TOR for Survey of Waste Pickers in Jaipur City

Background:

The Waste Pickers play an important role in Solid waste management in their own way by channelizing

the recyclable materials. They help in cleaning and clearing garbage and to some extent reduce the

expenditure of the corporation by picking the garbage informally. As theWaste pickers collected mostly

materials like plastic and metals, the sorting of solid waste become easier to the municipal workers in

the cities. Waste Pickers also provides livelihood to them and it was virtually a form of self employment.

Besides that Waste Picking is one of the most dangerous and in-human activity where the Waste Pickers

are exposed to harsh weather conditions surrounded by stray animals and infectious solid waste that

may induce them with many diseases.

Considering the strength of Waste Pickers activity in the Jaipur Municipal Corporation and their

potential to effectively dispose of solid waste, it is suggested that steps should be taken to improve the

working condition of the Waste Pickers. The corporation shall register the Waste Pickers involved in

work and issue smart cards to them so as to enable them to get their identity and show to the

households. Their services should be supported by the corporations in the city by providing them some

income to work near the dumpsites and manure production, using this manure produced to grow small

nurseries and maintain these nurseries which can provide livelihood not only to individual, but to their

families.

Objectives of Registration: Overall objective of reorganization of Waste Pickers/garbage collector to

valued them as workers who play a role in the economy like all other workers.

• To prevent unauthorized people/children entering dumpling grounds.

• To collect waste without being abuse and harassed.

• To collect segregated dry garbage from households.
