  I think this depends upon the legislation of the country. For example, Indian laws suggest that a municipal authority has to take care of all the domestic waste generated in that city/town. So they usually set up these units or pay to private contractors for the same.

  Cameron sir, I agree with you on that part. Community based systems need to define those aspects. However, I am working on still a very primary level. :) Dear Eymontt sir, Well, people here like to sell such big sized wastes rather than throwing as it can get them some money. Moreover, being a small village, we dont have a waste treatment plant as such. Dear Izabel, its even smaller. Not even a city. I take encouragement from your example. Its my wish to establish proper SWM system in village. Thanks :)

  @all, thanks for your valuable inputs :) Mr Muqeet sir, I could not find that project on the webpage of the dept. I am trying to contact them though. If you happen to know who is the person working on this, it will be great help Dr Dharmendra sir, I have started to contact sarpanch and soon going to start the survey work. You are right about the non-willingness to pay but I am hopeful, i will be able to work something out. I am very short on time thats one problem. I will surely look up the Nirmal Gram Yojna. Dear Noshan, Thanks for the encouraging words :) I am following an outline quite similar to what you have pointed, albeit with one extra step, extensive community survey and looking for their opinions as that will matter more in villages i think. Thanks for the input and keep it coming :) Yasser sir, unfortunately we dont have a vet hsopital. There used to be one in the village but somehow, its not there anymore.
