Abstract :

The quantity of MSW has also increased tremendously with improved life style and social status of the populations in urban center (Sharholy, et al., 2007).This paper focuses on the evaluation of Collection and Transportation(C&T) aspect of the four selected cities. Citizen/residents are more concern with collection and transportation, as they are directly affected with C&T system. Once garbage is collected and transported away from their habitats, they are least bother with the treatment and disposal of the solid waste. Ahmedabad, Vadodara, Surat and Rajkot are four cities having population more than one million. All four have received fund under JnNURM for infrastructure upgradation scheme. Comparison of C&T of four cities identifies area of concern for improvement.
