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.

My usual response to new bookmarks is to forget them but this one I have already returned to twice, and a look at growthsystems pulled me back a third time, the actual return rate to bookmarked sites is the real measure of value and this one is clearing that measure at a notable rate already.

Now recognising that this site has earned a place in the small group of resources I treat as authoritative, and a stop at devsavanna confirmed that placement, the difference between resources I trust and resources I just consume is real and this site has clearly moved into the trusted category through consistent quality over time.
VictorOmity
Reading this triggered a small reorganisation of my own thinking on the topic, and a stop at claritycreatestraction furthered that reorganisation, content that affects the shape of my mental model rather than just decorating it with new facts is content with structural rather than informational impact and this site provides that.
JulianGetle
Easy to recommend without reservations, the site delivers on every promise it implicitly makes, and a look at flavorfusionfront kept that same standard going, the kind of consistency that earns trust over time rather than chasing it through aggressive marketing is what I see here and it is appreciated greatly by this particular reader today.
Daquanobess
Reading this triggered a small change in how I think about the topic going forward, and a stop at logiccore reinforced that subtle shift, the rare content that actually moves my thinking rather than just confirming or filling it is the kind I most value and this site is providing that kind of impact today.
Raymondacern
Thank you for the genuine effort here, it shows in every paragraph and not just the headline, and after my visit to clicktofindstrategicoptions 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.
Lucasflell
Once I trust a site this much I tend to read everything they publish and that is the trajectory I am on with this one, and a stop at blog33movement confirmed the trajectory, the rare progression from interested reader to comprehensive reader is something only certain sites earn and this one is earning that progression rapidly.
Gilbertsit
Bookmark added without hesitation after finishing, and a look at qualiaqube confirmed I should bookmark the homepage too rather than just this page, the rare site that earns category level trust rather than just single article approval is the kind I want to rely on across many different topics over time.
Brentkem
Looking for similar voices elsewhere has come up empty in my recent searches, and a stop at forgecore extended the search frustration, the rare site that does what no other does in quite the same way is precious and this one has clearly developed a particular approach that I have not been able to find duplicates of.
Heathnaine
Thank you for not assuming the reader already knows everything, the explanations meet me where I am, and a look at pineechoemporium did the same, that consideration is what makes a site feel welcoming rather than gatekeepy which is sadly the default mood across the modern web today for most subjects covered.
AndyAmurN
Yesterday I was complaining about the state of online writing and today this site has temporarily fixed that complaint, and a look at bethanymcintyre 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.
Johanvob
Took a few notes from this post, the points are easy to remember without needing to come back and check, and a look at blog44challenge added a couple more, the kind of place that sticks in the memory long after the browser tab has been closed for the day which says a lot really.
Victorspuch
Probably worth setting aside a longer block to read more carefully than I can right now, and a stop at devfalls confirmed the longer block plan, the impulse to schedule dedicated time for a sites archive is itself a measure of trust and this site has earned that scheduling impulse from me clearly today actually.
RamonMix
The headings made navigating the post simple even when I needed to find a specific section quickly, and a look at questquanta continued the same thoughtful structure, small details like clear headings show that someone is actually thinking about how the reader uses the page rather than just filling it for length alone.
MilesMat
Granted I am giving this site more credit than I usually give new finds, and a look at softfusion 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.
Harlanplutt
Closed it feeling I had taken something away rather than just consumed something, and a stop at biteblissbinge extended that taking away feeling, the difference between content I extract value from and content I just pass through is something I track informally and this site is consistently in the value extraction column for me.
Shawnpoups
Reading this with a notebook open turned out to be the right move, and a stop at joshuajones added more material to the notes, content that justifies active note taking from a passive reader is content with real informational density and this site is producing notes worthy material at a high rate consistently.
RickyEtelf
Now adjusting my mental list of reliable sites for this topic, and a stop at maskenzone reinforced the adjustment, the small ongoing curation work of maintaining trusted sources is one of the actual practical activities of careful reading and this site has earned a permanent place on my list for this particular subject.
Noahrix
The way the post stayed on topic throughout without going on tangents was really refreshing, and a look at devsavanna kept that focused approach going, discipline like this in writing is rare and worth recognising because most writers cannot resist wandering off into related subjects that dilute their main point and confuse readers along the way.
Wilfredprorm
Reading this prompted a small redirection in something I was working on, and a stop at blog33reallyss extended that redirecting influence, content that affects my actual work rather than just my thinking has the highest practical impact and this site is providing that level of influence for me at a sustainable rate apparently.
GusCor
A piece that read smoothly because the writer understood how readers actually move through prose, and a look at cinderpetal maintained the same reader awareness, writers who think about the reading experience as much as the writing experience produce better work and this site has clearly made that shift in editorial approach.
Heathdieme
Reading this in segments because the day was busy, and the post survived the fragmented attention well, and a stop at blog44how held up similarly under interrupted reading, content that can withstand modern distracted reading patterns rather than requiring a perfect block of focused time is increasingly the kind I prefer.
DarrenBiZ
Glad to find a site whose links lead somewhere worth going rather than back to itself for SEO juice, and a stop at datavalley kept that generous outbound feel, citing other peoples work with real respect rather than just for ranking signals is a sign of an honest operation worth supporting going forward.
CurtisJinge
Generally my attention drifts on long posts but this one held it through the end, and a stop at blog33public earned the same sustained focus, content that defeats my drift tendency is content with substantive pulling power and this site has demonstrated that pulling power across multiple pieces in a session that has now run quite long actually.
Brendaneruth
Felt the post had been written without using a single buzzword, and a look at devreef continued that clean vocabulary, content free of jargon and trendy phrases reads better and ages better and this site has clearly committed to a vocabulary that will not feel dated in three years which is impressive editorially.
Jamelcak
Easy to recommend, the content speaks for itself without needing additional praise from me, and a stop at blog66civil only adds more reasons to send people this way, the kind of generous resource that benefits its readers without demanding anything in return is increasingly rare and worth recognising clearly today across the broader open internet.
Arnoldbus
Once you start reading carefully here it is hard to go back to lower quality alternatives, and a stop at utama88a reinforced that ratchet effect, the way good content raises standards is real over time and this site has clearly contributed to raising my expectations for what is possible in writing on the topic generally.
CaseySkync
Even on a quick first read the substance of the post comes through, and a look at devprairie reinforced that immediate quality, content that does not require a slow careful read to demonstrate value but rewards one anyway is content with real depth and this site has produced work of that demanding depth class.
Landonmandy
Better than most of the writing I have come across on this topic recently, simpler and more direct, and a look at appfactor continued in that same way, a real outlier in a crowded space full of repetitive content that says little while taking up a lot of reader time today which is unfortunate.
Daviondot
Really appreciate the lack of pop ups, modals, cookie banners stacking on top of each other, and a quick visit to zestlink confirmed the same clean approach across the rest of the site, technical decisions about user experience are part of what makes content actually pleasant to engage with for sure.
FinnTarty
Found something quietly useful here that I expect to return to, and a stop at devorbit 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.
Mathewtup
Now appreciating that the post did not try to imitate any other style I might recognise, and a stop at prosperitybond continued that distinct voice, content with its own register rather than borrowed from elsewhere is content with real authorial presence and this site has clearly developed that presence through what feels like patient editorial work.
Thomaspaw
Will be sharing this with a couple of people who care about the topic, and a stop at tactpixel added more material worth passing along, the kind of site that is generous with quality content and does not make you jump through hoops to access it which is appreciated more than the team probably realises.
Tyroneroura
A particular pleasure to read this with a fresh coffee, and a look at halohaveny extended the pleasure across more pages, content that pairs well with quiet morning rituals is something I have come to value highly and this site has the kind of energy that fits naturally into a calm reading routine.

