Solid Waste Management

Introduction

            Solid Waste Management Services handles the transfer and disposal of your garbage as well as the processing and sale of recyclable materials collected through the blue box program. Solid Waste Management Services also coordinates a variety of 3Rs programs (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle) to help residents and business reduce their production of waste.

             Management of solid wastes, an essential service and an obligatory administrative function of urban bodies, has to be given a top priority. Unscientific handling and disposal affects the environment and the health of the citizens. The worst affected are the poor. With continuing urban growth the situation has become critical. Low financial or human resources, institutional weakness, poor technology and public apathy towards cleanliness are often cited a as the reasons for unclean cities. The Nirmala Nagara Programme proposes to develop a scientific system of waste segregation, collection, and disposal, by the cities in Karnataka. It expects to do this by instilling good management practise, infusing technology and by bringing in appropriate human and other resources.
