- Town generates about 75 ton/day of solid waste
- Major contributors are market, abattoir and households
- Currently there is no provision of door to door collection. Households have to segregate the waste and deposit the waste to decentralised aerobic composting units
- Rest of the uncollected waste end up into vacant public land, roads, canal and backwaters and thus, causing pollution
- The town has recently won the recognition from United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) along with three other cities in Asia and Europe.