Bartboups
A thoughtful read in a week that has been mostly noisy, and a look at kodekit carried that thoughtful quality across more pages, finding pockets of considered writing in a week of distractions is one of the small wins of careful curation and this site is providing those pockets at a sustainable rate.
Bertramfouro
Top tier post, the kind that makes you want to share the link with friends working in the same area, and a stop at blog33put only made me more confident in doing that, this site is one of the better resources I have seen on the topic recently across both new and older posts.
OttoDib
Skipped the comments section but might come back to read it, and a stop at appbrook hinted at a quality reader community, sites where the comments are worth reading separately from the post are increasingly rare and signal a particular kind of audience that has grown around the editorial vision over time gradually.
Benrob
Picked something concrete from the post that I will use immediately, and a look at everydaypurchaseplatform added another concrete piece, content that produces immediately useful output rather than just abstract appreciation is content that earns its place in my regular rotation without needing any further evaluation from me at this point honestly.
JeffreyRot
Useful read, especially because the writer did not assume too much background from the reader, and a quick look at softpasture continued in the same way, a thoughtful site that meets people where they are which is something the modern web could use a lot more of for both casual and serious readers.
Mikemow
A piece that handled the topic with appropriate weight without becoming portentous, and a look at ordersure continued that calibrated seriousness, content that takes itself seriously without becoming pompous is something this site has clearly figured out and the balance shows up in every piece I have read across multiple sessions now.
Griffinnof
Thanks for putting this online without locking it behind email signups or paywalls, and a quick visit to blog33race kept that open feel going, content that trusts the reader to come back rather than gating access is the kind of approach I will reward with regular return visits over time happily.
DwightPreni
Now realising this site has been quietly doing good work for longer than I knew, and a look at datawoods suggested an archive worth exploring, sites with deep archives of consistent quality represent a different kind of resource than sites with viral hits and this one looks like the durable kind based on what I see.

MattTramy
Thanks for the moderate length, neither so short it skips substance nor so long it bloats, and a stop at longtermalliances hit the same balance, the right length is one of the hardest things to calibrate in blog writing and I appreciate when a team has clearly thought about it rather than defaulting.

Reading this on a long flight and finding it the best thing I read across hours of trying, and a stop at cloudberrymarket kept the streak going, when content beats long flight reading you know it has substance because flight reading is a hard test of a piece given the alternatives available everywhere.
Carlostoumb
Just nice to read something that does not feel like it was assembled from a content brief, and a stop at quartzdash kept that handcrafted feel going, you can tell when a real human with real understanding is behind the words versus a templated piece churned out for an algorithm to find.
