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.

Reading this as part of my evening winding down routine fit perfectly, and a stop at clovervendorhouse extended the wind down nicely, content that calms rather than agitates is what I want at the end of the day and this site provides that calming reading experience reliably which is increasingly rare across the modern web.

A piece that did exactly what it promised in the headline without overshooting or underdelivering, and a look at goldenvendorhouse continued that calibration, alignment between promise and delivery is a basic editorial virtue that many sites fail at and this site has clearly mastered the matching of expectation and substance throughout pieces.

Now feeling slightly more optimistic about the state of independent writing online, and a stop at chocolatechasm extended that quiet optimism, sites like this one are the reason I have not given up on the open web entirely and finding them occasionally renews the case for paying attention to non algorithmic content sources today.
Paxtonwhank
Felt slightly impressed without being able to point to one specific reason, and a look at kevrina continued that diffuse positive feeling, when content works at a level you cannot easily articulate the writer is doing something with craft rather than just delivering information and that is something I have learned to recognise.

Came here from another site and ended up exploring much further than I planned, and a look at valuevillage only encouraged more exploration, the kind of place where one click leads to another not through manipulative design but through genuinely interesting content is rare and worth highlighting when found like this somewhere on the open internet.
Garretterofs
A piece that read as if the writer was thinking carefully rather than just typing fluently, and a look at raventia continued that considered quality, the difference between fluent typing and careful thinking shows up in writing and this site reads as the product of thought rather than just the product of language fluency apparently.
Yaleciz
Quietly enthusiastic about this site after the past few hours of reading, and a stop at keystonecrate extended that enthusiasm, the calibration of enthusiasm to evidence is something I try to maintain and this site has earned a calibrated quiet enthusiasm rather than the loud excitement that usually fades within a day or two of finding something.
Tobiasexerb
Found the rhythm of the prose particularly enjoyable on this read through, and a look at sagebazaar kept that musical quality going across the related pages, sentence rhythm is something most blog writers ignore but it makes a real difference in how content lands with the careful reader who cares.
WallaceCox
A particular pleasure to read this with a fresh coffee, and a look at inqvera 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.
DorianPaync
Anyone curious about this topic would do well to start here, the foundation laid is solid, and a stop at grenvia would round out their understanding nicely, this is the kind of resource I would point a friend toward without hesitation if they asked me where to begin learning about anything in this area.
SamAcafE
Solid endorsement from me, the writing earns it, and a look at blossomstore 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.

Bookmarking this for later, the kind of resource I want to keep nearby, and a quick look at pixelparade 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.
TobiasDuede
Reading the writers other posts after this one suggests the quality is consistent rather than peak, and a stop at wheatwarehouse confirmed the consistent quality reading, sites that hold the same level across many pieces rather than peaking on a few are sites with sustainable editorial discipline and this one has clearly developed that.
Donovanchazy
Beats most of the alternatives on the topic by a noticeable margin, and a look at doggearshop did not change that at all, this is one of the better corners of the open internet for this kind of content and I am glad I clicked through rather than skipping past quickly like I usually do.
BillGORRY
Decided this was the best thing I had read all morning, and a stop at flintvendorhouse 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.
AlecShula
My professional context would benefit from having this kind of resource available, and a look at varnika extended the professional applicability, the rare site that contributes meaningfully to professional work rather than just personal interest is content with multiplied value and this one is providing that professional utility consistently across multiple pieces.

Thanks for the readable length, I finished it without checking how much was left, and a stop at deltacrate kept me reading the same way, when I stop noticing the length of a piece because the content is engaging enough to sustain attention without willpower the writer has done their job well today.
WendellDauck
Stands out for actually being useful instead of just being long, and a look at flairdock kept that going, length without value is the default mode of most blogs these days but this site has clearly chosen a different path which I respect a lot as a reader who values careful editing decisions like that.

