Coimbatore has seen significant changes in waste management from 2014 to 2024, driven by rapid urban growth. Daily waste generation increased from 850 to 1300 tons, with collection efficiency improving from 75% to 91%. Source segregation participation rose from under 25% to over 70%, and recycling rates climbed from 20% to 60%. Landfill use decreased from 75% to 40%, thanks to advancements in composting and waste-to-energy methods. Despite these improvements, challenges remain, including inadequate recycling capacity and inconsistent segregation practices. Future efforts should enhance recycling infrastructure and technological solutions.
