Delhi’s Waste Crisis — And Your Role in Solving It
Understanding the problem helps us appreciate why responsible disposal isn’t optional.
The Scale of Delhi’s Waste Challenge
Delhi generates over 11,000 tonnes of municipal solid waste daily — enough to fill 550 trucks every single day. With three overflowing landfills at Ghazipur, Bhalswa, and Okhla, the city is running out of space.
The Ghazipur landfill, taller than the Qutub Minar, has been declared a health hazard. Yet every day, more waste arrives. The solution isn’t just better landfills — it’s diverting waste before it gets there.
When you segregate and hand over recyclables to a kabadiwala, donate clothes to Goonj, or compost kitchen waste, you’re actively reducing the burden on these landfills.
- Recyclables like paper and plastic can be processed infinitely
- E-waste contains precious metals worth recovering
- Organic waste can become compost instead of methane
- Textiles find second lives through NGOs
The Circular Economy Opportunity
What if waste wasn’t waste at all? The circular economy reimagines trash as a resource. Instead of “take-make-dispose”, materials circulate — recycled, upcycled, or composted back into the system.
Delhi is seeing a surge in circular economy initiatives. Karo Sambhav recovers e-waste for major brands. Chintan works with waste pickers. Daily Dump makes composting accessible.
Construction debris, once dumped on roadsides, is now processed at MCD’s C&D plants. Even sanitary waste is being transformed by startups like PadCare Labs.

Dispose Like a Pro
Expert tips to ensure your waste is handled properly.
🧴 Rinse Before Recycling
Always rinse milk packets, food containers, and bottles before giving to kabadiwalas. Dirty waste may be rejected and ends up in landfills.
🍂 Separate Browns & Greens
For composting, keep dry leaves (browns) separate from fresh kitchen waste (greens). They decompose at different rates.
🔴 Red Dot for Sanitary Waste
Wrap sanitary pads/diapers in newspaper and mark with a red dot. This protects waste workers from infection.
💉 Puncture-Proof for Needles
Put used syringes and needles in a hard plastic bottle before disposal. This prevents injury to waste handlers.
🍲 Donate Food Within 4 Hours
Use Feeding India or Robin Hood Army for quick volunteer pickup.
📱 Use MCD 311 App
Download MCD 311 to report illegal dumps, request debris pickup, or find collection schedules.
