| Abstract | The study reports about the improper and poor municipal solid waste management system in the city of Jammu and highlights other issues like lack of public education, scientific techniques, machinery and legislation in the area that solicit immediate attention. The main aim of this research is to conduct a SWOT analysis (strength, weakness, opportunities and threats) of the municipal solid waste management system (MSWM) in Jammu city and propose an indicative solid waste management (SWM) plan by analysing both internal and external factors of SWOT. The city produces a whopping 350–400 MT (metric tons) of solid waste daily at a rate of 0.45 kg/cap/day, with contributions from domestic, institutional, commercial and street sweepings as 0.3, 0.03, 0.10 and 0.02 kg/cap/day, respectively. The operational efficiency of Jammu Municipal Corporation (JMC) is 50% and at present, only 18 wards have the facility of door-to-door collection of waste. Out of the total waste dumped by the JMC, the ragpickers collect only 20 MT of waste for recovery, reuse and recycling purposes. This study, therefore, not only attempts to improve the MSW problem in the city but also emphasizes the need of smart waste management systems that would further help in the development of a more habitable and environmentally friendly smart city. © Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. 2020. |