Found something quietly useful here that I expect to return to, and a stop at pearlpantry 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.
Princecex
Found this through a friend who recommended it and now I see why, and a look at borvique 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.
AntonioFak
Bookmark added with a small note about why, and a look at yerniq 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.
ArmandoPeX
Skipped the social share buttons but might come back to actually use one later, and a stop at yordle extended that share urge, content that triggers genuine sharing impulses rather than performative ones is content that has actually moved me and not many posts in a typical week do that for me actually.
Hanknap
Came in tired from a long day and the writing held my attention anyway, and a stop at digestiveaid kept that going, content that can engage a fatigued reader is doing something right because most online reading happens in suboptimal conditions like that one and quality content adapts to it without complaint.
Luisjuilt
Reading this between two meetings turned out to be the highlight of the morning, and a stop at wearwhimsy continued that highlight quality, content that outshines the structured parts of a working day is doing something well beyond ordinary and this site has produced multiple such highlights for me already this week alone.
Archmew
My usual pattern is to skim and bounce but this site has reset that pattern temporarily, and a stop at hazelvendor maintained the slower reading mode, content that changes how I read is content with structural influence and this site has clearly nudged my reading behaviour toward something better at least for the duration of these visits.
Ottosoord
Now wishing more sites covered topics with this level of care, and a look at orchidmarket extended that wish across more subjects, the rarity of careful coverage on most topics is a problem and this site is one of the small antidotes to that broader pattern of casual or surface treatment of complex subjects.
Dexterhed
Genuine reaction is that I will probably think about this on and off for a few days, and a look at jaspervendorstudio added fuel to that, the best content lingers in your head after you close the tab rather than evaporating immediately and this site clearly knows how to write that kind of memorable content.
Horacedyego
Closed it feeling slightly more competent in the topic than I started, and a stop at vpsvillage reinforced that competence boost, real learning is rare in casual online reading but it does happen sometimes and this site managed to make it happen for me today which is genuinely worth pausing to acknowledge.
BernardAbrar
Will share this on a forum I am part of where it will be appreciated by others working in the same area, and a look at woodwarehouse suggests there is more here worth passing along too, definitely a generous resource that deserves a wider audience than it probably has today across the open internet.
Gradyvog
Easy to recommend, the content speaks for itself without needing additional praise from me, and a stop at plumvendorstudio 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.
Mikened
Took the time to read every paragraph rather than skimming for the punchline, and a quick visit to dewdock 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.
Seanfah
Bookmark earned and the bookmark feels like a permanent addition rather than a maybe, and a look at roseoutlet confirmed that permanent status, the difference between durable bookmarks and ephemeral ones is something I have learned to feel quickly and this site triggered the durable feeling almost immediately during my first read here.
Anthonyhaize
Liked that the post resisted a sales pitch ending, and a stop at wifiwizard maintained the no pitch approach, content that ends without trying to convert me into a customer or subscriber is content that has confidence in its own value and this site is clearly playing the long game on reader trust.
PeteJen
Reading this back to back with a similar piece elsewhere made the quality difference obvious, and a stop at modernmistral only widened the gap, comparing content side by side is a useful exercise and the gap between this site and average competitors in the space is large enough to be noticeable from the first paragraph.
Markdef
Better signal to noise ratio than most places I check on this kind of topic, and a look at quenvia kept that going, every paragraph here carries something worth reading rather than padding out the page to hit some arbitrary length target that search engines reward but readers ignore as soon as they notice it.
Codyfreno
Honestly enjoyed every minute spent here, that is not something I say lightly, and a look at storagestation 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.
HerbertWaree
Refreshing to read something where the words actually mean something instead of filling space, and a stop at nightnook kept that going, the writing here trusts the reader to follow along without endless repetition or constant reminders of what was already said earlier in the post which I appreciate.
FinnNig
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 hazelbazaar 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.
RoyReomy
Now adding the writer to a small mental list of voices I want to follow, and a look at scarletrack reinforced that follow intention, the few writers whose work I actively track are writers who have demonstrated sustained quality and this writer has clearly demonstrated that sustained quality across the pieces I have sampled here today.
Orlandosix
Approaching this site through a casual link click and being surprised by what I found, and a look at legendlocker extended the surprise, the rare experience of stumbling into excellent independent content rather than predictable mediocrity is one of the actual remaining pleasures of casual web browsing and this site provided it cleanly.
Timothymot
Reading this on a long flight and finding it the best thing I read across hours of trying, and a stop at dawnbundle 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.
Abrahammum
Skipped to a specific section because I knew that was the question I had, and the answer was clean, and a stop at gymgearjunction similarly delivered targeted answers without burying them, content engineered for readers who arrive with specific needs rather than open ended browsing is increasingly valuable in a search heavy reading environment.
WinstonMup
A particular kind of restraint shows up in the writing, and a look at opalvendorvault maintained the same restraint across pages, knowing what not to say is just as important as knowing what to say and this site has clearly developed strong instincts on both sides of that editorial line throughout pieces I have read.
Karlasymn
Came away with a small but real shift in perspective on the topic, and a stop at wirewharf pushed that shift a bit further, the kind of subtle reframing that good writing does to a reader without making a big deal of it is something I always appreciate when it happens which is sadly not that often.
LucaFed
Reading this slowly and letting each paragraph land before moving on, and a stop at boatlifebazaar earned the same patient approach, content that rewards slow reading rather than speed is content with real density and the writers here are clearly producing work that benefits from the careful eye rather than the rushed scan.
