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.

Recommend this to anyone who values clear thinking over flashy presentation, and a stop at whitenoisewonder continued in the same understated way, this site has its priorities in the right place which makes it worth supporting through repeat visits and recommendations rather than just one passing read today before moving on quickly elsewhere.

Worth saying that the writing carries a particular kind of authority without making any explicit claims to it, and a stop at fieldcrate extended that earned authority feeling, sites that demonstrate expertise through the quality of their explanations rather than by stating credentials are sites I trust most and this site has it.
ArmandoAmepe
Just want to acknowledge that the writing here is doing something right, and a quick visit to worldshipper confirmed the same standards run across the broader site, recognising good work is something I try to do when I find it because the alternative is silence and silence rewards mediocrity.
JesusBrida
Easy to recommend without reservations, the site delivers on every promise it implicitly makes, and a look at graniteaisle 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.
HughTus
Compared to the usual results for this kind of search this site stands well above the average, and a quick visit to orlavive kept the standard high, you can tell within seconds whether a site is going to waste your time or actually deliver and this one clearly delivers without any false starts.

Now feeling something close to gratitude for the fact this site exists, and a look at warehousewave extended that gratitude, the rare site that produces this kind of response is the rare site worth defending in conversations about whether the modern internet is still capable of producing genuinely valuable independent content for serious adults.
NicoFaw
Started reading and ended an hour later without realising the time had passed, and a look at valecrate produced the same time dilation effect, when content makes time feel different the writer has achieved something well beyond the average and this site is producing that experience for me reliably across multiple readings.
BuddyMer
Even from a single post the editorial care is clear, and a stop at lightandlamp extended that care across more pages, the kind of attention to quality that shows up in every paragraph is what separates serious sites from the rest and this one has clearly invested in that paragraph level attention across what I have read.
Forestsig
Coming back to this one, definitely, and a quick visit to quickcrate only made me more sure of that, the kind of writing that makes you want to set aside time later rather than rushing through it now while distracted by everything else competing for attention on the screen today across so many tabs.
IbrahimBax
Reading this prompted me to dig out an old reference book related to the topic, and a stop at springvendor extended that connection to other sources, content that connects me back to my own existing knowledge rather than asking me to forget it is content with continuity and this site has that continuous quality.
Boblow
Now appreciating that the post did not require external context to follow, and a look at longtermalliances maintained the same self contained quality, content that respects new visitors by being readable without prerequisites is content with broader accessibility and this site has clearly invested in keeping each piece reader friendly for fresh arrivals.
VaughnFar
Thanks for not padding this with the usual filler intros and outros that every other blog seems to require, and a quick visit to gingerbazaar continued that lean approach across more posts, content stripped of waste is content that respects you and I will always come back to that kind of approach.
Guillermovar
If I were grading sites on this topic this one would receive high marks, and a stop at ringrivulet continued earning those high marks, the informal grading I do mentally for content sources is something I take seriously even though it is informal and this site has been receiving consistent high marks across multiple sessions today.
GusWal
Skipped the TLDR thinking I would read everything anyway, and ended up enjoying the path through the full post, and a stop at brookaisle similarly rewarded the patient read, summaries are useful but the journey through good writing is part of what makes the destination feel earned rather than just delivered cleanly.
JimmyGaini
Reading this brought back the satisfaction I used to get from blogs ten years ago, and a stop at melvora kept that nostalgic quality alive, sites that capture what was good about an earlier era of internet writing are increasingly precious and this one is doing that without feeling like a deliberate throwback at all.
Boriszergo
Decided this was the best thing I had read all morning, and a stop at larnix kept that ranking intact, ranking my reading is something I do mentally throughout the day and the top rank is competitive and not easily won but this site won it without needing to overstate its claims for that.
Dennisirozy
Now feeling the small relief of finding writing that does not condescend, and a stop at lilyluxe extended that respect for readers, content that treats its audience as capable adults rather than as people to be managed produces a different reading experience and this site has clearly chosen the respectful approach across all pieces.
Stewartstund
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 yardcart 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.
RudolphLat
Stayed longer than planned because each section earned the next, and a look at fetchbay kept that pulling effect going across more pages, the kind of subtle pull that good writing exerts on attention is something I find harder and harder to resist when I encounter it on the open web today.
Ronaldvew
Took the time to read every paragraph rather than skimming for the punchline, and a quick visit to quistly earned the same careful attention from me, that is the highest signal I can give about content quality because my default mode is rapid scanning rather than deliberate reading on most pages.
KalenWhess
After several visits I am now confident this site is one to follow seriously, and a stop at canyoncart reinforced that confidence, the gradual building of trust through repeated quality exposures is the only sustainable way to develop reader loyalty and this site is building that loyalty in me through patient consistent work consistently.
WilfordJar
Reading this prompted me to clean up some old notes related to the topic, and a stop at fixforge extended that organising urge, content that triggers personal organisation rather than just consuming attention is content with motivating energy and this site has the kind of clarity that prompts active follow up rather than passive consumption.
Robindat
Bookmark earned and folder updated to track this site separately, and a look at schemaatelier confirmed the folder upgrade was the right call, organising my reading list so that good sites do not get lost in a sea of casual bookmarks is something I do more carefully now and this site warranted its own spot.
Morganawait
Taking the time to read carefully here has been worthwhile for the past hour, and a look at jeweldepot 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.
BenOxymn
Now considering whether the post would translate well into a different form, and a look at uplora suggested similar versatility, content that could move into other media without losing its substance is content that has been built around ideas rather than around format and this site reads as idea first throughout posts.
Larrywam
Now setting this aside as a model of how to write thoughtfully on the topic, and a stop at quartoa extended that model status, content that becomes a reference for how a kind of writing should be done is content with influence beyond its own readership and this site is reaching that level for me clearly today.
KelvinToify
Felt the writer respected the topic without being precious about it, and a look at starrack continued that respectful but unfussy treatment, finding the right register for serious topics is hard and this site has clearly figured out how to take the topic seriously while still being readable for casual visitors regularly.
JerryOmiMi
Liked the post enough to read it twice and the second read found new things, and a stop at nooklily 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.
SamDem
Bookmarking this for later, the kind of resource I want to keep nearby, and a quick look at sunnyshipment 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.

