Facts about SWM Meerut City :
–Meerut City population 15.7 lakhs (2016)
–City generates about 600 Metric Tons= 600,000Kg = 6 Lac Kg of waste daily (500 grams per person){1}
–78% is daily waste collected (No record available on % of waste treated scientifically )
–The collected municipal waste from the city is landfilled at Lohia Nagar Hapur road, near Gaushi Pur village and Gawdi (Ganwri) officially.
There is a dire need of addressing the Waste Management problem in the Meerut City.
