waste segregation

The waste segregator is currently available in four capacities—500 kg, two tonnes, five tonnes and ten tonnes.

“Often, most of the organic waste that ends up in landfills, produces methane which is a big contributor to greenhouse gases. The residents wanted to change that.”

For years, residents in Ambapur dumped garbage near local ponds. However, a three-stage programme implemented by a bunch of youths helped them treat their waste scientifically

Purushothaman from Bengaluru has saved 60,000 litres of water, planted 6,000 trees and prevented 25,000 disposable plastic items from entering the landfill. Read how he took simple steps towards a sustainable lifestyle.

"I had courage. I was prepared to fail. Everybody told me it won't work," says Poonam Kasturi, the founder of Daily Dump. Today, waste segregation and composting have become necessary facets of urban life.

Thanks to this initiative, over four tonnes of waste are diverted from landfills every single day. Other railway stations in India would do well to learn from this example!

“Our organic waste is not a problem and is actually a solution to our energy problem. Social collaborations are very essential in such a scenario. For example, in our society, everyone segregates their own waste."

It's a project of the people, for the people and by the people, says DC Avny Lavasa in an exclusive interview. #WasteManagement #GreenIndia

Bengaluru generates 4,000 tonnes of waste every day. Don't let your shampoo bottles and milk covers add to that. Give them a new life!

Thane has taken this unique initiative in order to encourage citizens to practice safe waste-disposal.
