With an estimated population of 9.4 million, Bangalore is among the largest five cities of India. The solid waste management practice in Bangalore is very interesting. Waste generated per person per day is about 0.5 - 1kg. It generates more than 4,500 tonnes of Urban Solid Waste a day, which the Bhruhat Bangalore Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) is clear approximately about 60%. The primary and secondary collection, and transportation have been reasonably satisfactory to enable the city to remain clean. Consequently, there is a huge backlog of un-cleared waste cluttering the city are properties that are under dispute, lake beds, storm water drains, street corners etc., (Environmental Status Report, 2008).
The existing solid waste treatment system in the city is not very effective. Between the 1970s and 1990s a significant fraction of the fermentable wastes was composted or used directly in the fields. In spite of rapid growth in Urban Solid Waste production over the years, the capacity of compost plants has not increased. Various forms of waste recycling processes are currently functioning in Bangalore (reaching an estimated 67% of total recyclable content). This level is inadequate and it results in the production of non-fermentable wastes to be land-filled. A significant fraction of the total Urban Solid Waste is also dumped in about 60 shifting open dump sites and poses environmental problems. The total Municipal Solid Waste generated in Bangalore city has increased from 650 tons per day (1988) to 1450 tons per day (2000) and today it has become 4500 tons per day (Rajabapaiah, 1988). From 1988 to 2000 there is reasonable change in waste composition: fermentable, paper and plastic has increased
