Waste Management Scenario in Jorhat, Assam

Aditya Bhuyan

Solid waste management is a major challenge at local, regional and global level. Jorhat, a major urban agglomeration in Assam, India, produces approx. 35 Tons per day (TPD) of municipal waste which is expected to increase up to 39 TPD and 58 TPD by 2025 and 2035 respectively. With such increased future waste production projection, without any focus on waste management, the city will face acute problems leading to health and sanitary issues. There is a single open disposal site in Jorhat without any facility for recycling or infrastructure for a scientific sanitary landfill at the site. Since 2019, the waste collection facility has improved significantly with daily collection of household from majority of wards across the city. However, the question remains regarding the management of the wastes produced. So, a comprehensive plan for solid waste management as well as its execution should start at the earliest hour with focus on transitioning the economy from linear to circular one thus closing the material loop.
