measures to be taken for C&D waste management :-

Separation of C & D waste should be promoted at source and an institutional mechanism for
waste collection should be established involving informal sector who can be trained to
separate the waste into categories and also do some amount of use, reuse and reprocessing
like making tiles from crushed construction debris.
•Charges should be levied on C & D waste generators.
•Environmentally friendly technologies should be adopted for waste utilization of C & D
waste. •Standards for C & D should be formulated for waste utilization.
•There shall be easy access to the information regarding C & D generation, legislative and
regulatory framework and procedures to all stakeholders and common public

Methodology adoption:

Site Visit Measurement: Measurement of segregated waste at sight by visual inspection,

observing number of truck loads, etc. (Lau, Whyte, & Law, 2008).
• Waste Generation Rate Method: Based on material value during construction, material
wasted during construction, per-capita multiplication indices and area of building constructed
or demolished (McBean & Fortin, 1993).

A sample set of ten cities was used to identify the existing situation of CDW generation,
management and flow of materials in India.
The focus was on Mega8 and Tier 1 Cities9 . They were selected to achieve a geographic
spread spanning the entire country, narrowing down based on potential determined by
investment promised to the region and interest of stakeholders in the process (Figure 9). For
details of city selection criteria, see Annex 1. The selected cities were: • Metro Cities –
Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata, Chennai, Bengaluru (formerly Bangalore) • Tier 1 Cities – Patna,
Ahmedabad, Jaipur, Coimbatore, Bhopal Waste generation data was collected from 10
surveyed cities and correlated against urban population and density since accurate city level
data was available for both of these parameters. Regression coefficients (R2 values) were
calculated to analyse correlation of C&D waste with population and density of a city.
