Solid waste management in Chapra (Bihar): Problems and Prospects
Author(s): Dr. Anupam Kumar Singh
Abstract: Solid waste management ought to be "everyone's concern," but it has historically been "nobody's business." The difference between enforcers and implementers is significant. One of the fundamentally important services offered by municipalities is solid waste management. Due to inadequate planning, Chapra's solid waste management issue is becoming worse every day. The city of Chapa produces a significant amount of rubbish and garbage each day. An average of 87-92 tonnes of solid trash are produced daily in Chapra City, according to estimates. Chapra City's fast population increase, urbanisation, development, and shifting lifestyles have also altered the waste composition, which is now mostly composed of organic and plastic trash. The lack of a monitoring system, garbage collection trucks, and management makes the transportation and disposal of solid waste more difficult. It is also found that most of the people throw garbage on open space, in water bodies etc, it’s a challenging task for cleaning. So, this paper illustrated the various aspects of solid waste management issues in Chapra. Regularly garbage collection, promotion of ‘Reduce, Reuse and Recycle (R-R-R), participation of NGOs and local people are needed. Societies also acknowledge the necessity of handling waste in a safe and responsible manner.
