Draw inspiration from Indore’s success: LG directs MCD on segregation of waste
The Lieutenant Governor of Delhi directed the Municipal Corporation of Delhi to strengthen waste segregation, citing Indore’s segregation success as a model.
- Waste segregation means separating waste into categories at the point of generation so collection and processing can handle each category better.
- Segregating waste into categories can reduce mixing, which can make waste collection more orderly and less wasteful.
- Municipal solid waste management includes waste collection, transport, processing (including segregation), and disposal; better segregation at the start helps later steps.
- Indore’s waste segregation results are used as a benchmark for Delhi’s municipal waste segregation push.
