Real estate builders and construction companies believe that solid wastes need to be characterized by sources, generation rates, types of wastes produced, and composition in order to monitor and control smart city waste management systems while improving the existing system.


By 2030, almost two thirds of the world’s population will be living in cities. The need of sustainable solutions to be incorporated in the infrastructure is very important.

Waste management is one of the most important services that are planned in Delhi Government’s   Master Plan that was introduced under land pooling policy in 2014. 

Real estate builders and construction companies believe that solid wastes need to be characterized by sources, generation rates, types of wastes produced, and composition in order to monitor and control smart city waste management systems while improving the existing system.

New products cloaked with new packaging materials, new living standards and expectancy, change in income and life style practiced by the affluent people will increase the waste quantity of the City.

Therefore, managing solid waste is one of the most essential services which often fail due to rapid urbanization along with changes in the waste quantity and composition.

Quantity and composition will vary from place to place making it difficult to adopt for waste management system which may be successful at other places. Quantity and composition of solid waste may vary from place to place but the type’s remains the same. Types of solid wastes are:-

1.    RESIDENTIAL WASTES- food waste, plastic, old cloth, hazardous waste like old battery, nail polish bottles, insecticides, after shaving lotion, bottle, and biomedical waste like sanitary napkin.                  

2.    COMMERCIAL WASTES- Paper, plastic, used batteries and chemical containers.

3.    GARDEN WASTES- packaging material of agro chemicals, chips covers, ice cream cups etc.

4.    INDUSTRIAL WASTES-  chemical solvents, paints, sand paper products,  metals and radioactive wastes

5.    AGRICULTURAL WASTES- organic wastes such as animal excrete in the form of slurries, farmyard manures, silage effluents and soiled water.

6.    CONSTRUCTION WASTES- brick pieces, metals, soil woods, nails, electrical wiring and rebar.

What might sound delusive will become a reality in the Smart City Project.  Garbage containers transmit signals to indicate that they are over 80 percent full and should be emptied via the mobile communications network. The signals will be sent to a web-based software application which will be operated by the waste management company. Efficient and energy-saving street lighting and traffic light systems, water and wastewater management, reducing CO2 and vehicle exhaust emissions—these are just a few strategies which will be implemented in the Smart City residential projects.


Real estate investments in the national capital is said to rise with the inception of the Smart City Plan. Home buyers are being suggested to buy flat in Delhi as living in Smart homes will be an experience of a lifetime and the residents will enjoy nearness to all major institutions and entertainment establishments. Real estates in Delhi will soon be India’s most wanted properties because of the excellent designs and skillful constructions.
