Chandigarh, a well-planned city in northern part of India, has come a long way in dealing with its municipal solid waste (MSW). Currently the city has established a good waste management system where all the wastes generated are collected efficiently with a collection efficiency of 100%. We can say that this was made possible through the dedication of the city towards cleanliness and sustainability. Chandigarh has launched a range of progressive programmes which have been envisaged to address practical solutions towards improving source segregation, recycling etc and streamlining processing and disposal systems. Some of these have included awareness creation, launching of waste segregation at home, and creation of sophisticated processing plants. The city has also adopted innovative technology in managing waste by turning it into energy for use as well as compost to minimize dumped products that lead to degradation of the environment. Thirdly, many campaigns to involve the citizens of Chandigarh in the proper management of wastes have been instrumental in making the city what it is today; a city with responsible and environmentally conscious citizens. In this way, Chandigarh is still setting the best practice for other cities in India that sustainable waste management, with proper planning incorporation of the community, has benefits for the environment as well as public health.
Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) is the waste produced by residents, industries, offices and other organizations within a particular city or town where solid waste usually consists of such items as food waste, paper, plastics, cloth, yard waste and others. The components of the waste include; organic waste, paper and cardboards, plastics, metal, glass and textile wastes. Collection, transportation and recycling together with the correct disposal of the MSW require management. Good management practices should therefore seek to reduce the negative impact of wastes while at the same time increasing the amount of utilization of wastes. The key ways consist of recycling, composting, waste-to-energy (WTE), and landfilling. Recycling techniques transform used products into new products, composting techniques break down the organic waste into soil enhancers, WtE incinerates waste to produce energy and landfilling techniques bury wastes in designated areas. Cooperative working among municipal authorities, enterprises and inhabitants is one of the most important requirements for the efficient MSW management. By developing a dense population and consumption society, effective solutions to waste problems are required for sustainable development and protection of the environment.
Municipal Solid Waste Management (MSWM) offers several benefits, crucial for maintaining environmental quality, public health, and sustainable urban development. Here are some key advantages:
To obtain Municipal Solid Waste Management Authorization, the following procedure must be followed, primarily governed by the Solid Waste Management Rules, 2016. The process may vary slightly depending on the state, but the core steps remain consistent.
To apply for Solid Waste Management Authorization, the following documents are typically required:
The Professional Charges for Municipal Solid Waste Management is ₹99,000 only with Professional Utilities
The validity of the Municipal Solid Waste Management Authorization is normally for five years. The authorized entity should seek renewal of this authorization at least 90 days to expiry of this authorization in order to continuously operate and be in compliance with the relevant regulations.
Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) management in India can be regulated under a framework set under the Solid Waste Management Rules 2016.
Getting Municipal Solid Waste Management Authorization in the Urban region of India particularly Chandigarh is a significant procedural compliance for the implementation of the Solid Waste Management Rules, 2016. It is the process of submitting the required documents to get authorization, sharing the documents with the State Pollution Control Board, and compliance of the environment norms. The authorization was granted for five years and has to be renewed to carry out business in compliance with the laid down standard. According to the prescribed procedure, the entities involved in waste management can help Chandigarh to sustain the success in waste management and environmental protection.

Every local authority, village panchayat or other agency engaged in processing, recycling, treatment or disposal of the solid waste, especially when the waste generation is more than five thousand kilograms per day is required to obtain this permit.
The application has to be made in Form I along with such documents and the submission has to be made to the Chandigarh Pollution Control Committee or the respective state pollution control Board. The application can many times be submitted online through a portal or in hard copy to the office of relevance.
Failure to do so will attract sanctions such as fines, suspension or even revocation of the authorization. In severe cases, the legal procedures may be instituted against the said entity, and the operations stopped until the measures are put in place.
Chandigarh practices the utilization of new technologies like converting waste to energy, composting, effective recycling methods and intelligent waste management systems. These technologies assist in the utilization of the available resources and decrease landfill or dumping of wastes.

They've been very helpful in our registration with ICEGATE. It was a small thing with a small amount paid which somehow escalated to a very painful procedure. Never did they say "You've only paid so much. It's too much effort for us.".
Very pleased with their service. Prompt, professional and great communication. Definitely recommend. Special mention for Ms. Razia - she handled our case.
Professional Utilities is fully professional in their work, Rates are too low and genuine. Services and satisfaction are high so I highly recommended Professional Utilities.
They are one of the most genuine and reasonable people. I applied for lmpc certificate through them and they charged me a very nominal amount as compared to what other firms asked .
