MEASURES TO BE TAKEN TO IMPROVE THE SYSTEM
Looking to the present situation, transportation of waste has to be planned scientifically to bring about a total change in the existing system.
System of transportation should be such that it can be easily maintained departmentally or through private garages and the system should appropriately match with the system adopted for the storage of waste at the waste storage depots. Manual loading should be discouraged and phased out expeditiously and replaced by direct lifting of containers through hydraulic system or non-hydraulic devices or direct loading of waste into transport vehicles.
Transportation of waste should be done regularly to ensure that the containers /trolleys and dustbin sites are cleared before they start overflowing. The frequency of transportation should be arranged accordingly. The system of transportation of waste must synchronize with bulk storage of waste at the temporary waste storage depots. multiple and manual handling of waste should be avoided.
