Waste Management Methods:

1) Solid Waste Management

 To keep campus, keep clean, neat and tidy, Dustbins are placed in the college premises, corridors and office.

 Cleanliness drives in campus for collection of garbage and solid waste by NSS & NCC students.

 The solid waste is segregated into organic and is used to prepare compost for in-houseconsumption and non-degradable waste is collected by the Municipality Sinnar.

 Maximized use of paperless technology i.e., sharing of data /Lecture notes on google class-room, google cite, college website e-mail etc.

 All one-side used papers are utilized for routine printing activities.

 Organic waste management: Swachha Bharat Abhiyan is one of the National event start-up by Govt. of India. This event helps the health of the nation by protecting from various diseases. Considering this fact & the interest of the nation & people our department of zoology run the project of organic waste management. Our college campus has rich biodiversity of plants & animals. During the winter season (autumn), there is a fall down of plenty of variety of leaves. It is our organic waste on which a number of insects can complete their life cycle & some of them act as vectors which are ready to spread the diseases. To prevent the spreading of diseases by such insect vectors, our students cleaned the college campus & decided to prepare the gold (vermin-compost) from this organic waste. As result of this, we constructed 10 vermi-compost units under one roof. The students under the guidance of Mr. S. T. Pekhale, Mr. V .S. Varpe & Ms. G. B. Shahane maintained the entire project of Organic Waste Management. They collected leaves of the plants of the college campus & put them into the vermi-compost unit with great efforts. They also spread water to maintain the moisture and collect vermi-wash from the unit. Due to this plant, the campus remains clean & healthy atmosphere. Number of mosquitoes & other harmful insects reduced in number in the campus. Students take benefits of their practicals of vermin-cultutre as a part of their curriculum. From this organic waste management, the product is utilised for the botanical garden in the college campus to other plants as bio a fertilizer.

2) Liquid waste management:

 Chemical liquid waste generated in the lab is collected in separate soak pits which arelocated aloof from the water bodies.

 The soak pits are periodically emptied and dumped in special area on the campuswith due care.

 Canteen wastewater shall be managed through sedimentation pits which are cleared periodically of the waste and the rest of the water shall pass into the traditional drain

. 3) E-waste management:

 E-waste at our college refers to electronic equipment that has gone out of use. The cartridge of printers is refilled from a suitable vendor and reused it
