The Greater Chennai Corporation has been undertaking continuous efforts to improve the quality of Community and Public Toilets (CT/PTs) in the city. As a part of this effort, it has handed over the restoration, operation, and maintenance of 9 CT/PTs to the Tamil Nadu Urban Sanitation Support Programme (TNUSSP) for the period of 2 years.
TNUSSP is a consortium of organisations, led by the Indian Institute for Human Settlements (IIHS), that has been proactively supporting the Government of Tamil Nadu in making improvements along the entire urban sanitation chain.
TNUSSP began by conducting a pilot study on the condition of the 9 CT/PTs. The study found the need for refurbishment of toilets to better serve the public. In July 2022, GCC renovated the toilets. It installed lights, fresh taps, CCTV cameras, feedback devices, sanitary napkin vending machines etc. based on TNUSSP’s suggestions.
An orientation was conducted by TNUSSP for the GCC engineering team during and after the refurbishment of toilets. TNUSSP initiated multiple measures to improve accessibility and usability of the toilets. It worked on improving the safety of women users by ensuring the presence of women toilet caretakers through working hours, installation of CCTV cameras, and other means. It also supported the enhancement of accessibility for persons with disabilities and the elderly through design and structural changes to the toilets.
A new innovative technology called Multi-unit Reinvented Toilet (MURT) has been installed for a trial-run at Kottivakkam CT. Another CT at Anna Nedunsalai is selected for piloting MURT. This unit demonstrates on-site wastewater treatment which can generate about 3.5 kl of treated wastewater per day. The treated water can be reused for toilet cleaning and flushing.
TNUSSP has identified three service models for the operation and maintenance of the toilets. The three models of service providers include private enterprises, women Self-Help Groups (SHG’s) and individual entrepreneurs. The SHG-based model has been successful irrespective of the social boundaries. The toilet staff are trained regularly on sensitising the public about proper usage of the services. The toilets are operational all days from 5:30 am to 11 pm. The caretakers are instructed to record daily data on usage and to encourage users to give feedback on the services provided. A quality check is carried out by the supervisors on a daily, weekly and monthly basis. A cleaning schedule has been designed for the toilets based on footfall. In toilets with higher usage, the seats and floor are cleaned and disinfected on an hourly basis. Deep cleaning of the toilets is done once a week. The housekeeping staff are provided with PPE kits and adequate training to use the cleaning materials.
An increased focus is placed on behaviour change communication. Awareness of proper usage of the toilets and hygiene is done through community awareness programmes and the installation of posters and signboards within and outside the toilets. The staff are trained to educate and sensitise the users on the ill effects of open defecation and alcohol consumption inside the toilets. A positive change is observed in user behaviour towards sanitation and sanitation workers due to continued efforts and maintenance. The service providers are trained periodically on maintaining service levels, safety, hygiene, record maintenance and financial management. TNUSSP ensures regular monitoring of the service through IIHS-TNUSSP field staff and Service Level Agreements (SLA’s). SLA’s include a list of indicators like operational hours, toilet usage, cleanliness etc. This is measured using an app called KOBO Collect, an open-source android app to collect survey data. Based on the records maintained by TNUSSP, there has been a rise in service coverage and usage of the toilets, since July 2022 due to improved quality of services.

Government of India has launched the SBM-U 2.0 with the overall vision of creating “Garbage Free Cities”. The newly added component “Used Water Management” aims that in the towns having population less than 1 lakh, as per census 2011, no untreated used water including faecal sludge is discharged into the water bodies or open environment. However, there exist several challenges in these towns like lack of financial resources, institutional capacity and technical knowhow to plan, design, construct and operate these treatment facilities. To overcome the technical challenges, there felt necessity for a Ready Reckoner on different Used Water Treatment options, that are suiting to smaller towns in Indian climatic conditions. This Ready Reckoner is prepared considering above said challenges and suggests more affordable sewage treatment options, that are low in CAPEX & OPEX, easy to implement and simple to operate & maintain, as compared to the cost intensive conventional treatment technologies being adopted indiscriminately.
Everyday energy in cities & towns. At the end the form of food travels from rural villages to our of the day, this energy ultimately ends up as solid and sewage waste. One of the biggest challenges facing India is a pressing need to manage waste generated in urban cities.

About 15 units of generated electricity drive 15 HP motors for processing plants and the rest of the electricity is used for the street lights near the campus. The Remaining slurry that comes out of the digester is distributed to vegetable garden that has been set up in the area of 200 cents in which more than 70 fruit trees such as mango, jackfruit, papaya, coconut, sapota, guava, Custurd Apple etc. Garden is planted with intercrops like tomato, mung bean.

When we segregate the waste at source, it reduces the amount of waste that reaches landfills thereby pollution of air and water can be considerably reduced. To achieve this, all households and premises segregate their waste as "wet waste"( from kitchen and gardens) and "dry waste" (including paper, glass ,plastic and domestic hazardous waste and sanitary waste wrapped separately)
Greater Chennai Corporation has been carrying out several innovative ways to educate residents about the importance of waste segregation at their home. Moreover, Union Ministry of Housing and urban Affairs has conferred "Best State Capital Award in Innovation and Best Practices" to the Chennai City under Swachh Survekshan- 2021 results. As a part of the source segregation awareness initiative GCC has recently launched "Source Segregation Challenge 2022' along with the coordination of Chennai Enviro Solution Pvt Ltd on the eve of this year's World Environment Day, themed "Only One Earth" to motivate people to segregate wastes in their home.It is a month-long awareness campaign.
This campaign was launched by Honourable Mayor of Chennai Mrs. R. Priya on 9th July 2022.The Honourable Mayor too participated in this challenge by posting a selfie with segregated wastes in social media and invited the Greater Chennai Corporation officials and other Elected representatives to Participate in this campaign.
In this challenge, the Residents of Chennai were asked to take the challenge for segregation of waste at source (house). The participant has to post the selfie or photograph with the segregated waste in two bins in their social media page. It is necessary for the participant to tag Greater Chennai Corporation Facebook page and the company page 'Chennai Enviro Solutions' while posting for the Challenge in their Facebook. They shall also tag their contacts and ask them to take up the challenge. To make it more attractive, a lucky draw will be conducted at the end of the Challenge.

The Wet waste generated in the city has been completely transformed into manure in 24 micro compost centers in decentralized approach.Erode City Municipal Corporation has 24 Micro Compost Centre with capacity of 2TPD to 5TPD with specific service area comprising 2-3 wards having 5,000 – 10,000 Households. Around 75 MT of wet waste is processed daily and produced 10-12 TPD of good quality manure is produced. The manure generated is given to the farmers at free of cost.
Unique features : No need of secondary storage and secondary transportation, less Fuel Expense for vehicles, Effective handling of waste, 24x7 clean streets and storm water drain, Bin free street in residential area(760 no. of garbage bins removed), Active people participation.
Cost incurred: Rs.60 Lakhs for 5 TPD.
Erode Corporation is made as Garbage free! Bin free! Dump free! This results in safe environment.
Garbage is an eye sore, who would like to see a file of garbage day in and day out. Yes, in many cities there are places where the waste from households, shops and debris from demolished buildings are dumped regularly in particular places. We call them Garbage vulnerable points. One Such point in Dharmapuri Bus stand where not only Garbage is dumped, but the walls are regularly filled with all kinds of bills/noticed in spite of repeated and removal and defacing. What the municipal Administration did to counter that, is really commendable. They defaced the wall, and painted with a picture of wings of butterfly and made it into a ‘Selfie Point’. Frequent footfalls prevented people from dumping the waste and sticking bills/ Notices in the wall. Hope many such selfie points come up in many cities and towns.
Kadayanallur municipality in Tenkasi district spreads over an area of 52.25 Sq.km with a population of 90344.The total waste generated is 27 MT of which, 15 MT iswet waste and 12 MT are dry waste.Out of 30,170 residential households, 652 households are successfully practicing home composting. The manure generated ineach household are used for own gardening and also given to the neighbors at free of cost. The awareness is being given to all households by engaging animators to increase the practicing of Home composting to reduce the waste generation in the towns.
As the Sale/Supply Market for Organic Manure Produced from Micro Composting centres is very small due to lack of transport availability for Farmers, it is thought to promote Home Composting among public. In other Hand, interest showed by public in practicing Home Composting also very low.
To avert both the issues, instead of bulk packing of manure in 25/50 Kg bags, organic manure were packed in 500/1000 grams packs and supplied to residential households for promoting Home composting. The awareness was given by engaging animators and supervisors. The interested public visited MCCs and gathered practical knowledge of organic farming. As a positive side effect of this practice, source segregation also improved in the households, since the public understood that ULB is handling waste in a scientific manner at present instead of dumping in dumpsites as was done so far.
Manure produced in Micro composting centres are utilized properly instead of getting wasted. Home composting practice and source segregation also improved.
Since manure production by MCCs and Handling of waste by Home Composting are continuous processes, the sustainability of this initiative seems to be high and constant
Compost makes houseplants very happy.
We all know that the municipal solid waste is broadly categorised into wet waste and dry waste. Inculcating the behaviour of segregation of waste among the public is a herculean task.
What the Vikramasingapuram municipality did to tackle this was that, they motivated the young school children of P.LW.A High School and Andrews matriculation High School to segregate and bring the dry waste from their and their relatives' houses and hand over to the school. This was initiated on 07.07.2022 during the People movement for clean cities campaign under the slogan My Waste My Responsibility. The dry waste from the schools was collected by the municipality for the further segregation and processing.
Acknowledge this activity and to encourage the students to sustain this behaviour, the Headmaster of the schools appreciated and awarded the students who collected the dry waste in large quantity.
Ms. D.Harshini of P.L.W.A High school collected 12 KG of plastic and Ms Mahalakshmi collected 9 kg plastics and won first and second prizes. In Andrews High School 8A and 12A students collected 23.4 kg and 21.3 kgs of dry waste respectively. All were felicitated with medals and certificates by the Regional Director of Municipal Administration and Assistant Superintendent of police. The school management has promised to collect the dry waste on every Wednesday and Friday.
Household things and home furnishings are made from materials extracted from collected garbage.
