Railways develops 367-litre waste collection system for LHB coaches: The wider industry impact

The new system has a holding capacity of 367.4 litres, compared with around 18 litres in the existing arrangement, substantially reducing the need for repeated emptying of bins during long journeys, according to CPRO NCR Shivam Sharma. The undergear collector has a specialised 3:10 taper design, which facilitates its quick removal for emptying and maintenance. The estimated assembly cost of each disposal bin is around Rs 12,000, with each coach having two bins on both exits.

Necessary modifications, if suggested by RDSO during inspection, will be incorporated before further implementation”, Shivam Sharma said. GM NCR Naresh Pal Singh who has been monitoring the project said the new system could eliminate the need for multiple rounds of manual handling of garbage bins during long-distance journeys.

The collector can be emptied during maintenance after the journey. The system has been designed using stainless steel to ensure durability, corrosion resistance and longer service life. The drop box and collector can also be cleaned independently from both sides, helping maintain hygiene and control odour. “The innovation has already been submitted to the Research Designs and Standards Organisation (RDSO) for inspection and approval.
