Municipal solid waste or household waste poses a major concern for Odisha state as the state is constrained with limited infrastructure and faces a lot of difficulties in disposing municipal solid wastes in a scientific manner due to pressure from factors such as rapid urbanization and population growth. The increase in population density in terms of human and other life forms has put further pressure especially on city dwelling towns like Bhubaneswar and Puri and the pressure is accompanied by enhanced production of waste and the challenges of managing the waste efficiently. To address these problems, the state government has come up with the following measures to try and enhance the management of wastes. Such measures include the practices of proper waste disposal mechanisms, development of localized waste disposal facilities, and encouragement of campaign programmes that encourage people in the community to participate in waste management. Furthermore, the state is also working to present advanced solutions of waste disposal including waste to energy and composting technologies. There are also attempts to enhance the framework for collecting, transporting and disposing wastes, with a view of ensuring that developing cities are capable of handling increased demand for waste management. However, the problems are still persisting in implementing effective WM; therefore fresh efforts and engagements of government bodies, private sectors, and the local community are crucial for creating sustainable WM Odisha.
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.
Anyone who is engaged in the business of processing, recycling, treating or disposing Municipal Solid Waste in Odisha requires the authorization under the Municipal Solid Waste Management Rules, 2016. This entails forwarding of some relevant documents, and assessment by SPCB, and compliance with environmental norms. The authorization is initially valid for two years and it may be renewed for a period of five years. Therefore, it is important that the local authorities willingly adhere to the conditions set by the SPCB to enhance operating and environmental norms hence promoting sound waste management procedures within Odisha.

Any local authority, village panchayat, or agency concerned with the management of municipal solid waste especially where the generation of such waste is more than five thousand kilograms per day has to obtain the authorization. This entails undertaking waste processing companies, recycling entities, treatment facilities or any firm engaged in waste disposal.
This means that if the authorization is not renewed, the organization cannot engage in waste management until the next authorization is granted. However, for one to be in a position to continue running his/her business, an application for renewal has to be made at least 60 days before the grace period is over and in accordance with the laid down provisions of the law.
The renewal process therefore requires the completion of a renewal application form which is submitted to the SPCB or PCC. The SPCB will have to assess the application so that it keeps the facility in line with the specifications contained in the regulations concerning environment standards.
Lack of license may result in sanctions as fines, shutdown of operations and other legal measures against offenders. It is very important to have and to retain this authorization to be legal and to pursue adequate and reasonable waste management in the state.

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 .
