Collection, transportation, treatment and disposal of municipal solid waste (MSW) remain major hurdles for Uttarakhand anatomized by the geographical factors including, physiography of the state in the form of hilly and remote region coupled by the fast urbanization. Geographical features of the state hampers the collection, transportation and disposal of waste effectively and affects the efficiency of waste management and pollutes the environment more in this state. Given the fact that the population of the urban cities is growing at a very fast rate and new urban centers such as Dehradun, Nainital, Haridwar among others are being developed without adequate consideration of waste management systems, the volumes of waste produced daily continue to rise. Nevertheless, the state has embarked on several approaches in enhancing the management of wastes, with emphasis on the adoption of new sustainable measures specific to the physical circumstances of the state. Measures are to address decentralized waste management, source-separation and waste-incineration facilities, and plants. Besides, awareness has been created to make people change their habits of producing waste and be involved in the recycling programs. The state government is also active towards increasing the capacity of local municipal bodies in terms of training and financial support so that better management of waste can be done. These initiatives are important in countering the problems of waste management in the state and in protecting the sensitive environment of the state for the future generation.

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.

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.
