Delhi faces the prospect of being buried in its own garbage (a massive 9000 tons of rubbish it churns out every day), unless it fixes its woeful waste disposal system on a war footing. The facts are scary indeed: Two of the city's three overflowing landfills are close to being shut down. Worse, there are no replacements in sight to handle the capital's burgeoning mountain of muck that is likely to double by 2020 and require a dumping ground as large as the entire Luyten's Bungalow zone to handle. Since this is clearly impossible, the city must look at ways of reducing its rubbish by segregating waste, an area that has received scant attention thus far.
