Practitioners' knowledge building Series on Bulk Waste Generators (BWGS) and their Management of Solid Waste

Bulk Waste Generators (BWGs) are entities that generate waste in large quantities. It is estimated that BWGs contribute about 30-40 per cent of the total waste generated in a city. A lion’s share of this waste -- 50-70 per cent -- is biodegradable in nature.

The Solid Waste Management Rules (SWM Rules), 2016 and the Union Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs have laid down specific criteria for classifying a waste generator as a BWG. According to these criteria, waste generators can be categorised as BWGs if their average waste generation rate is over 100 kg per day, and if they qualify as a resident welfare and market association, gated community, government office, institution, etc built over an area of more than 5,000 sq m. The SWM Rules, 2016 mandates these BWGs to manage organic waste within their premises, either through composting or bio-methanation.

Centre for Science and Environment (CSE), which has been working extensively on policy and implementation of segregated organic waste treatment by BWGs, invites you to its latest webinar in the Practitioner’s Knowledge Building Series – on how BWGs can manage their waste and help their cities divert the waste from reaching landfills.
