We keep on hearing about the problems with our municipal waste treatment plant and more often than not we have the fingers pointed at them for not being able to take care of the city's garbage and continued smell emanating from there, without knowing the real fact.
The moment we talk about garbage we consider anything and everything that is discarded from our office or created in our kitchen or backyard is suitable to go into the municipal waste bin.
Netherlands and European countries have disciplined themselves to handle waste and have been able to successfully generate power to meet the requirements for their cities. And the starting point is our home. The most significant, the very first and foremost requirement for managing municipal waste is segregation of domestic waste. Segregation of waste right at the point of origin is the only way to successfully manage municipal waste.
The process must start from our homes. The campaign to keep our city clean and green must start from our own homes. Let us keep separate bins to dispose of the household and office waste.
