Summary:
“In our area, residents hand over both dry and waste waste to the collection van every day. Had the initiative been implemented properly, even citizens would have got into the habit of segregating wet and dry waste,” said Kulkatni.Effective segregation of garbage at source facilitates category-wise collection and subsequent processing of waste. While wet garbage can be effectively disposed of in pits and gardens at ward level by composting, other processing methods can be used for treating non-organic waste. Both AMC’s ground staffers and citizens are ignorant of segregating waste at source. and domestic hazardous wastes (diapers, napkins, empty containers of cleaning agents, mosquito repellents, etc.).
