Integrated Solid Waste Management in Dombivli MIDC Phase I, Kalyan-Dombivli.

The wastes that matter most in Phase I are the hazardous ones: distillation residues, spent carbon, filter cakes, treatment sludge and the drums that held raw materials. Space is short, and waste left too long at the back of the yard is a fire and inspection risk in one. We set up covered, bunded storage sized to real generation, labels that match the authorisation, and a dispatch routine that keeps storage within its permitted period, with each load backed by a manifest.

Phase I is the older half of the MIDC estate in Dombivli East, laid out when paddy fields and open ground still surrounded it. Its plots hold chemical, dye, textile processing and engineering units, most of them owner-run, with reactor sheds, drum yards and boiler chimneys set close together. The estate was planned with its own residential zone, and that housing has since filled in and grown upward, so apartment blocks now overlook working plants across a single road. Its units send their wastewater on to a shared plant for final treatment. Several older units have shut or changed hands, and their sheds have found new occupiers.
