There were statistically significant variations among different
locations (blocks/colonies) of the city for HW composition: paper
(3–10%), plastic and polythene bags (4–15%), food/kitchen waste
(69–87%), glass and ceramic scrape (0–2%), cardboards (0–7%) and
other miscellaneous items (0–10%). It is clear from observation that,
in all blocks of the city, the food/vegetable waste was the main
constituents of HW followed by, plastic/polythene bags, paper,
cardboards, others and glass-ceramic scraps. It is to be mentioned
here that hazardous waste contents in HW was comparatively
lower as compared to cities/towns of the developed countries.
The majority of hazardous component (as included in miscellaneous waste fraction of HW) in HW consists of dry cell, batteries,
computer CD, empty containers of household insecticides and pesticides, etc. The fraction of such waste in HW was in the ranges of
0–3.9% of the total volume of the wastes. The segregation of recyclable items and reselling of electronic and electrical equipments,
as whole or in parts, at household level is the major cause of low
volume of hazardous items in HW in the cit
