Folks! I have not been able to write for several months now- I now hope to be more regular.
The Swacch Parle Abhiyaan has started in right earnest (SPA for short). SPA is trying to reach out to as many people as possible so that Vile Parle East can eventually become a 'zero garbage' area of Mumbai.
It has three levels
First Level
All waste generated is to be segregated into following categories
1. Clean dry paper
2. clean dry plastic
3. Wet waste including sanitary pads, diapers and wond dressings
4. mixed dry waste means dirty papers and plastic, metal, glass
5. E waste including electronic and electrical materials
6. Debris
E waste, Dry waste are to be given for recycling to respective collecting agencies, so they will not go to landfill
Debris will be collected by MCGM against payment of nominal charges
Wet waste will be picked up by MCGM dumper and taken to landfill
Second Level
The wet waste (except bio waste) will be processed at source by methods like composting, biogas, etc
Third Level
Manure produced will be used in organic farming within Vile Parle East, itself
Its a grand plan....but I believe its possible....So wish us success
