read this without interruption, and a stop at maveroholdings earned the same protected attention, when content is good enough to defend against the usual digital distractions you know it deserves better than the half attention most online reading gets in a typical busy day.
