Waste Management..

Lot has been written and spoken about this topic but we have never learnt its importance , still want to give a try...


Not everybody knows that in some areas of Pune we do follow method to separate out  Dry waste and Bio waste..(ओला कचरा आणि सुका कचरा ) atleast where i live... municipality workers collect the waste in different containers (upto here everything seems ekdum perfect ) but at the end when they empty out the containers in dumper ,they  "JUST DO IT".......(गयी भैस पानीमे)... so its not making any sense...

So what is being followed here?

Here they try to recycle as much as garbage as they can by segregating it .You can not throw the waste just like that or you will be fined....You have to separate the different kinds of waste. you have different containers for Papers, Plastic waste, Bio waste, Dry waste. For Glass.electric cells , cloths they have different containers.
Every house,Buildings, Apartments have these containers with fixed colour code like:


Blue Container : Paper waste
Yellow Container : Plastic material, Foils , cans
 Brown Container : Biodegradable waste like leftover food

Black Container : This is for everything else that cannot be disposed of any other container.

They have specific days to collect specific garbage means they will collect Plastic garbage one day nothing else ,the other day they will collect only paper waste like that...(no question of getting mixed as i mentioned in very first para) You get a calender like this to know when garbage collectors will come to collect ...

They also have different containers for Glass and Cloths at some common locations which looks like this ...












So what we can do??
I am not expecting this method for common people at least at the start. But can be started from all housing societies , Buildings, Industries  where people knows the importance of recycling. so we wont need to put the banner like:
