ABSTRACT
Objectives: The main objective is to select proper site for landfill and its design and
efficient management of solid waste in the study area. Methods/Analysis: The method and
analysis includes the comparing of different landfill sites in various components such as
soil, air, ground water parameters and propose the efficient landfill site and its suitable
design. This also includes the implementing of various strategies in solid waste
management. Findings: The projection of the population determined based on the present
population. The waste generated for the future years is determined by the base of the waste
generation at the current situation. The design of landfill and management of solid waste is
based upon the above said parameters. The result of the research leads to the innovative
selection of site and landfill design. Improvement: This research helps in better
implantation of the efficient methods in solid waste collection throughout the city.
Key words: Solid Waste Management,Land-Fill Design,Site Selection,Population
Projection,Waste Generation

1. INTRODUCTION
One of the major problem the world facing now is proper disposal of the solid waste.Due to rapid
increase and urbanisation in the population, many cities and towns doesnot have proper solid waste
management.Inproper disposal and treatment of the solid waste leads to air pollution,soil
pollution,contaminates ground water and may even cause health hazards.The ever lasting disposal
of solid waste is the significant factor of the efficient municipal solid waste management.Urban
Local bodies and government authorities should take the responsibility to dispose the solid waste
according the rules of municipal solid waste1.
Sanitary Landfill is the most appropiate and the efficient way of disposal of minicipal solid
waste. The availability of efficient landfill sites is one of the main problems being faced by Urban
Local bodies and civic bodies in the implementation of their principles .However, regional
municipal solid waste disposal facility can be implemented in the possible cities and towns if the
city is not having sufficient land for disposal. The clustering and merging of 3 to 4 cities can be
done and can set up a disposal facility2. Precautions should be taken that transportation should not
cause any effect on the economy. The advantages of the regional disposal facility of municipal
solid waste are:
Due to regional disposal facility, the existing land can be efficiently used.
The natural resources which are scarcity in that particular region can also be utilised in the
systematic way.
As the disposal facility is situated in the minimum radius of the particular region, it is very easy
to monitor with minimum manpower in well determined way.
The financial and technical burden on the authorities of the urban local bodies can be reduced
which leads to better use of technologies in costeffective manner.
Authorities have the advantage of easy estimation of waste generation in the processing as well
as the disposal of the solid waste.
2. METHODOLOGY
2.1. STUDY AREA
Tadepalli is sub-urban area in Guntur district of Andhra Pradesh, India. It is one of the Urban local
body along with other 12 ULBs present in the Guntur District .It Is a 3rd grade municipality
administered under Guntur revenue division. The town is surrounded by the Krishna River on its
south and NH-5 in the east, Amaravathi on its west and Mangalagiri on its north3.
Tadepalli is panchayat till 2009 and became 3rd municipality by clustering of Tadepalli and
Krishna Nagar Panchayats.Tadepalli held its first municipal elections in the year 2014. The total
area of Tadepalliis 19.52 km and it is divided into 23 No of wards. The total population of
Tadepalli is of 54,362 as per 2011 census. Themunicipal solid waste generated in the respective
municipality per day is 32 MT. The area of Tadepalli town is mentioned in the Figure 1.

A MultiStage, Multi Criteria Approach For Solid Waste Disposal Site Design and Management: A Model
Study
groundwater table is at low depth. The landfill construction needs a lot of earth work and lot of
equipment and manpower, as the area is hilly. The areas is also mostly covered with quarries which
does not have proper road network to this area. So, construction of road is very important to full fill
the landfill project. And the main drawback is the residents of the area opposed the construction of
the landfill, shown in Figure 4.
Other Dimensions
Height of Embankment above GL = 3 m
Top width of Embankment = 5 m
Slope of Embankment (2H:1V) = 2
Slant Height inside base to top of embankment = 7.71 m
Slant length outside GL to top of embankment = 6.71 m
landfill, the seepage from the moisture content present in the solid waste and the moisture present
in the daily soil cover are the few sources of leachate generation. 10 % evaporation has been
considered.
waste on a day-to-day basis in two types of bins - green bins for bio-degradable and blue bins for
recyclables. The door to door collection from congested roads shall be done on a daily basis
between 6:00 AM and 1:00 PM. The waste so collected is proposed to be transported to the nearest
community bins placed at convenient location on the approach roads.
First of all, sufficient place/venue for conducting these programs needs to be finalized. Well-
trained trainers will be required to deliver these training programs. A group of experienced trainers
who have similar kind of experience in conducting the awareness campaigns/training programs
should provide training to the target group on municipal solid waste management practices. During
the training program, participants should be given questionnaires, which must be used to collect
feedback from the participants. This will help to review the success of the program. The different
ways of promoting awareness is:
Door to Door Campaign
Public Address Meeting
Media Support
Social Mobilization
3. CONCLUSIONS
From the above, we can conclude that as there is no sanitary landfill for Tadepalli town, the area in
the Krishna Nagar will be suitable based upon the possible parameters and same can be proposed
for the construction of sanitary landfill. The design for the same area is given considering all the
dimensions. And also only 20% of the daily waste which is generated can be considered as the land
fill waste and remaining waste is treated in the form of recycling, reusing, composting etc..In
order to have efficient management of municipal solid waste in the Tadepalli town, it is better to
implement the PPP model and should motivate the citizens about the importance of the segregation
of the solid waste at the primary collection stage.
