arangal Municipal Corporation took up solid waste management initiatives for its Clean City Championship (CCC) campaign. The objective was to prove that if right planning and
Wstrategy was done in the spirit of competitiveness, any municipality can provide 100% door to door collection with substantial segregation (more than 70%) and the city can be
completely cleaned within 7 days and operation cost can be reduced by more than 30%. It could be demonstrated that the most critical 6 steps out of 7 steps of MSW Rules 2000 can be
implemented holistically and scientifically within 7 days. For seven days, it provided an opportunity to learn, lead, share and improve waste management services, not just to the local staff,
but also to 154 teams of other municipalities.
It was an institutionally driven campaign to implement the MSW Rules through a strong participatory learning and leadership under a fair, transparent guidance and rules from experts.
The host and participating municipal teams (field staff) were trained by the experts through field demonstration. Simultaneously, 7 innovative IEC campaigns were generating awareness,
and creating a platform to learn, lead, share and improve their ways of working. The city achieved 100% door step collection with 70% segregation in 4 different types at a pre-given time.
The major beneficiaries were households, who did not have to go to dispose of waste in open and children, whose open spaces were cleared for their recreation. For the first time, inter-
departmental coordination was established for solid waste management, with town planning and engineering department also owned circles and started facilitating work as nodal officers
for the given zones/circles.
