 What are Legacy Waste Dumpsites?

  • Legacy waste dumpsites are locations where solid waste has been dumped over many years in an uncontrolled manner.

  • India has over 3,000 such sites, with 2,424 having more than 1,000 tonnes of waste.

  • Originally on city outskirts, many dumpsites are now in urban areas due to city expansion.

  • Approximately 15,000 acres of land is buried under about 16 crore tonnes of legacy waste.

What are the Health Hazards?

  • Exposure to emissions from these dumps can irritate the throat and mouth.

  • These sites emit harmful gases, including methane and carbon dioxide.

  • Breathing in methane can lead to nausea, vomiting, and coordination issues.

  • People living near dumpsites are at higher risk for diseases like tuberculosis, asthma, diabetes, and cholera.

  • Workers at landfills may develop skin allergies due to prolonged exposure.

What is the Swachh Bharat Mission?

  • Initiated on October 2, 2014, aimed at eliminating open defecation and improving sanitation in India.

  • The mission sought to create Open Defecation Free (ODF) villages by October 2019.

  • In 2021, SBM 2.0 was launched to make cities garbage-free by 2026.

  • Focus on source segregation of waste, door-to-door collection, and remediation of legacy dumpsites into green zones.

  • ₹3,226 crore allocated for remediation efforts.

What has been the Progress So Far?

  • As of September 2023, 471 out of 2,424 dumpsites have been fully remediated.

  • Remediation for 1,226 sites has been approved and is in progress, while 727 sites remain untouched.

  • Of the 17,039.71 acres of dumpsites, only 27% has been reclaimed, with 73% still needing work.

  • Tamil Nadu leads with 837 acres reclaimed, while Gujarat has reclaimed 75% of its landfill area.