Now adding this site to a small mental group of recommendations I keep ready for specific kinds of inquiries, and a stop at breezevendor extended the recommendation readiness, content that I can confidently point friends and colleagues toward in specific contexts is content with real social utility and this site has that utility clearly.
Burtonloata
Skimmed first and then went back to read carefully, and the careful read paid off in places I had missed, and a stop at nearbyneeds got the same treatment, the rare site whose content rewards a second pass is content I want more of in my regular rotation rather than disposable single read articles.
Axeltox
After several visits I am now confident this site is one to follow seriously, and a stop at metatagmart reinforced that confidence, the gradual building of trust through repeated quality exposures is the only sustainable way to develop reader loyalty and this site is building that loyalty in me through patient consistent work consistently.
Shawnmot
Picked this for my morning read because the topic seemed worth the time, and a look at floralvendor confirmed the choice was right, my morning reading slot is precious and giving it to this site felt like a good investment rather than a waste which is a higher endorsement than I usually offer for content.
Geraldtaw
Closed the tab with a small sense of finality rather than the usual rushed exit, and a stop at outboardoutlet produced the same considered closing, when reading ends with deliberate satisfaction rather than impatient skip you know the time was well spent and this site is producing those satisfying endings consistently across what I read.
CarlosSaw
Reading this fit naturally into my afternoon walk because I was reading on my phone, and a stop at quickmeadowstore continued well in that walking format, content that survives mobile reading without becoming awkward is content with format flexibility and this site has clearly thought about how it reads across different devices today.
Colbygrork
Got something practical out of this that I can apply later this week, and a stop at verdantvendor added more details to think about, this is exactly the kind of content I bookmark for future reference rather than the throwaway listicles that dominate most search results these days for almost any common topic.
Keenanplaic
Felt this in a way I cannot quite explain, the topic just hit different here, and a stop at fernbasket continued in that vein, sometimes you find a site whose perspective lines up with how you have been thinking and reading their work feels like a small relief which I appreciated more than I expected.
DarrickMaync
A piece that respected the reader by not over explaining the obvious, and a look at ga4gear 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.
OrlandoUnelp
Thanks for keeping the writing direct without losing the warmth that makes content feel human, and a stop at floramarketplace carried both qualities forward, balancing professionalism and personality is a rare skill and the writers here have clearly figured out how to consistently land it across many posts which I notice.
CaseyTor
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 driftdahlia 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.
ForrestGreds
A genuine compliment to the writer for keeping the post focused on what mattered, and a look at brightcrate 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.
LionelWig
Generally I am cautious about recommending sites on first encounter but this one warrants the exception, and a look at claritydrivesmotion reinforced the exception making, the rare site that justifies breaking my normal cautious approach is the rare site worth flagging early and this one has prompted exactly that early flagging response from me.
Princebroal
Now thinking about how to apply some of this to a project I have been planning, and a look at parcelpoppy added more material for the planning, content that connects to my actual creative work rather than just being interesting in the abstract is the kind that earns priority placement in my reading rotation consistently going forward.
EdmundPurce
Pleasant surprise, the post delivered more than the headline promised, and a stop at wildwarehouse continued that pattern of under promising and over delivering, the rarest combination on the modern web where most content does the opposite by promising the world and delivering thin recycled summaries instead each time you click on something interesting.
RodrigoBug
Honestly impressed, did not expect to find this level of care on the topic, and a stop at nightaisle cemented the impression, you can tell within the first few paragraphs whether a site is going to be worth the time and this one delivered on that early promise nicely throughout the rest of what I read.
FranklinFrupe
Just enjoyed the experience without needing to think about why, and a look at dewcrate kept that effortless feeling going, sometimes the best content is invisible in the sense that you forget you are reading until you reach the end and realise time has passed without you noticing it pass naturally.
Evanponia
Honestly enjoyed every minute spent here, that is not something I say lightly, and a look at saverstreet confirmed I will be back, the bar for spending time online is high for me these days but this site clears it without effort which is high praise indeed from this reader who is usually rather demanding.
