These types of HSG organizations, businesses, hotels, etc. are referred to as bulk waste generators.

Few people are abiding by the requirements, even though the civic authority has published multiple circulars urging city bulk-waste generators to start composting. To address this, the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike wrote to the Urban Development Department pleading with it to publish a gazette notification making in-situ composting required. Too many more have done the same.

More than 35-40% of the city’s waste are produced by bulk waste generators. For generators of bulk trash, in-situ composting is required by the Solid Waste Management by-laws. Officials have acknowledged that many people are not participating in it because there was no notification(SWM). If they do not have the space for in-situ composting, these bulk waste generators can hire impaneled vendors for disposal.

Municipalities and governments should prioritize waste disposal in the first place. individual participation is required.

Due to two decades of economic expansion, India’s trash has changed since 1990. The amount of MSW generated in India is constantly increasing due to the rising population and changing lifestyles.
