According to the Solid Waste Management Rules, 2016, the responsibility of waste generators is fixed for segregation of waste into Wet, Dry, and Domestic Hazardous wastes.
– The Solid Waste Management Rules, 2016, mandate segregation of waste at source by the waste generator.
– The specified streams for segregation at the household level are typically biodegradable (wet) waste, non-biodegradable (dry) waste, and domestic hazardous waste (like batteries, expired medicines, etc.).
These rules aim to improve waste management practices across the country, emphasizing source segregation, collection, transportation, processing, and disposal. Proper segregation at source facilitates better recycling and processing of different types of waste.
