1. WORKSHOP ON SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT, PAPER RECYCLING AND BEHAVIOUR CHANGE COMMUNICATION

2. CLEANLINESS DRIVE AS PART OF SWACH BHARAT MISSION

3. THE CLEAN PERSON IS NOT THE ONE THAT RUNS AWAY FROM DIRT BUT ONE WHO TAKES THE TIME AND EFFORTS TO TIDY – UP A DIRTY ENVIRONMENT.

4. Other parts of animals they slaughter
WHAT IS WASTE
Since the beginning, Human kind has been generating waste.
It could be in the form of:
Bones
Other parts of animals they slaughter
Wood
With the progress of civilization the waste generated became of a more complex nature.

5. At the end of 19th century (Industrial revolution) there was rise in the world of consumers.
The increase in population and urbanization was also largely responsible for the increase in solid waste

6. TYPES OF WASTE Solid Waste Liquid Waste Gaseous Wastes
Animal by-products
Biodegradable waste
Biomedical waste
Bulky waste
Business waste

7. Chemical waste
Clinical waste
Coffee wastewater
Commercial waste
Construction and demolition waste (C&D waste)

9. Solid Waste Management in Schools

10. SOLID WASTE It is defined as:
“Non-liquid, non-soluble materials ranging from municipal garbage to industrial wastes that contain complex and sometimes hazardous substances”

11. WASTES IN SCHOOL’S WASTE GENERATED IN SCHOOL’S IS MAINLY: PAPER
WRAPPERS
LEFT OVER TIFFIN
LABORATORY WASTE

13. EFFECTS OF SOLID WASTES
a) Health Hazard
If solid wastes are not collected and allowed to accumulate, they may create unsanitary conditions.
This may lead to epidemic outbreaks.
Many diseases like cholera, diarrhea, dysentery, plague, jaundice, or gastro-intestinal diseases may spread and cause loss of human lives.
In addition, improper handling of the solid wastes is a health hazard for the workers who come in direct contact with the waste

14. b) Environmental Impact
If the solid wastes are not treated properly, decomposition and putrefaction (decay) may take place.
The organic solid waste during decomposition may generate obnoxious (intolerable) odors.

15. CONTROL MEASURES
The main purpose of solid waste management is to minimize the adverse effects on the environment. The steps involved are:
Collection of solid wastes
Disposal of solid wastes
Utilization of wastes

16. Abandoned or unused quarries,
METHODS OF DISPOSAL
Disposing of waste in a landfill involves burying the waste, and this remains a common practice in most countries.
Landfills were often established in
Abandoned or unused quarries,
Mining voids
Borrow pits

17. A properly designed and well-managed landfill can be a hygienic and relatively inexpensive method of disposing of waste materials

19. RECYCLING
Recycling refers to the collection and reuse of waste materials such as empty beverage containers.
The materials from which the items are made can be reprocessed into new products.
Material for recycling may be collected separately from general waste using dedicated bins and collection vehicles, or sorted directly from mixed waste streams.

20. BIOLOGICAL PROCESSING
Waste materials that are organic in nature, such as
plant material
food scraps
paper products
Can be recycled using biological composting and digestion processes to decompose the organic matter

21. WASTE MANAGEMENT 4 R’s CONCEPT
Four Rs (Refuse, Reuse, Recycle and Reduce) to be followed for waste management.

22. REFUSE
Instead of buying new containers from the market, use the ones that are in the house. Refuse to buy new items though you may think they are prettier than the ones you already have.

23. REUSE
Do not throw away the soft drink cans or the bottles; cover them with homemade paper or paint on them and use them as pencil stands or small vases.

24. RECYCLE
Use shopping bags made of cloth or jute, which can be used over and over again.

25. REDUCE
Reduce the generation of unnecessary waste, e.g. carry your own shopping bag when you go to the market and put all your purchases directly into it.
